Kelp Forest – Riviera Maya & Bahamas

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from Galveston on March 17, 2026 visits Costa Maya and Cozumel and makes every day count. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Cozumel, Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 21 restaurants on Allure Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. Galveston itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
