What time zone is Cozumel in?

For your visit, use the local time shown by the page's America/Cancun clock. Confirm whether your cruise ship uses that same time before arranging an excursion or your return.

Do cruise ships follow Cozumel local time?

Not necessarily. A ship may keep a different ship time. Confirm the time on board and the boarding deadline, then compare them with local activity times.

How can I get to Chankanaab Park from my cruise ship?

You can take a taxi from your cruise terminal. Check the fare and journey with the taxi stand, and plan enough time for the return to your ship.

Is Chankanaab Park family-friendly?

There are different park and water activities to consider for a family visit. Review each activity's requirements and the needs of every member of your party.

Are there lower-priced alternatives to cruise-line excursions?

Compare the current totals for equivalent dates, party sizes and inclusions. A lower advertised starting price alone does not establish the final cost or the same services.

What is included in the Chankanaab all-inclusive shore excursion?

Read the current all-inclusive experience page for its park access, snorkeling, meal and drink inclusions. Confirm transport and any additional activities separately.

How much do I pay to reserve the tour?

The reservation process shows the amount due for your selected date and party. If a deposit is available, review that amount and the remaining balance before confirming.

What if my cruise arrives late?

Contact the team as soon as you know about a delay and provide your reservation reference. Any change or refund depends on the selected experience's terms and availability.

Can we customize the itinerary?

Ask about the options for your party before confirming. Custom arrangements, activity times and transport must be confirmed for the selected experience.
