Flashing Fin – Cozumel & Costa Maya

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 5 nights from Tampa on July 31, 2027, visiting Costa Maya and Cozumel. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Clear water and warm sand at every stop. It's the Caribbean, so you probably already know what to expect. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Costa Maya, Mexico's quieter Caribbean escape among Mayan ruins. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Radiance Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. A strong pick for first-timers. Not too long, not too short, and you get a taste of the routine. If you can, add a night in Tampa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
