cruisinmama Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 It was a very strong storm packing winds in excess of 140 mph. The island has suffered significant damage but cleanup is already underway and we are all trying to return to "normal" as soon as possible. Thankfully lives were not lost and everyone is pitching in to help their neighbor. I will be posting just some photos sometime this week in the News section of Insider ~ look there to see some of the damage. http://www.cozumelinsider.com Hope that was ok to Post...

cruisinmama Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I'm not sure on the Port being open or closed..That was from a lady who runs excursions and lives in Cozumel..... I'd maybe call the Cruiseline to see whats going on..but at least Cozumel isn't canceling things as far as she said... HTH :smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzila Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Where are the pictures posted on that website? I don't see it. And according to that website, it says Cozumel experienced 'minimal' damage, not significant. We're right behind you sunshineforblue...our cruise is scheduled to be there next weekend. Truthfully, I don't care if they have to change ports (although it doesn't sound like they will)...I'm just not excited about getting caught in any major weather.

cruisinmama Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Suzila Thats all I know as she posted on another board.. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineforblue Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I sure hope someone finds out something. I will call the cruise line on Saturday, since we are flying into Miami on Sunday and the cruise is on Monday. Hopefully on Saturday they will know more about this. Alot of people are saying to go to South beach when we get to Miami. We fly into Miami at noon and have that day to do what we want. Any suggestions? sunshineforblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzila Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Thanks for that site, Keith & Rita...I guess the hurricane damage is what they'll be showing us on our tour of Cozumel. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaCruzNut Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 If you're looking for black coral jewelry, check out Roberto's Black Coral Jewelry, on 5 Avenue South. He does beautiful work and his prices are ridiculously low. Pieces that are similar to his, in Grand Cayman, are $200-$300. He gets $50-$60 for pieces that are similar, but nicer! I couldn't find Roberto's site, but check out: http://www.dutyfreemalls.com/Mexico/Cozume...Coral%20Studio/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
