Tropical Tryst – Cozumel & Riviera Maya
About this cruise
You board in New Orleans on November 13, 2027 for 6 nights visiting Cozumel and Costa Maya, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Cozumel stands out. It's Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 12 restaurants on Mariner Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 6 nights. New Orleans itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
