Those are local (cozumel side runs sales more often) and randomly promotional fares. Sometimes requiring local ID, sometimes not. Sometimes requiring a friend to buy them for you. I only have a couple barcos caribe left. Handful of ultramar at 100 pesos round trip too, bought just before Christmas. Ultramar has been picky about direction of travel on their tickets. So I won't be buying more of them. Had used Mexico waterjet for 100 pesos too...
Turns out that extra 10 pesos should have gone to explosion insurance.
Live and learn.

Other than infrequent rate increases, I havet experienced that. But I show my INE (MX voter registration/official MX ID) and get local rates anyway
WOW - that's crazy - makes sense for you to buy them when price is low -
Specualtion may be wrong but it's so much fun! And it isn't picking on Mexico because it's done any time there is a big event like this anywhere in the world.
I also find the apparent blast origin to be inconsistent with an engine room explosion. Where are the pics of the engine room? It should be destroyed and blackened. Could there be exhaust or ventilation pipes running inside the side walls of ship and the weak point was where we saw the flash? The origin appears to be by the wall as no seats were blown out.
Damage appears minor. All the broken glass and pieces of flimsy aluminum siding make it look bad but what significant structural damage is there?
Tourists will NOT stop coming because there was an explosion on a ferry.
Tourists WILL stop coming if they believe the government is whitewashing it and not conducting a legitimate investigation.
Tourists WILL stop coming if they believe it was a deliberate act and the government is too weak or corrupt to do anything to prevent it from happening again.
