Sundial Drift – Mexico from Tampa

About this cruise

5 nights, 2 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Tampa on April 19, 2027 and visits Cozumel and Costa Maya. Sea days bookend the port visits. You settle in, see the ports, then have time to wind down before heading home. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Jewel Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Good for anyone who can't take two weeks off but still wants the cruise experience. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Tampa 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. 5 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
