Cruise Planning Tips
- ✓Confirm which of the three piers — Punta Langosta, International Pier, or Puerta Maya — your ship uses, since operators stage pickups at specific gates.
- ✓Puerta Maya is farthest from downtown San Miguel; add 15–20 minutes each way for taxis if you dock there.
- ✓Target first-departure reef boats to Palancar when arrival is before 9:30 AM, especially on three- or four-ship days.
- ✓Only book a mainland Tulum combo when your departure allows seven to eight hours ashore including the Playa del Carmen ferry.
- ✓All three Cozumel piers are dockside — no tenders — but returning to the wrong pier after a reef trip is the most common cause of late returns.
