I’ve been on that or a boat from that line. The day we took the trip to the mainland, we wouldn’t have known that a bomb had gone off. It was so rough that day, the attendants were handing out vomit bags as you boarded the boat. No one in our group needed them but we were a decided minority.

Playa del Carmen and Cozumel are far from s...holes. The city of Playa del Carmen is safe and clean and many, many expats live there. A boat like that would have been filled with American and European tourists who are likely severely injured. Why is FR so full of people who can’t resist the first nasty thought that comes to their mind?

Ban ferries. No one “needs” a ferry ride!

Same thing happened in January 2017. Poor maintenance or safety checks by the crew. Thankfully, there were no passengers onboard.

Cancun, Q.R. – An Ultramar ferry passenger ship that crosses the sea from Cancun to Isla Mujeres caught fire on Wednesday, reducing the upper portion of the water vessel to complete ashes.

Don’t pay the ferryman, until he gets you to the other side.
