Tropical Escape – Costa Maya from Tampa

About this cruise

It's the kind of trip that's easy to say yes to. 4 nights from Tampa on March 23, 2028, visiting Costa Maya. 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, Radiance Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 10 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. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
