Mariner’s Ledger – Costa Maya & Roatan

About this cruise

You board in Galveston on July 19, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Costa Maya, Roatan Island and Cozumel, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 3 port calls start. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. People come back from this cruise talking about Costa Maya: Mexico's quieter Caribbean escape among Mayan ruins. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Seascape has 8 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 3 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
