Sun-Bleached Pier – Mexico from Tampa

About this cruise

Book 5 days off from September 12, 2026 and this cruise from Tampa will do the rest, taking you to Costa Maya and Cozumel and back. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. Costa Maya stands out. It's Mexico's quieter Caribbean escape among Mayan ruins. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Radiance Of The Seas has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
