Port day questions
Is 3 hours enough in Cozumel?
3 nominal hours leave about 3h on the ground once disembark and the return margin come out. That is enough for a real day if you take it in the right order.
What can you see in 3 hours?
San Miguel Malecón fit comfortably. That maths counts the round trip from the ship, not just the visit.
What should you leave out?
With 3h usable, San Gervasio, Playa Palancar and Chankanaab Park does not fit without risking the return. Save it for a longer call.
What time should I head back to the ship?
Turn back by 11:20 AM at the latest. That already includes an hour of margin before all aboard.
