YouTube Video Description

Welcome to Day 6 of my cruise on Norwegian Viva and today we’re in Costa Maya, Mexico. In this vlog, I’m taking you along for a real Costa Maya cruise port day — from getting off the ship for a quick walk around the port to heading back onboard for food, ship views, entertainment, and a full look at how the day played out. I’m also keeping it honest because if you know me, you already know Costa Maya is not one of my favorite ports. But whether you love it, hate it, or you’re visiting for the first time, this gives you a real look at what the day can actually feel like on a cruise stop here. In this video: arriving in Costa Maya and seeing what ships are in port a quick Costa Maya port walk getting back onboard Norwegian Viva food around the ship Deal or No Deal and the Icons show dinner, evening views, and a laid-back end to the day If you’re cruising to Costa Maya soon or sailing on Norwegian Viva, this vlog should help you see what a port day here can really look like. 👇 LINKS & EXTRAS 🔗 Linktree (all socials + contact + booking): https://linktr.ee/melaninpridetravels 📩 Email me: book@melanintravels.net 📝 General cruise booking inquiry form: https://form.jotform.com/252646321074150 🏈🚢 Super Bowl “Sail With Me” form: https://form.jotform.com/260587715619064 🎟️ Shore excursions (I may earn a small commission): https://www.viator.com/?pid=P00132926&uid=U00649713&mcid=58086&currency=USD 🏈🚢 SAIL WITH ME — 2028 SUPER BOWL GROUP CRUISE Carnival Breeze • Feb 12–19, 2028 • Galveston, TX Ports: Montego Bay • Grand Cayman • Cozumel Perks: Private Cocktail Party + $25 OBC + Sparkling Cider & Chocolates ✅ Join via the form above OR email me (subject: “Super Bowl Cruise 2028”) 00:00 Good morning from Costa Maya 00:58 My honest thoughts on Costa Maya 02:13 Heading off the ship 05:11 Costa Maya port entrance 06:00 Back onboard Norwegian Viva 09:07 Lunch options on the ship 13:00 Lunch at Surfside 16:00 Deal or No Deal 24:00 Lunch at The Local 30:00 Evening onboard 36:00 Icons show 37:00 Dinner search 46:00 Evening views near Cancun #NorwegianViva #CostaMaya #CruiseVlog Costa Maya cruise port, Costa Maya Mexico cruise, Costa Maya port day, Norwegian Viva Costa Maya, Norwegian Viva vlog, Costa Maya cruise vlog, what to do in Costa Maya, Costa Maya cruise stop, Norwegian Cruise Line Viva, cruise port vlog, Costa Maya walking tour, cruise day vlog, first time cruiser, cruise tips, Mexico cruise port
