No Quick Rebound for Storm-Wrecked Costa Maya
It'll take a full year to rebuild the docks at Costa Maya -- twice as long as initially estimated.
Officials at the popular port along the Yucatan Peninsula, which received a direct hit from Hurricane Dean last month, now say it won't reopen until September, 2008. And even then only two of the three berths for cruise ships will be back. Work on the third berth will drag into 2009. Reconstruction begins next Monday.
Cruise lines are replacing port calls at Costa Maya for the next year with stops in Progreso, Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; Cozumel and even Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
