Prism Waters – Cozumel & Costa Maya

About this cruise

You leave Tampa on July 12, 2027 and come back 5 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Costa Maya and Cozumel. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Radiance Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 10 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you're new to cruising, this length is ideal. Long enough to relax, short enough to not over-commit. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Tampa has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 5-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
