Tropical Escape – Roatan & Cozumel

About this cruise

5 nights from Tampa, visiting Roatan Island and Cozumel. It sails April 17, 2027 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Rum punch at the beach bar, snorkelling off the dock, sunsets that are genuinely worth staring at. Cozumel alone is worth the trip, Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Carnival Paradise. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
