๐ธ Costa Maya Cruise Port | Mexico
๐ My Story
Costa Maya was one of the most vibrant and lively cruise ports we visited on this Royal Caribbean adventure. The port itself felt like a mini-resort โ complete with a swimming pool, beach club vibes, shops, restaurants, and even a dolphin habitat you can watch right from the pier. Whether you were grabbing souvenirs, lounging by the pool, or just soaking in the music and energy, it was an easy and fun port day that didnโt require leaving the dock!
