Hi Fraser: Some of the comments about your video are unfair. I believe you were simply sharing your impressions of the immediate port area. Having been there, I would agree that the terminal area is all about selling tourist merchandise. Sellers can be quite aggressive. The same can be said of 5th Avenue in Playa Del Carmen. Having said that, there are tourist traps and there is the real Mexico. Pre-covid I spent 5 winters on the Yucatan and thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a large and vibrant ex-pat community of Americans and Canadians living there. There is so much to learn and enjoy with regard to Mexican culture, history, cuisine, and drink. While it is true that you can’t appreciate all of that on a cruise port day, that is also true on many Caribbean cruise stops. Even a really great excursion can only provide an impression of the place. I’m not sure that you deserved some of the defensive comments you received. I watched your video a second time just to make sure I hadn’t missed something. Honestly, I interpreted your comments as reflecting what you observed in the immediate port area and didn’t interrupt it as being a commentary on Mexico as a tourist destination. Stay calm and carry on!
Patricia, thanks so much for watching, and thanks for taking the time to leave this comment! You’re absolutely right - this was a review of the port area, and absolutely not Mexico as a whole - in fact, if people were to watch my other Mexico videos (Puerto Vallarta, for example) they’d know that I love Mexican cruise stops! Thanks again - have a fab day!
That museum was a nice find! They really should have a more prominent sign to let people know it's there. I wouldn't have minded a bit more time touring inside but I understand why you did not.
Yeah, I was also really impressed with this - a real shame it’s not a big tourist attraction - I assumed that would just be stone inside! Thanks for watching!!
Dear Fraser, if one is NOT on a cruise ship, then Cozumel, Merida, Cancun, and the rest of the Yucatan are about 1,000% the very best places to visit, or even in live, in Mexico these days. In Mexico, there is the omnipresence of violent crime almost everywhere. That being said, with a few recent exceptions, the Yucatan has remained far safer and far more charming, than the rest of Mexico. It truly is a shame because Mexico is just one of those very, very special places that should be on anyone's bucket list. You need to get off a cruise ship and go visit San Miguel de Allende, or any of the towns of the Guanajuato; or if you have Mexican friends, then try Veracruz. Explore the Yucatan with a Mexican guide. Mexico City, with all due respect, is one big polluted mess with the worst air on the planet and there are far prettier capitals in Latin America (think Buenos Aires). But the food, the warmth of the locals (just watch out for pickpockets and muggers in the evening), and the constant effusion of color. And if you learned Spanish Spanish in your British schools, it will be practically of no use to you in Mexico. While the local vernacular is indeed Spanish, it has, while respecting traditional Spanish grammar, developed its own vocabulary, unrecognizable to the rest of Latin America. For example, in Spain the question of "where to catch the bus" translates in Mexico to the most vulgar of vulgarities and might you get punched (seriously so). So yes, Cozumel, for the daytripping white gringo from the Mid-West, whose world view is limited to a Big Mac and fries, Cozumel might appear as a tourist trap. To the rest of us, however, it is about as good as it gets in Latin America. Kind regards, Lulú du Furet
Oh, what an insightful comment - thanks so much for taking the time to type this! I would LOVE to return to Mexico one day - hopefully I can take this RUclips audience with me to showcase what’s available when not on a ship! Thanks so much for watching!!
This is one of the most pretentious and condescending things I’ve ever read. Also it’s a joke - Cozumel and Cancun are two of the most saturated tourist traps in the country. And San Miguel? The town that’s been totally overtaken with obnoxious boomer gueros with terrible Spanish skills and an army of nasty little lap dogs they drag around the cobbled streets as they pretend to live in a fantasy antebellum Mexico? San Miguel thanks to Americans is almost completely ruined in authenticity and livability. What absolute nonsense. As for Mexico City - it’s one of the largest urban centers of the world with over 26 million people. To reduce its dozens of neighborhoods to a single sweeping generic judgment isn’t just ignorant, it’s insulting.
