Cozumel is one of the most visited cruise destinations in the world. The island sits on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system on Earth, which is what keeps snorkelers and divers coming back. Away from the water there is the town of San Miguel, the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio, and white-sand beach clubs.
Cozumel in December offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 83°F and comfortable lows near 71°F. Expect around 6 rainy days, typically brief afternoon showers rather than all-day rain. Morning excursions are usually the safest bet. Cool and dry — peak cruise season
This is one of the most popular months to visit Cozumel, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
