Difficult to predict but that isn’t one of the months I would normally consider to be low. Recent reports suggest there is a lot out in the Atlantic and forecast this could be another bad year when it comes ashore but that remains to be seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they were new they didn’t really have a reliable transport system in place. More recently we have had bad port hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a girls' cruise Sept 2024 and I'm the planner so this is where we're going 😬 Does anyone know, if you book VIP, can you still grab a lounger on the beach if you want, or are those reserved for other bookings? And does anyone know how the seaweed is in Sept? I seem to recall there are typically better months than others. We have VIP booked for our trip in 2 weeks, so I'll report back about the loungers on the beach too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does anyone know how the seaweed is in Sept? I seem to recall there are typically better months than others. I think they are reserved for guests. But ask when you get there if they can set a chair up for you on the beach. We were there in October 2022 and January 2024. No sargassum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jean87510 Posted January 30 #32 Share Posted January 30 Also, it is about 0.7 miles from ship to pickup. If you have wifi and WhatsApp, text them that you are leaving the ship. It took us 15 minutes but we walk fast. Go out of the port area/madhouse right near the flamingos and through the gelato ice cream place. Keep following exit signs. You do not need a cab if you are a walker. They did offer massages $60 I believe which has to be paid in cash as does the tip. Double check though. We are going here every time we return to Costa Maya. No vendors = heaven! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all gym-rats so I have no qualms with a little speed walking 😬 Did they give you a map of where to go or just the instructions above? We dock at 12:30 (womp womppp) so I'm realizing between the walk and the ride we probably won't get there until 1:30pm (ship doesn't leave until 7pm though so it'll just be a later beach day). Thanks for the tip about the tip, I'll be sure to bring enough cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also really good with responses especially with WhatsApp. When we were there on the 1st, they did have a group coming at 1pm so they are used to crazy port times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare astridwilson Posted August 1 #38 Share Posted August 1 Thanks for this detailed review. There are 6 of us. 4 adults, 1 teenager and 1 child. Do we book VIP? Cost is $600 for 6 and that includes $300 food credit. With really only 4 adults can we use the $300 food credit. Should we go a la carte or Beach and Jungle for $450 with a $200 food credit?
