Creator's Key Takeaways

It is day three of the cruise from Galveistston on the Norwegian Viva and I'm loving it so far and there are seven days.

The tour today was really fun. We took the ferry which was 45 minutes.

My one gripe with the tour is that we had way too much free time, which is nice, you know, but when it's so hot and such a long day anyway, it's, you know, it could have just been cut a little bit.

I did enjoy it. I did enjoy it a lot. I'm glad I did it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set an alarm to ensure you don't sleep past departure times, especially when tired.
Bring comfortable walking shoes for excursions involving extensive walking.
Consider bringing a portable fan or cooling towel for hot weather tours.

YouTube Video Description

Day 3 on my 7-day Norwegian Viva cruise started early in Cozumel for a Tulum Mayan Ruins and Playa del Carmen excursion on just two hours of sleep. I grabbed coffee, met the group, took a 45-minute ferry to the mainland, then rode about 50 minutes to the Tulum archaeological site for a guided overview and free time to explore, film, and take photos—until the heat wore me out. I ate chicken tacos before heading back for a short stop in Playa del Carmen, then returned by ferry to the ship. Back onboard, I did a solo meetup with salsa dancing, enjoyed dinner with other solo travelers, and ended the night with extra buffet desserts before deciding to skip the 80s party and rest.
