Three terminals split by cruise line: Punta Langosta, in downtown San Miguel, handles Disney, Norwegian and MSC; the International Pier and Puerta Maya, about five miles south and roughly 1,500 feet apart, handle Royal Caribbean/Celebrity and Carnival respectively.

Cozumel International Airport is about 2.3 miles from Punta Langosta and roughly 4 miles from the southern terminals; taxis are the main way to make the trip, since there's no direct public transit.

Which Cozumel pier your ship uses

Cozumel has three cruise piers, and which one you get depends mostly on your cruise line. Carnival's ships normally use Puerta Maya, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity normally use the International Pier, and Norwegian and MSC normally use Punta Langosta downtown.

Those are the usual assignments, not fixed rules. On busy days the port moves ships around, so check the pier name in your ship's daily planner the night before you arrive.

Getting from the piers to downtown San Miguel

Punta Langosta sits at the southern edge of downtown San Miguel, about a five-minute walk from the main square, the waterfront and most tour meeting points. It is the only pier from which you can comfortably walk into town.

The International Pier and Puerta Maya are about five miles south, roughly 1,500 feet apart. From there, taxis are the way into town, about a five-minute ride to the main square. Fares are fixed, posted at each pier and charged per car, not per person, so a group of four pays the same as one.

Ferries and beaches from Cozumel

The passenger ferries to Playa del Carmen on the mainland leave from the downtown pier by the main square, so passengers docked at Punta Langosta are closest. Allow for the crossing and the ferry timetable when planning around all-aboard time.

Beach clubs on the island's west coast, south of the cruise piers, are the most common way to spend a free day. They are a short taxi ride from the International Pier and Puerta Maya.
