Cruise Planning Tips
- ✓Ocean Cay days are ship-focused; plan independent Nassau or Cozumel tours on standard port calls only.
- ✓Seascape Western weeks: book Roatan and Cozumel reef boats before Texas or Miami embarkation.
- ✓MSC shore excursion bundles can be good value, but Yucatán independents often undercut reef pricing.
- ✓Do not over-stack Costa Maya ruin tours with distant second stops on shorter port calls.
