Rapid Retreat – Cozumel & Riviera Maya

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Miami on July 6, 2026 for 5 nights visiting Cozumel and CocoCay. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. 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, Freedom Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami 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. You start in Miami and come back with stories from Mexico and Bahamas.
