Hey folks, just joined today and grateful for a place to get my many questions answered. I'm surprising hubby with our first cruise on Father's Day and as I look at cruises, I'm learning I don't know what I'm doing! I have a travel agent friend booking it for me (agents don't charge money for booking cruises, right?) and my sister is answering a lot of questions, too. We'll be doing a low budget 4 night Carnival cruise but can't decide between porting in Nassau or Cozumel. Which would you prefer and why?
Any other handy tips you have for me would be great, too!
I also have to second Cozumel over Nassau. There are far more things to do in Cozumel. The snorkeling on Palancar or Columbia reefs is great. There is excellent shopping and it is fun to tour the island.
I'll take Cozumel every time over Nassau.
Take care,
Mike

I like both, but would probably opt for spending the day at Atlantis in Nassau, going through "The Dig",and the Aquarium, then shopping on Front Street.
Cozumel is great for water related sports, jeep touring and it has good shopping as well'
Figure out what Dad would like and go from there....btw..feel free to ask a zillion questions,and we all will jump in with opinions and advice

Cozumel is the better choice. Ive bben to Nassau 2 time and Cozumel 6 soon to be 7 and hands down Cozumel has more to offer. Good choice
