Royal Caribbean Cruises has officially taken administrative control of the Port of Grand Costa Maya, also known as Mahahual.  The Cruise Line will being remodeling the area into Royal Caribbean’s “Perfect Day Mexico.”

 

The end goal positions “Perfect Day Mexico” as one of the company’s global flagship destinations.

 

The project was officially announced on 11 July by the Director of Project Innovation for Royal Caribbean.

 

The port will not close during the two year remodelation, and during this period will accept cruise ships from all lines, not only Royal Caribbean ships.

 

The financial agreement, which was finalized in June, purchases the port and 34 surrounding properties for $292 million USD.  Royal Caribbean is planning on investing an additional $600 million USD, or a total of $821.3 million.

Included in the plans are a water park, a shopping center, beach clubs, pools, hotels and other attractions.   This is the first project of this kind in all of Mexico.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
