Caribbean Escape – Belize, Cozumel & Coco Cay

About this cruise

This one leaves Miami on April 15, 2028 and spends 7 nights visiting Belize City, Costa Maya, Cozumel and CocoCay at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Belize, Mexico and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Independence Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
