Our final port, and seeing MANY other cruise ships we decided to skip our planned trip to a “private island” (which clearly will be very crowded); here’s some of the ships already in port at sunrise. Cozumel, unlike yesterday, is a more typical cruise port – full of hotels, jewelry stores and other tourist trappings; we’ll stay on the ship instead:
A much bigger Norwegian Cruises ship now joins us, the Epic; it’s taller, longer and carries 4,100 guests, compared to the 1,936 of our Sun … It gets quite close (even closer than this)! From the port you get a good idea of the size difference (we did go ashore for a short while, just to confirm that we didn’t need to go ashore!):
In the evening we went to our only onboard show, a surprisingly entertaining rock music tribute that ended with some of the crew up onstage:
