Cruise Day 2: Cozumel, Mexico

Cozumel is the capital of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, about 50 miles south of Cancun and 10 miles off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. The island is 30 miles long and 9 miles wide with a population of 67.000. The Voyager docked at the international pier…






…which is 3 miles from the downtown and main shopping area, which we then walked to along the shore road. We collected some freebies (tote bag and Tanzanite studs) and purchased some gifts and t-shirts. At Diamonds International, Ellen designed her own engagement ring, choosing a diamond style and size, its setting, and ring, which they then built and we picked up 2 hours later…




Lunch was at Pancho’s Backyard, an outside location amidst tall green plantings serving wonderful Mexican cuisine (see Ellen’s blog for food photos) with a husband and wife marinba duet providing music.

  1. The ring is beautiful. I can hardly wait to see it in person.
