Coastal Bliss – Cozumel & Riviera Maya

About this cruise

5 nights, 2 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Port Canaveral on April 7, 2027 and visits Costa Maya and Cozumel. Sea days bookend the port visits. You settle in, see the ports, then have time to wind down before heading home. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Explorer Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 2 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. Port Canaveral 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. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
