Gumbo Groove – Riviera Maya & Cozumel

About this cruise

Book 4 days off from April 22, 2027 and this cruise from New Orleans will do the rest, taking you to Cozumel and back. More sea than shore on this one, with 2 days on the water between stops. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Keep an eye out for Cozumel: Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. There are 12 restaurants on Carnival Valor, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. New Orleans itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 4 nights well spent.
