The 2.4 million cruise passengers who visit Cozumel every year pull up to one of three docks around tourist hub San Miguel. No longer the appealing if gritty Mexican outpost it was just a decade ago, this island port is packed with six to 10 ships on most winter days. Passengers shuffle between suburban mall-style shops and hit the beer joints, unless they’re heading for the island’s beaches or the Mayan ruins on the mainland.
