Passengers aboard Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas were also warned against shore excursions in Mexico
"On March 1, unexploded ordnance were found by Mexican authorities on a tourist ferry that operates between Cozumel and Playa del Carmen", the embassy said on its website. He said a company diver reported the object, and Mexican navy divers removed it and handed it over to the Defense Department for analysis.
The explosion sent a fireball and smoke flying from the ferry, which was docked in the beach resort of Playa del Carmen on February 21st.
The U.S. government has also warned Americans about two dozen cases of apparently tainted alcohol at popular Mexican resorts. Authorities had initially suggested it could have been a mechanical malfunction.
A blast last month on a tourist ferry in the Mexican beach resort of Playa del Carmen was caused by "an explosive device" that injured passengers, including US tourists, the USA embassy in Mexico said on Thursday.
In January, the U.S. State Department had warned of the escalating violence, listing parts of Mexico under its new Level 4 category - a risk level assigned to the most risky places on Earth, including Iraq and Syria.

In light of the back-to-back incidents in Mexico, the U.S. Embassy has forbid all U.S. government officials from traveling via the tourist ferries, and has urged travelers in that area to stay aware of their surroundings, exercise caution and purchase travel insurance that specifically covers trips to Mexico, including medical evacuation.
Photos of the device published in local media showed what appeared to be a length of PVC pipe attached to the underside of a boat.
"I would say the effect on the tourist population is an undesired collateral effect of something that probably has some other motive", federal Interior Secretary Alfonso Navarrete was quoted as saying by the AP.
Except for isolated shootings past year, the Caribbean coast had largely been spared the violence plaguing other parts of Mexico.
