What are you going to do jump ship and swwim back? or would you have to wait til you got to a port then get a flight back more than likely several flights, including any travel time to the airport and then having to wait for the flight and then any layovers and then a taxi ride to your destination you could in fact just finish your cruise and be home quicker or about the same time. so what will a cell phone do besides ruin a good vacation? not alot Apparently you have never been involved in a situation where your input was essential. Or had anyone you cared about. Yes, if we had found out that one of our mothers were dying, we would have interrupted the trip and flown back. well lets look at that. Lets say that you are on a 7 day cruise and you have three days left on your cruise and your next port is cozumel. also lets say that you are not a regular cruiser and you dont have a passport. ok so you get a call that your mother has died or is about to pass. as soon as you get to port you go to the airport and book a flight to mexico city in order to get a flight back to your home city. so after waiting several hours to get to mexico city your cruise ship has already left. So after waiting for several hours to find a flight that goes to your city or near your city but since it is noit a major city you will have lets say two other stops so your flight will take an additional day to get all the way from mexico to your home city. ok you finally arrive at your home city at about the same time the boat reaches its home port. However because you did nopt have a passport you are heald up at the airport until you are able to contact someone to get you a temporary passport That is if you are even allowed to get on the plane which in most cases you will not until you contact the us embassy in mexico city which is where you will have to stay until you can get a temporary passport which will take days. meanwhile the ship you were on has docked and every passanger is now home. and yout mother has died and had the funeral all the while you are in mexico city for another week waiting for a passport If you go on a cruise you should have a passport whether you are a regular cruiser or not. There are a bunch of reasons why you might have to or want to cut short your cruise and fly back. It could be your own medical emergency. So if you are a savvy person you have a passport. Then you can fly from Cozumel to the US without an issue if there is any type of emergency. Also a savvy person would be able to book a flight that gets back the same day or the next day if space was available. You can fly from Cozumel to the US. No need to fly thru Mexico City. The savvy person has a phone to call airlines, or internet device to book flights, or a concierge service from their travel insurance, or concierge service with their credit card, so they don't leave the cruise unless suitable travel arrangements are made. 9:00p CZM Cozumel 8:41a ATL Atlanta 9h 41m, 1 stop YYZ Arrives next day $1,771.64 roundtrip per person Delta 5481 operated by EXPRESSJET DBA DELTA CONNECTION Show Flight Details Select 9:00p CZM Cozumel 9:39a ATL Atlanta 10h 39m, 1 stop YYZ Arrives next day $1,771.64 roundtrip per person Delta 5045 operated by EXPRESSJET DBA DELTA CONNECTION Show Flight Details Leave Sat, Mar 22 4:00 PM Cozumel CZM 10:00 AM Atlanta ATL 1 stop 16hr 0min American Airlines 359 / 296 Seat map This is an overnight flight, which will arrive one (1) day later.
