Starlit Spray – Cozumel & Stirrup Cay

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. 5 nights from Galveston on August 22, 2026, visiting Costa Maya and Cozumel. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. Costa Maya alone is worth the trip, Mexico's quieter Caribbean escape among Mayan ruins. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Mariner Of The Seas has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