We always take back shirts for our kids and grankids,a souvenir if you will.. also next time get a taxi for $12 amd go to the downtown shopping area. Beautiful beaches also farther down the the port. We love to go downtown to a restaurant and shop and just take it all in..
Ahh, thanks for the tip Mandy - will get a cab next time! I imagine the kids have built up quite a tshirt collection over the years? Ha, thanks for watching!
Interesting.......Cozumel is a humongous expat community to live in, so I'm not surprised it's so so so tourist-trap-y. (and I bought two boxes of scottish shortbread on the Vic to take home with me, one box is already gone LOL) Your little stroll at 10:22 was the twin of walking down the main street in citè portugaise, morocco. Cozumel seems....to use the word again, interesting, though I'm not sure watching it, just how I'd feel about it. Hmm. I love the pay it forward concept....I've found it in nearly every single country I've visited or lived in. It is an amazing thing.
I love that your first box is already gone, haha! You’ll need to come to Scotland one day to buy the REAL thing! I’d love to see Morocco - that’s still on my list - one day…!
@@FraserAtSea I'm trying to move to Scotland but *some* of you messed that up for me LOL I think I actually first had them in Edinburgh. If I get up there, I'll let you know! If you go to Morocco, let me know and I'll hook you up with my "brother" who has a place there ;-) Well, if it's a land trip of course LOL
LOL, i had to buy Tshirts there because friends REQUESTED that i bring them back some! I feel so bad for you, you missed the cool stuff about cozumel! There's so much beyond the immediate port area. I actually usually end up docking at a totally different pier and it's not even that touristy as the one you showed. But i always book an excursion for a private jeep and it's VERY reasonable, includes lunch and snorkeling and tequila tasting, and they will take you to the "wild side" of the island and anywhere you want to go!
Hi Sara, it sounds like I need to return and do something like this - I really wasn't impressed with the immediate port area at all! I didn't actually realise the other side of the island is where it's at - next time...! Thanks for the tip!
Interesting experience you had there. Don’t know why people are angry… you did say you had a really nice day. It’s obvious you aren’t getting a full Mexico experience with only being there a few hours but I appreciate you talking us through the port area itself as if you didn’t want to take an excursion there was nothing else on offer. I saw that orange drink you like in Asda last week and I thought if you.
Joanne, you saw the Orange Fanta-esque drink in Asda?!? I’ll need to get down there and see if it’s still there and buy a truck load - thanks for the heads up! Glad you enjoyed the video - I did genuinely enjoy my port call here, even if I wouldn’t repeat it, ha! Thanks for watching!
Walkers shortbread all the rage here in Kyrenia North Cyprus too! Retired here. Not cheap! £3/4 for a small box of shortbread : ( Makes a good birthday gift as all my Turkish friends like it. (I like Edinburgh shortbread, much more refined and delicious, but you cannot get it here.)
I'm thinking there must be another area where cruise ships dock in Cozumel as this looks nothing like I remember. I took a lovely walk right along the shoreline. Isn't Fanta orange the best...and what a wonder of a gesture...pay it forward for sure! Blow that horn and pull away!! Entitlement! lol
Oh wow - I wonder if it’s maybe just grown over time to look nothing like you remember? Amazing if so! Yes, I’m ‘Team Fanta’ all the way, haha! Thanks for watching!!
@@FraserAtSea Indeed, there are two distinct terminals. It seems that Carnival stops at one completely different. I was with MSC and we docked more north and were pretty well in the downtown area. A whole different experience.
@@wendingourway ahh, a few comments have said this now, so you must be right! Watch this space for Cozumel round 2 when I can get back with another cruise line, ha!
@@FraserAtSeahey Fraser, great video as always. I was confused also when I first saw this video. Initially I thought you had it confused with Costa Maya! I also visited Cozumel but on Celebrity Apex and where we docked was nothing like where you were. My ship docked in a downtown area full of shops, bars, restaurants, in fact I had the best prawn cocktail and margaritas in Cozumel. Please if you get a chance on another cruise visit Cozumel again, I really enjoyed the area I was in.
My understanding is the ship doesn't wait for late passengers unless they are on a cruise-sponsored tour. So, your complaint might be about the failure of your cruise line's tours.
