Cozumel is looking forward to a busy couple of weeks for Easter, including 7 cruise ships with a capacity of over 22,000 passengers expected in port on Good Friday alone.

The island is traditionally a popular destination at this time of year, for both cruise passengers and guests in hotels and vacation rentals.

In our latest article about successful expat businesses on the island we speak with Emily Egge, the "Cozumel Chef".

If you've dreamed about combining a love of travel with a love of food then meeting Emily might make you a teensy bit jealous.

28 and originally from Kalamazoo in Michigan, Emily was first captivated by Cozumel when she visited on a cruise in 2009 and came back a few months later to see more and try the island's wonderful diving opportunities.

If you're visiting Cozumel between March 10 and April 6, 2013, watch out for an extra one hour time difference between Mexico and the United States and Canada.

This happens because the United States and Canada change to Daylight Savings Time before Mexico and is especially important for cruise passengers, as some ships stay on the time of their United States homeport, even when they arrive to Cozumel.

Last week saw a massive seafront finale to Cozumel Carnival for 2013.

Thousands of enthusiastic tourists and locals were out on "Fat Tuesday" to dance in the streets and watch the colorful, musical parade.

The Carnival 2013 King and Queen, danced non-stop on their float, waving to the crowds that lined the island's seafront road downtown.
