Lapis Basin – Riviera Maya & Bahamas

About this cruise

Book 5 days off from September 19, 2026 and this cruise from Galveston will do the rest, taking you to Costa Maya and Cozumel and back. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Clear water and warm sand at every stop. It's the Caribbean, so you probably already know what to expect. Cozumel stands out. It's Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Mariner Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Galveston before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
