The last stop on our cruise was the island of Cozumel, Mexico. The island is 8 miles wide and 30 miles long. It is a stop for many cruise ships, sometimes have 7 ships there at once!
I hired a guide, Adiel, that I read about online. I emailed him for a very long time before the trip. It was a very good experience. He showed us the island, and took us to a local neighborhood restaurant for lunch! The people here are poor and the main industry is tourism. The island is safe, because no one wants to mess with the tourism and the cruise ships will leave if there is ever a problem!

Wall with broken glass imbedded into it. Security is still an issue! I enjoyed this island, and I will be back in Jan. on another cruise. I think we have seen the island and will not feel obligated to be off of the ship much.
The Caribbean is nice, but I still prefer Alaska! Maybe the Jan cruise will change my mind!!!
