Our Day Took An Unexpected Turn Onboard Virgin Voyages: Costa Maya Mexico & Scarlet Night!

[@KylePalIo]

Comments are a little bugged today, if you see this make a separate comment to see if it's working again. Thanks, enjoy the video

[@wanderingwithjohnandsharon5007]

We were on the Carnival Jubilee and docked there, along with two other big ships. The place was packed. The vendors were pushier than usual. We were told that the use of the loungers around the pool required that you spend $17.50 per chair on drinks and/or food. That's not too bad, but the loungers and food an on the Jubilee were free and not as crowded on port day. Next time we dock there and we're the only ship in port, I'll stay longer and take advantage of the pool.

[@Gmariex0726]

Makes me so sad for the dolphins being trapped in that small box to swim in when the ocean is right behind them which is their home so mean.

[@paolaashe2474]

Me too💔

[@Kayw434]

Makes me sad too. Couldn’t watch that part.

[@michellemcmullin2292]

Yeah. It was awful. And he kept saying how cool it was =(

[@sethschroeder]

@@michellemcmullin2292 the issue is it is cool its just mean to the dolphins. Hopefully he sees the comment though and thinks a little more on the dolphins themselves and realizes the issue.

[@breebrat56]

Totally agree 😡

[@angelahendrix107]

I love seeing you guys together 😂❤ So glad you did this cruise together ❤️ 💕 💗

[@bradcolby3624]

We went on Celebrity in 2010 shortly after a Hurricane and there was literally nothing. Went again in 2017 on the Harmony and everything was completely packed and built out. When larger ships are in you can not move in that shopping area. There are shops further out if you take the tram and nice beaches

[@davidmercier1564]

You lucked out at that port! We stopped there on one of or Royal Caribbean cruises and it was extremely crowded. There were multiple ships at the port on the day we went. I agree that it is a nice port. You were able to enjoy it way more though because your ship was the only one there that day.

[@paprikashaker]

Yeah I went there on NCL Breakaway in 2018. It was really crowded and hard to enjoy, but fortunately I did a mud spa excursion which made up for it.

[@Ragluvvulgar]

This lil dance in the mirror with the shirt tucked in has me screaming 😭😭😭

[@cassandrahitt8530]

I would love to see this port. That free pool gets way crazy during spring break and or when other ships are in port also. Lots of ships have issues docking due to the waves and it’s way to hard to tender. Really great port you don’t even have to leave the area

[@meatiethatsme2471]

Kyle did the iguana get you?😂😂😂😂 that scream was so funny. These vlogs are fun.

[@jesssul148]

Hey Kyle. I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope all is well. Thank you so much for such informative videos on the Virgin Voyage. I like that you actually walk around and show us different things to do at each port and the food! I am a big foodie so I love seeing the different restaurants onboard. I noticed some comments on here are kinda rude. I don’t understand why. You seem very down to earth and honest since I have found your channel recently. Thank you!

[@meganwhitscell3810]

I love the look of Costa Maya but did not enjoy my time there simply because of how packed it was. Your video is amazing because of how empty the port is but when we went it was so incredibly packed that it was impossible to walk around. And there was no breeze so it felt scorching hot and humid plus all of the hot sweaty bodies of everyone it was miserable. It looks like so much fun when you’re not having to squeeze past a ton of people!

[@patriciasalinas7308]

Kyle, the big pole you asked are the “Voladores de Papantla” “The Papantla Flyers “ I is a Mexican tradition to represent the year. 4 flyers come down flying, around the sun to represent a complete year. Each one of the flyers is a season of the year. You have to see them.

[@tracy367]

I really enjoyed watching this video. I cruise a lot, but never on Virgin, now I am SO pumped for my May 28, 2025 cruise next year with my sister! And you guys are just the cutest to watch, LOL!

[@kaylajenai7]

The pole at 8:21 is for the Papantla flying men’s pre-historic rain ceremony. I got to see it when I was in Costa Maya, pretty cool.

[@iconikastrange1421]

“Brother, it’s fashion” I felt that 😂

[@BradRobertson98]

The walkways above are part of the Aviary experience. We did that last October-- great birds and views!

[@LisaJW]

The dolphin thing is very sad and very wrong

[@breebrat56]

Totally agree 😡

[@burghstrong6878]

Yes, I would never participate in that.

[@elenadelligatti]

A BAND CONCERT followed by the “what instrument do you play though” I cannot 😂😂

[@dellamccullough1237]

Was just in Costa Maya a couple of weeks ago on liberty of seas! There was another royal ship in port with us. The port is fabulous and its free except for the dolphin experience and the birds exhibit. The port was more lively than what you are showing. We had a blast. Can’t wait to go back there soon…

[@sethschroeder]

Dolphins in a cage are cringe.

[@tracy367]

We loved the one in Cozumel. The dolphins had a huge area in the ocean to swim when they weren't doing the sessions with tourists. They seemed extremely happy and healthy. Much better than the crap in Costa Maya.

[@breebrat56]

Totally agree 😡

[@daniellerichard]

We stopped at Costa Maya on our NCL break-away cruise last year. We actually did the dolphin encounter with our kiddos in that very lagoon you filmed! All these cruise videos are making me want to book another cruise!

[@Lovelorie12]

I loved Costa Maya! The Mayan ruins were so awesome to see

[@serafinlopez2290]

Great video guys

[@AshliGoodspeed07]

Costa Maya has the most beautiful water!!

