Weekend Escape – Belize & Cozumel

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 6 nights from Tampa on October 26, 2026, visiting Belize City, Roatan Island and Cozumel. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 3 countries (Belize, Honduras and Mexico) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Carnival Paradise. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 6-night sailing is a strong place to start.
