Today we’re in Costa Maya, Mexico during our 5-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas! For this exciting port day, we booked the Bike & Clear Kayak Adventure excursion through Royal Caribbean; featuring a scenic bike ride to Mahahual and kayaking in crystal-clear waters. But with rough weather rolling in, will our kayaking adventure be canceled? Join us to find out! This was also our first-ever excursion in Costa Maya, and it made for an unforgettable day. After our excursion, we head back to Mariner of the Seas to enjoy even more fun: “Ice Under the Big Top” – the thrilling ice-skating show Love & Marriage Game Show – one of our favorites Caribbean Night festivities – featuring the Caribbean-themed menu in the Main Dining Room! There’s so much to see, eat, and experience on this cruise; and we’re already excited to come back to Costa Maya on a future sailing! #MarineroftheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseVacation #CostaMaya #cruiseship #TravelCouple #CruiseTips #RoyalCaribbeanInternational #cruisetravel #cruiseexperience Watch our full Mariner of the Seas adventure in our playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2EHNggtb_rBp3-zruJlG_xGAAxVf7HtI&si=jyLz7ZcRKgA04TTW Planning your Royal Caribbean cruise?

This cruise went to Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico. We booked this cruise on the Marriott Convoy Cruise with Points website and we had a Ocean View Stateroom on Deck 2.
