And time. Around C-53 & Las Palamas it's been known to even change direction during a dive.
tiggy:
Amen.

Did you look closely at the docked ship and the international pier? I may be wrong but it appeard to me that while they were docking at the international pier, it was still under construction and they were still using tenders.

Thanks James. It was a typo.
The cruise ships certainly appeared to be docked. They were tied into the pier and we never saw a tender approach them. They were using the slot closest to shore on the south side. However, I did not look specifically for the gangways. Those that were clearly tendering were much farther out.

Wasn't really clear to me either, yea they were tied in but at least once I saw a tender tied off on the south (non dock) side of the ship. I got the impression that they were basicly just using the dock as a mooring. Maybe Christi knows for sure.
The pier was covered with heavy equipment so if they were using it for passengers they must have been using the bow of the ship only.

I know I didn't see the tender bays on the south side open when we cruised by on the dive boats. Those are really pretty distinctive when open. I've got a couple of picts at home of the docked ships, so I'll see if I can tell anything from those.
Finally got my topside photos uploaded.

(I recently got a new camera and used the trip as a great excuse to figure out what all it could do. Hence the duplicate shots.)

When I was there in May, they were unloading by tender from the docked ships. I don't think they leave those doors open when they are not actually transferring folks.
ggun,
Being rather curious, I just checked on Cruise Critic. Past cruisers are stating that one ship a day did dock and the cruiser walked off onto the dock.
Someone on their Cozumel board has access to the "official docking list". In general, since it's the International Pier that's open, RCCL ships have priority over the one available spot. If they don't have one due in, Carnival appears to be docking their largest.

It could be that they were doing both. I saw them tendering folks off docked ships when I was there, but they could have had doors open on the other side as well.
