Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been cruising to the Caribbean since I was 5 years old starting with my very first voyage since then I've been on 20 other cruises

I'd love to return to explore the beaches try more local Cuisine and Hike L unique the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest system

I wasn't too sure what to expect of Rowan but fell in love with the area despite only having a few short hours in Port

I was particularly excited to venture into Mahal instead of being filled with basic all-inclusive packages at massive beach clubs and Resorts

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Mahahual in Costa Maya for a quaint town experience instead of all-inclusive resorts
Avoid itineraries that include Labadee if you prefer diverse activities
Choose cruise line private islands over Nassau for a guaranteed cheap beach day
