Marlin Dash – Cozumel & Riviera Maya

About this cruise

4 nights from Tampa, visiting Cozumel. It sails August 22, 2027 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." More sea than shore on this one, with 2 days on the water between stops. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. Cozumel alone is worth the trip, Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Carnival Paradise takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. A strong pick for first-timers. Not too long, not too short, and you get a taste of the routine. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