Hi Frasier. Great vids btw, ploughing my way through. You have a very addictive way of presenting and inspiring me for my next cruise, hopefully a World Cruise taking my 3 Turkish friends. Looking for a good deal. Anyhoo... Cruise channels _never_ tell me if l can sit in the Sauna free - obviously, no treatments. I think we could use the Sauna free on Costa every day? That was years ago before covld. What was annoying is ships that made us pay eg MSC weren't charging the gymsters who popped in the Sauna after their workouts. Of course, the gym is free, so they assumed the Sauna was too but noone policed it. It just seemed unfair because l wasn't using the gym that we should be charged. So clarity would be a plus please if you / anyone knows the position. Very frustrating since l'm paying for 4. (Expat Brit, Kyrenia, North Cyprus.)
Hello! This is a good question, and something I can completely understand being annoyed by, especially if you’re paying for it! On MSC, you’ll find the sauna within the thermal suite, and the gym is usually elsewhere. In other words, you’ll need to pay to be in there. There are some ships with free saunas though - you just need to do your research to fine them…!!
Oh wow, sorry you're getting these comments. There are the touristy trap parts of mexico and that includes a lot of the immediate coastal areas- even if people travel to mexico to stay (i.e. not on a cruise ship), there are so many who stay at resorts etc. I'm cruising to cozumel in December and excited they added a ruins tour to the excursion list- I think once you are further inland, you get to actually experience the people and the culture and not the tourist trap-esque ports. The only other cruise I have been on was a school trip in 2008 (Carnival Ecstasy - RIP!) and we came to cozumel and as someone whose only other experience in Mexico was Juarez (inland) and Cabo San Lucas (resort), my impression of cozumel was fairly similar in the port area. All this to say, there is nothing inherently wrong with a tourist trap, it's just merely something to be aware of... Also I appreciate the ship spotting - how fun!
Wait, a SCHOOL TRIP on a cruise?! You were to my kind of school - wow! I agree - I bet connecting with the communities away from the ports would be amaaaaazing!
@@FraserAtSea 😂😂 I was in choir and we went on a choir trip where we sang on the ship! It was wild but I had a great time! I’m thankful for it, I don’t think I would have ever gotten to experience anything like it otherwise.
As with some of the tourons of London Horse Guards, some ppl think they're on vacation and can behave badly on purpose... rather than show some decorum...
You were never even close to downtown San Migel, that area is just a tourist trap area. Next time you come down, jump in a cab and come down to the Pub on 10th ave and meet some expats and see the real downtown.
You never made it to town? The other side of the island? No local catinas? Other cruise ship terminal is downtown. You only stayed in cruise ship rip off area. Some actual ruins called San Gervasio. Do you do any research of ports...buy a Lonely Planet Guide.
Ahh, the other port explains why so many hadn’t seen this area before - have you cruised to the other port? Thanks for watching - I do research, but didn’t do much for this port as was keen to showcase what was local to the cruise port!
Does no-one do diet Fanta / Sprite any more? My drink is Coke Zero but if l drink it at night l can't get to sleep. In London, you can even get _caffeine free_ Diet Coke! Retired expat North Cyprus. Kyrenia.
Fraser you are not qualified to judge. I am an American who lives in Cozumel and this is an amazing city. If you want to know a city you need to visit for more than a couple of hours 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Hi Deb, thanks for the message. I aim to show a place through the eyes of a cruiser visiting for a few hours. However, as I say in the video, I did really enjoy my time here - always good to explore somewhere new!
Anyone who travels on a cruise ship and calls it a vacation has issues. No surprise here. Mere hours per stop and the rest of the time is spent drinking and gambling and eating garbage from a buffet
A cruise is the definition of a vacation. No one is going to a cruise port like Cozumel for the cultural experience. If you don’t like cruising and and the massive commercialism that goes with it, do something else like like promote local businesses or something. I remember Cozumel before it became one giant cruise mall and I don’t much care for it now. So I don’t spend a cent in places like that. I love doing the pay it forward thing! 💖
