Spanish Moss to Sand – Riviera Maya & Merida

About this cruise

It's the kind of trip that's easy to say yes to. 4 nights from Galveston on March 26, 2026, visiting Cozumel. The sea days add up to 2, but that's when you find the spa, catch the shows, or just read by the pool. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. As for the ship itself, Mariner Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 4 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. Galveston has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Galveston and come back with stories from Cozumel.
