Obsidian Blade – Yucatan & Riviera Maya

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 4 nights from Galveston on September 10, 2026, visiting Cozumel. With 2 sea days versus 1 in port, the ocean is a big part of this trip. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Don't rush through Cozumel, which is known as Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. There are 12 restaurants on Mariner Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. Galveston itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 1 ports across 4 nights covers a lot.
