Golden Beaches – Cozumel & Belize

About this cruise

You sail from New Orleans on March 18, 2028 and spend 7 nights visiting Cozumel, Costa Maya and Belize City. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress 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, Mariner Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 4 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. New Orleans 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.
