From another Board;
Costa Maya
At about 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, the eye of the storm made landfall near Majahual, one of the towns in the Costa Maya region, with maximum sustained winds of 165 m.p.h. and gusts of up to 200 m.p.h. The cruise pier is located only a few miles from Majahual, and the latest reports are that at least half of the dock -- custom built for cruising in 2001 -- has been destroyed. It's being reported that rebuilding will take at least six months. Waist-deep sea water is said to be covering most of the town, which also suffered significant damage to its buildings. No problems, however, has been reported of Mayan archaeological sites in the state of Quintana Roo -- one of the areas' big draws. Posters on the Cruise Critic boards are submitting their favorite pictures from Costa Maya and hoping that photos aren't all they have left. |
