I saw this Donna, Thanks for posting it. That means that for at least for now, Conquest will be down to two ports. I finally got in touch with a e-mail friend in Coz and she said that if people are planning on coming to Coz in the next few weeks, they are crazy. The place is a mess, and even if cruise ships were off shore, there would be nothing to see. These people have been hit HARD.
It is being reported that Cozumel will re-open to cruiseships November 14th and passengers will probably be tendered in if the ship(s) cannot dock.Electricity has been restored to some p[ortions already and they are getting more and more areas up and running and the rebuilding is in full swing.

Yes, I'm sure they will continue to re-build as quickly as possible. They will need all the tourist dollars back. The time before last, when we were on Voyager of the seas, we had to tender into town, good thing about that, they brought you right into downtown, not the farther pier, so until the piers are repaired, that OK too, at least you can stop there shortly.
