[@amberthurston5867]

We might need a Paradise Beach vs Mr. Sancho’s from y’all! Just for a little compare and contrast :)

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

Good morning, with my cup of coffee in hand, watching you to start my morning right, 🥰

[@lindab8563]

Love the socks, Jay! 🧦😊

[@heideleskun1163]

Talk about working in Paradise. NICE!!!!

[@margaret6527]

"We are not right, we're just goofballs" and that is why we love you guys!!!! Paradise Beach looks fabulous. Can't wait to try those nachos myself. You guys are trendsetters - Palmar is a Mexican startup that just introduced their first Palmar Spritz in September 2020. Thanks for another great vlog!

[@mariannereeves949]

We are going on our first Caribbean cruise in April and I was looking for something in Cozumel so showed my hubby a few ideas and watched a few KZbin videos. He watched your first visit to paradise beach and decided that was where we should go, watched this one and booked it 🥰 he doesn’t watch you tube cruise stuff (unlike me) but thought you guys were great ❤️

[@brittanydavis7011]

paradise beach looks beautiful glad yall had fun! you are right one is a scarlet macaw and the other with the green on its wing is a green wing macaw... im a bird fanatic lol

[@shareea202]

Cruising RC Adventure of the Seas, early January. Thanks for the recommendation of this beach club! Pool, beach AND food and beverage…….I’m sold❣️

[@riversong6681]

Paradise beach is actually Paradise! We were there two days ago and it was an amazing day!

[@jackiebyers3424]

We were just there from Odyssey of the Seas this week also! Loved it.

[@mmadventures9641]

We booked Paradise beach on a whim last week for our upcoming Mardi Gras New years cruise. Looks like we are going to have a blast. Happy sailing

[@pamelawiggins9131]

Wow this is the best of Cozumel that I've seen in a cruise vlog.❣️😍

[@thelaceyknight]

Wow you guys make me want to try Paradise Beach Club! Seems so quiet & so relaxing!!! Definitely have that on my next visit to Cozumel! Thanks Jay & Dee for sharing!

[@joyce52]

Me again. I finished watching this video and see that you finally found the rooftop terrace I mentioned before. I love it up there and when it is not so cool and breezy a great place to lounge. I spent my time up there when I got sick on my last cruise and bundled up in two of their fleece blankets that they stack for you and I watched the movie "Bohemian Rapsody". I had never seen it and was amazed at the story. It was well done though.

[@nancydavis4635]

Military macaws. My brother trains them and other exotic birds, too.

[@vanessabullock36]

I am so lovin you guys! My next cruise is Mardi Gras and I already scheduled Paradise Beach!

[@angelmusic22]

Definitely going to Paradise Beach Club next time we cruise to Cozumel! Thanks for the recommendation.

[@eleanor4482]

So happy you are enjoying the Summit. Love that ship and you made me feel like I was home again as I know every nook and cranny. Paradise Beach Club is awesome but sadly I have never had a good beach day in Cozumel. Either too much seaweed or jelly fish. Thanks for sharing.😎

[@usagiwasabi]

Thank you for sharing Paradise Beach! I'm booking them for February. We've never been a fan of loud party type places, so Mr. Sanchos has never been appealing to us. We loved Nachi Cocum but want to explore more of the island. Can't wait to see what this beach is like in person!

[@deborahsmith5658]

those nachos look amazing that was a very wise decision

[@leolataylor5767]

Once again,an amazing pool and see day. Lots of good food. Love the socks Jay. Topped off the day with a movie! Nice!

[@michelleb749]

I love trying local cuisine on a cruise even though there is included cruise food. The nachos looked delicious. Question- Since you enjoyed this cruise, do you think you might take another Celebrity cruise in the future?

[@parodeejay]

Yes indeed, we’ve got one more booked already and are trying to sneak in one more for 2022!! :P

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

We LOVE Paradise Beach, Mr Sanchos and Chakanaab. So many wonderful places in Cozumel! How did the coconut shrimp compare with Mr Sanchos’ coconut shrimp? How interesting to see Penelope’s boyfriend Palmer there 😄🦩

[@lisawright5674]

I tried Paradise Beach Club on your recommendation on my last cruise (Nov 28 - Dec 4 on Carnival Dream). I absolutely loved it!!! The food was really good, drinks plentiful, and excellent service. So glad I saw it on your vlog. Will absolutely go again! I am also a huge fan of the tacos and the coconut shrimp.

[@susielandry7988]

We love Paradise Beach! It’s our favorite too. Amazing food, amazing service, beautiful beach what’s not to like. We went before the pandemic so it was busier than the day you went but our server never missed a beat! The seaweed was bad when we went but they had someone raking the beach constantly to keep it clean.

[@mpoole3]

Having spent the last 10 trips at Nachi Cocom, makes me want to explore Paradise Beach!

