Creator's Key Takeaways

we absolutely love it this place also sells food just remember it is cash only

the East End of the island is gorgeous way better than the West End of the island

I've had a really good time I would recommend this I think this was a much better option than a short Excursion

the lobster was excellent it was very tender very buttery and overall very good

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the ship's time and compare it to the port time before getting off the ship.
Bring cash everywhere you go when driving around Cozumel.

YouTube Video Description

It's day 6 of our Carnival Jubilee cruise and our last port stop is Cozumel, Mexico! In this video, we discuss our day exploring Puerta Maya and our on our own excursion where we rent a car and do a tour of the Island that took us to the East Coast of Cozumel and our Favorite Mojito Factory! We rented a car in Cozumel from a kiosk in the Mayan Plaza across the street from Puerta Maya, the port that Carnival uses in Cozumel. With this car we drove across the island to the East Coast where some of the best beaches and least amount of crowds are on Cozumel. We also give some On Your Own excursion tips to help make your day in Cozumel better! Back on the ship it's Lobster Night! It's a busy day in the Main Dining Room but we still review the Lobster night experience and talk about how good the food is. After that we see the Rio Carnival show in the Center Stage venue on decks 6, 7, and 8. It's day 6 on Carnival Jubilee which means this cruise is almost over so come check out everything we've done! There was so much to see and do on our port day in Costa Maya! We'll be back for more in a couple months on another cruise ship! #CarnivalJubilee #Carnivalcruiseline #Cruise #Cruisevacation #Cruisetravel #Travelcouple #cruiseship #cozumel #carnivalcruise #Travel #Vacation #excursion #cruisetips #cruiseline #mexico We took a 7-night cruise aboard Carnival Cruise line's Carnival Jubilee in January of 2025. This cruise went to Mahogany Bay, Costa Maya, Cozumel, and included 3 days at Sea. We booked this cruise on the Marriott Bonvoy website and we had a Cove Balcony stateroom on deck 5. We had an amazing time on this cruise and during this trip and we are going to share each part of it on this channel. Look out for future videos over the next several weeks.
