Costa Maya, Mexico - a photo on Flickriver

Costa Maya, Mexico

            Taken from the water taxi, as we had to be tendered into Costa Maya, Mexico. The pier was damaged a week earlier by a tanker ship.  We were the very first cruise ship to stop at this new location, and the Mexican Tourist Board was very nervous about that.  Everything went perfect for them, and us.  The captain of the Enchantment couldn't drop anchor as we were there, because there's only 300' of chain and the channel we were in was well over 500' deep.  He kept the engines and thrusters running the whole day to keep the ship in the same position so the water taxis could transport passengers from the ship to the pier.  Because of that, they burned extra fuel, and had to drift from Costa Maya to Cozumel.  The engines were shut down between 12:00 midnight & 06:00am, and we still pulled into Cozumel @ the 07:00am scheduled time.
