Don’t bring your rolling cooler. Do get hepatitis meds.

Yeah, I've been. Honestly, I hated it. Bad food, small rooms, crowded pool. But Cozumel was fun.

In Cozumel I’ve done both Mr. sanchos and Paradise Beach and I prefer Paradise Beach. It is not all inclusive but especially if you got the drink package on the ship he won’t necessarily need. They offer food and drink and I think it’s less than like five dollars to get in but check on both out and compare

we went to paradise beach last summer. i think there was a food/drink package and also plenty blow up slides in the ocean for kids. my 7yo boy loved it. if you don't get the food/drink package the drinks are very pricey.

We booked a private guide for the day. I wanted him to stay with us and be part of our experience so he took us to brunch (local place) and had breakfast margs. Paid for his meals also. Then he showed us around his neighborhood. Then headed to the other side of the island where we were some of the first that day, so it was kind of to ourselves. He spoke fluent English and was very entertaining. Was a great experience to get away from the crowded ship people.

I was on it 3 weeks ago. Good time but prepare to sip and cover literally everywhere inside.

Mr sanchos in Cozumel was fun but I Swear the drinks were watered down.

Also a lot of the entertainment team was in quarantine so shows were altered and honestly boring.

You get what you pay for and I thought paying less than 500 for all I could eat and drink for 5 nights was worth it

It was ok to take your mask off entirely during dinner but not while seating in a bar or lounge equally far away from others.

You must be halfway to Cozumel by now... hope the weather on board is decent cause it sure sucks here in NOLA. I've been on Valor a couple of times.

On board -

Play trivia

Try out the draft beers at Red Frog Pub

Be a fatty and get multiple items at dinner

Spend some time at the Alchemy Bar

In Cozumel, go to Mr Sanchos if it's your first time there.

Sorry guys just seeing all these replies.

Had wonderful time on the trip. They were kinda a pain in the arse about the masks but i just kept it around my chin most of the time.

The ship was wonderful. Food was amazing. Drinks were actually pretty good. Way better than any resort ive been too.
The weather was alittle rough but the wife did fine. She gets motion sickness pretty easily.

We ended up going to the Park with the dolphins.... not sure of the name. But on the way back to the ship we paid the taxi driver to bring us to an authentic Mexican hole in the wall restaurant. Well after walking down a couple allies and think we were going to be murdered or sold into sex trafficing we ended up in this kinda market i guess you would call it. No one spoke english except our taxi driver. We asked the taxi driver to eat with us and had him order all the food and drinks. The food was absolutely to die for. We fed 5 of us for $30 and left food on the table cuz we were so stuffed.

Turned out to be an amazing trip.
