I have been to Cozumel a couple times on cruises and beach, snorkel scuba and swim times ate the best things to do there. I took a tour of the island once and frankly I didn't see anything I would recommend you go see. I understand that there are some Mayan ruins there but the best tours for seeing Mayan ruins are those that go to the main land and go to Chichen Itza or Xcarat.

Are you taking the Conquest of the Ecstasy? I took the Conquest two years ago and had a fabulous time. If you want to go to the beach you can do the catamaran trip which will enable all in your party to enjoy as you will be able to snorkel and they will be able to party on the beach. Xcaret and Chankanaab Park are also great but they More of a tour than just a do what you want kind of thing.

while you are in Cozumel, there is alot to do. There are also free beaches you can go to. Carlos and Charlies is now open on the beach, you can snorkel right off the beach. There is alot to do for everyone there. Chairs etc. I would try this beach. Just get a cab and tell him you want to go there. They will take you there it is around 12.00 for four people.

I went on that cruise last year. We did a volcano drive, and you can rent a car and drive around this huge volcano. We also went on serveral fishing trips, which was really tiring. Yeh, Parasailing is the BEST!!! Theres this other thing, and i cant remember what its called. You have a huge helment over your head and shoulders, and your lowered into a tank that has tons of fish and beautiful coral and plants. although it is in water its not exactly swimming. you more like walk on the bottom of the ocean.

We have taken 4 cruises from Galveston to Cozumel, before the hurricane messed it up a few years ago. Not sure its condition at this time, you might want to call the excursions desk on the ship to find that out.
When we were there we went to this cute beach that had a small zoo, shops, pool, water toys and canoe's, snack bar, etc. The snorkeling was great, we saw turtles, all kinds of colorful fish, stingrays and a barracuda! They have sunken some stone carvings from local ruins underwater for you to snorkel around- a nice touch.
On the beach area, they have girls that do massages right out in the open for cheap!
At the bar, they served unlimited sodas, and the water toys were free- (first come first served). I don't remember if they offered para-sailing there or not, but just check on that.
I am pretty sure the place was called Playa del Sol, or something like that. It was very inexpensive at that time, and we had to pay cash for our own cab ride. Watch out for those cabbies!! They like to speed and follow too closely...
