Basalt & Brine – Cozumel & Costa Maya
About this cruise
Book 5 days off from November 22, 2026 and this cruise from Tampa will do the rest, taking you to Cozumel and Costa Maya and back. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. People come back from this cruise talking about Cozumel: Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Jewel Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Works well as a long weekend away, or a quick reset between bigger trips. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 2 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