[@mommunson]

Love that you blog your time. I don't miss a video

[@genep7344]

It look like you had fun in Conzumel! I was getting thirsty and hungry watching you guys 🤣

[@Christine-qc5dk]

I loved this video we are going in the fall and we did not know what to book. This video made our decision so easy. Was the day bed extra or part of the all inclusive price. Thank you for all hard work you do so we can see exactly what to expect. Love all the videos. Christine 🇨🇦❤️

[@lindab8563]

The day bed is extra!

[@michelealkins616]

Thanks for the great videos! So relaxing to watch and so informative! Really helped me pick an excursion for Cozumel!

[@barbarap5278]

Love it! Looks like you guys are the only one's at Paradise... I was just there too, Carnival Vista on the 2nd, just missed you... I really enjoyed Paradise Club, especially at the end of the pier, just jump in & swim, lots of fish...

[@LisasCruiseAdventures]

New Years Eve at PBC sailing on your fav ship the Pride. Cannot wait. Thanks for recommending something else as an option in Cozumel. We got the 50% off deal!

[@smileycindymarie]

We, along with our friends, are going to Paradise Beach in January based on your recommendation last time you went!!!

[@gileckert696]

We rented a jeep and had a great time cruising the island and stopping everywhere...yall should try it sometime

[@Knowfere]

Ok.. I'm headed back to Cozumel in Feb and wanted to try Paradise Beach after 3 times at Sanchos.. But both times y'all gave been there, it looks dead.. Might have to do Sancho's again! You guys are awesome tho

[@Pantherjonvideos]

WOOT! First one here...LOL...Going to give Paradise Beach Club a shot when we go in Jan on Mardi Gras...Looks like a LOT of fun! What protocols for unvax young ones(under 5)?

[@katd6580]

Dinner??? I laughed thinking after everything you tried at Paradise Beach?? That will be us (3 couples) thanks to you guys for the recommendation. Hopefully by mid January we still will be able to venture off on our own and go to Paradise Beach.

[@timcahill2951]

Hi guys! I'm so excited to be going to Paradise Beach Club in two weeks! Because of your vlog about it, I decided to book it while sailing there on the Celebrity Summit. One question - how did you pay for the taxi? Do they accept US$ or do you need to exchange money first?

[@parodeejay]

Awesome! The taxis gladly take USD... no need to exchange!! :D

[@efrengamez6309]

The last time we went there they served the 32 oz Dos Equis beers on the inclusive. We had a crazy day.

[@jptraveladventures]

those nachos look awesome

[@catherineb6561]

What is hard seltzer? Those drinks looked delicious 🤗

[@parodeejay]

It's sort of been a crazy around the US the past few years. White Claw springs to mind as one of the more popular versions, though lots of folks make them now because they became "trendy", hah... it's basically like having sparking flavored water that's alcoholic. :P

[@barbarashuster9029]

Your own private resort!

[@paulaworkman2578]

Enjoy seeing your socks.. How many pair do you have and where in the world do you store them?

[@clett4p116]

Hi! On Your excursion trip to Paradise Beach in Cozumel, was ALL Your food and drinks included?

[@parodeejay]

Yes indeed!! :D

[@Cloud7Travel]

Looks like you almost had the whole Paradise Beach all to yourself. I guess they cater primarily to cruisers. ⛱

[@brianadykes3409]

Have you all tried Mr. Sanchos in Cozumel? It's our favorite!

[@parodeejay]

We have, quite a few times. That’s our go-to party spot but we’ve come to prefer Paradise Beach when we’re in a calmer mood, ha ha!! :P

[@ItsBT7]

Hey!! I really enjoy you guys after a long day my family watches your cruising adventures 😊 but I wanted to know Dee where do you get your bathing suits?

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much! Mostly Old Navy with a little Forever 21 and Shein thrown in, ha ha... but the high-waisted bottoms are actually in our Amazon shop!! :D

[@evelynwalden3449]

I know that you were here months ago but I have been looking at everyone's blogs looking for Chichen Itza Ruins,have you been there? We haven't seen any as of yet.

[@parodeejay]

We haven’t! We visited Altun Ha in Belize and Mayapan in Progreso, but I think those are the only ruins for us so far. The ride to Chichen Itza always seems so long that we haven’t wanted to do it yet, hah…

[@evelynwalden3449]

@ParoDeeJay Thank you for your help. My husband wants to see them but we also feel it's a long trip.

