We been taking the ferry for several years between Playa Del Carmen and Cozumel. Each year, they make improvements. The port in Cozumel is clean, they check your luggage and the ferries all seem to be well-maintained. More

The ferry is efficient, clean and perfectly fine. BUT. . .unless you want to get wet, do not sit outside near the perimeter! We were "splashed" by two waves that went went right over our heads.

Relaxing trip. Ferry was on time and the view of the Caribbean verses Cozumel or Playa Carmen was exquisite. No discount for purchasing a round trip ticket. More
