🚢 Costa Maya Cruise Port Day + Mason Jar Dinner on Wonder of the Seas! 🍹🎉 It’s Day 6 of our Royal Caribbean adventure onboard Wonder of the Seas, and today we make the most of a short stop in Costa Maya, Mexico—without ever leaving the port area! We grabbed poolside seats by 8:30 AM, ordered a tropical drink (yes—that’s your price of admission!), and soaked up the atmosphere of this vibrant cruise port village. From shopping and people-watching to sipping cocktails under palm trees, this is what a laid-back port day looks like. After a relaxing morning, we head back onboard for lunch before changing gears for a big evening: 🍗 Dinner at The Mason Jar – Royal Caribbean’s Southern-style specialty restaurant. We’ll show you what we ordered and give our honest rating. 🦸‍♂️ The Effectors II – A high-tech superhero show unlike anything we’ve seen at sea. 🪩 Disco Party on the Promenade – Lights, music, and dancing to close out a perfect day. Whether you’re planning a cruise stop in Costa Maya, curious about Wonder of the Seas dining, or just love a good party at sea—this episode has something for every cruiser. 🎥 NEXT EPISODE: Our final sea day! Melanie takes on the zipline, we go all-in on the Game of Thrones Trivia Championship, and we’ll show you exactly how self-assist debarkation works so you can disembark like a pro. 👇 Drop a comment if you’ve been to Costa Maya, tried the Mason Jar, or seen the Effectors show — we’d love to hear your thoughts! #WonderoftheSeas #CostaMaya #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseVlog #DocksideTravel #MasonJar #CruiseTips #EffectorsII #CruisePortDay #DiscoParty Please Note: While we share our opinions and personal experiences in this video, it is for your entertainment.