[@joyce52]

I have seen you guys before at this place, but I have to ask why there are no other people? You guys must be early risers. I have not ever been to Cozumel but if I ever were on a cruise that went there. I have only taken one beach excursion while cruising and let me tell you, I will never do that again. It was in St. Lucia they took us through the city and we went into a very old church then on to the beach. This was done in a little train thing that was made with wooden seats and the city was not made of smooth streets. Beach was long and narrow and the sand was sort of dirty looking, You could not relax on a lounge because someone was always bothering you to sell you drinks, a lady selling her handmade jewelry, and other not-so-fun things. I could not wait to get back on the ship. I suffered back pain for several days after the bumpy train ride and people were actually yelling at the driver to slow down that they were hurting. If you ever go there on a cruise, make sure you check out the Beach excursions thoroughly.

[@3purplegirl]

When I'm in Cozumel in March, I'll be booking Paradise beach! It looks so quiet and relaxing. I love quiet and being relaxed! Is there a shop nearby that I can purchase vanilla flavor?

[@simplyatsea6779]

Can you do a Mr. Sanchos/Nachi Cocom/Paradise Beach comparison

[@parodeejay]

I don’t know that we’ll do a video comparing, but our basic take is: Sancho’s if you’re in a group and looking to party; Paradise if you’re looking for a more chill atmosphere focused on pool time; Nachi for a chill day as well with a slightly better beach, and a swim up pool bar and connected hot tub. :D

[@simplyatsea6779]

@@parodeejay awesome thanks!

[@jas22980]

Did I miss the socks?

[@parodeejay]

Apparently so. They’re there!! :P

[@joek7974]

Were there 2 formal nights on this cruise? I'm booked for a 4 night in March and trying to figure out when I should book Le Petite Chef. Seems like the Lobster tails were served on day 4, but formal night was on day 2 for this sailing. Any help is appreciated!

[@jg248]

Do you tip every time you are served? We were planing on Mr. Sanchos in February but now this looks like an awesome choice.

[@parodeejay]

We usually tip at the end of the day.

[@TheTravelLifeMama]

Dee where did you get your bathing suit??? I really like it

[@rachelhope2338]

Which would you recommend for a first timer, Mr Sancho's or Paradise Beach?

[@parodeejay]

Depends on what you're after for your day. Sancho's is party vibe with a better beach. Paradise Beach is more mellow and relaxed with a better pool. Food is great at both. Drinks are better at Paradise Beach. Service is great at both. :D

[@kerireinninger8114]

Did it cost extra for the big lounger bed? Or were they included First Come with the All Inclusive?

[@parodeejay]

First come, first served, from what we could tell. No extra cost!! :D

[@lindab8563]

Day beds are $50 for the day!

[@charleshargett1402]

Do you know if any of the ports in the Caribbean have clothing optional beaches?

[@lacyd570]

After seeing this I’m debating on canceling our excursion we have in Cozumel. We leave Jan 9th on the Glory but I’m a tad scared as rumor has it., if you don’t have a Carnival sponsored excursion you can’t get off the ship at the ports.

[@tiffanyhenderson1794]

That rule only applies if you are unvaccinated

[@xykathy]

What do you guys do with your stuff when you are in the water?

[@parodeejay]

We have a combo lock travel safe, the same one that's in our Amazon shop, that can be secured to a chair, tree, anything solid. Fits in a backpack and works nicely for us. Some folks have mentioned other safe-type devices that work well for them too, like the SafeGo or the KYSS bag which we haven't tried.

[@mandmgirl7227]

Do you book this resort on your own or through the cruise ship?

[@parodeejay]

It’s independent, not through the cruise line.

[@shoptease]

Is the food included with the price of entry.

[@parodeejay]

It is indeed, if you do the $60-ish all-inclusive day pass. You can go a la carte and pay as you go as well, but we’ve enjoyed the all-inclusive option both times!! :D

[@jptraveladventures]

is paradice beach comparable in price to mr sanchos? did dee get a new hat?

It’s about the same cost, yep! She got the hat last time we came to Paradise Beach!! :P

I want U to go back when there R 4/5/6 full capacity ships in port and see if U feel the same🙄

[@staceye8211]

Do they still allow you to pay a la carte for food & drinks?

[@parodeejay]

They do indeed! You don’t have to get the all-inclusive package.

[@robynhodgson1066]

So do you guys tip at the end of the day or every time your waiter brings you something? What would be a normal amount? I don't usually carry a lot of cash but figure we should tip something

@15:09 The birds speak Spanish 🙄 lol

[@danielmccray7013]

Is the pool heated at Paradise Beach?

[@parodeejay]

I believe it’s advertised that it can be heated but it may not have been cold enough the times we’ve visited.

[@MaryAnn-is8ku]

Our Celebrity Cruise is all inclusive, was your cruise not all inclusive? We are supposed to get drinks, gratuities and wifi. I’m confused.

[@patti1044]

They were on an independent beach day while in port.

[@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay]

I was in a travel agent special sailing so no it was not all inclusive for us. Typically yes it is if you purchase it that way called all in. When we cruise Celebrity again it will be with all the perks as it will not be a travel agent training cruise.
