Cozumel is one of my favorite ports. It has grown so much since I first started going there in the early 90's. It has great beaches, lots of different types of really good restaurants and the local people are very friendly. Once in a while, if our orchestra had the day off or a late rehearsal, I would rent a moped and go around the island.
While I was riding my moped I saw this guy selling fresh coconut juice on the side of the road. I couldn't resist so I pulled over and bought one. He was a very nice guy so I asked him If I could use his face in the photo so I could get the reflection of his glasses. He said, "no problem" so was I was able a self portrait. Haaaa!!!
If you go on a cruise, be sure to go on one that goes to Cozumel. You will love it. If you have lots of time, you can take a ferry to the main land and see some Mayan Ruins.
The Mayan Ruins of the Yucatan Peninsula are very nice. These lost cities hail back to as many as 2,000 years ago, when the Mayas were practicing such mathematical genius as astronomy and physics, long before the white man had figured out the secrets. Nobody knows what happened to the Mayas, but their legends - and their cities - live on to this day.
If you only have a little time go out to get some delicious Mexican food from the local restaurant. I usually eat at Ernesto's near the ship. It is nothing fancy but the view of the water is great, the food is delicious and the staff is very friendly.