[@zellasimmons9627]

You keep saying “it’s so themed” as in it’s a Mexican port built in Mexico with a Mexican theme 😂 and it was built just as a port it wasn’t a city so it should be a nice port.

[@elmenomaronido6653]

Costa Maya is a nice port when your ship is the only one ! cruise on the MSC Meraviglia last year and we were 3 big ships that day , no fun too crowded .

[@allaboardblakestrainsandmore]

That port is beautiful! Between the pool, beach, shops and other activities, you really wouldn't have to leave to have a great time.

[@divalayden8073]

Agree !!!!👍

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

It would be great if this ship got to dock at Dublin port because then you would get to see Irish hospitality and possibly have a pint of Guinness 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪😍

[@cronksadventures4849]

I was on the wonder of the sea a couple weeks ago and that was one of our stops

[@Steven-zf7yp]

Great Daily Dose KP & Jojo! That port looks beautiful!

[@dreamsfoodtravel9865]

We’ve been there with Royal Caribbean, the port was so crowded that it was literally standing room only … the over crowding made it the worst port day ever.

[@Kayw434]

You guys are hilarious!! Love this series!!!❤ We were in Costa Maya a few weeks ago with RCCL and did a tubing excursion in Bacalar! You and Jojo would love it! Next time!!

[@mi9982]

They can handle big cruise ships in Costa Maya. We were on Harmony of the Seas and it was one of our ports. It’s a nicely done port area! Grab a marg!!!

[@mikeem21]

Happy birthday Jojo and today is actually the 30th at the time of watchin this!!

[@sophie6823]

The sunset is so beautiful 🌅

[@karenradach7551]

You said no stair challenge again. You should just call it the all stair challenge instead

[@michaelash3132]

new to the channel, i usually sail Royal bc of my kids but i think you've convinced me to get a babysitter and try virgin lol

[@RysoxBattleon]

Makes me feel a little weird getting your passport stamped at a diamond store. Any unofficial stamps in your passport can cause issues and even cause your passport to be invalid. The state department even puts out warnings about getting novelty or souvenir stamps.....

[@kristin_cool6537]

that is so good to know, I honestly had no clue either!

[@isaiahbaggett5014]

"I have a mom but now I have a new virgin mom...0_o" - JoJo

[@jessicawhiteman185]

I went to that port back in march on Wonder of the Seas. It was a nice port.

[@cristiangonzales2907]

JoJo took the elevator 😂 you should scold him lol

[@AshliGoodspeed07]

Carnival Jubilee and Icon do go there. I went there on the Jubilee in January

[@Hittingthegrease]

Loved costa maya...also loved Puerto Rico and Los Olas Jamaica

[@GangaKris]

Again happy birthday JoJo! Mine is May 31, so definitely loving all this! Especially loving watching both of you doing this a day apart. One of the things I love about KZbin is being able to see the same experience from different people's perspectives. Doubly so if multiple people are hanging out together and filming at the same exact time. It shows the diversity of the human experience.

[@kimjones7174]

After five days you guys will need a vacation after this vacation 😂😊cool shopping area ! You're having beautiful weather too! The port is awesome ❤Happy Birthday Jo Jo 🎉🥳🎈🧁 he has the tuck and the open shirt 😂😊 Scarlett Night is giving me night club vibes for me way back in the day !!! 😂 You guys did a lot today !! Fun times enjoy 😊

[@seankaleo]

Chug a lug gentlemen! LOL

[@larryleqend]

Dolphins should be in a way bigger space sad af

[@gustavosuarez3096]

You have to take Cassie with you next time you go on Virgin. She will love it😊

[@troycoxson90]

That port is beautiful but that walk back to the ship seems like forever to walk lol like lets gooo lol love yall ❤❤❤

[@serafinlopez2290]

Great video with Jojo and you so handsome

[@GuidoHODL]

After that cruise you’re gonna need rehab. Lol

[@jbaber4434]

Costa Maya all the way

[@voyagecruisetravel]

Don’t forget Casey should have made it for four don’t have too much fun without her she’s a keeper

[@HuntyTravels]

Epic thumnail

[@tammymunzert7434]

Costa Maya is a nice port but when there is 4-5 ships there it is packed. I think their items are expensive to buy.

[@dawndawny4962]

It's so lovely that jojo called Kyle his best friend....the 2 of them cruising are the very best vlogs😊

[@susankellygordon3110]

I am up for a no stair challenge 😂

[@marymahar8446]

Stairs down, elevators up for me. And all trolley rides!!

[@winenot1]

It never looked crowded anywhere.

[@sharonluck5012]

You should swim with dolphins I don't swim or go in water but you would love it my brother did

[@evieelliott9063]

On that large pole in the front they do an aerial show. It’s amazing. If you ever go back make sure you catch it.

[@michelle80811]

No, I’ve been to Costa Maya on Oasis class ships, and going there on the Icon in July.

[@Eric-zo3mo]

Kyle, Maya Chan Resort is there all inclusive.

[@nathaniallangston9605]

You messed up your passport. That stamp is a souvenir stamp. Not an official country stamp. You’re gonna have an issue reentering the US. Do NOT get your passport stamped at a Diamond International. Your TA should have told you this.

[@WOWitsANT]

He’s been back in the U.S. for a few days now.

[@peaceful525]

He's already back.

[@nathaniallangston9605]

If he hasn’t had issues yet he might in the future. A souvenir stamp is NOT a valid entry stamp and should NOT be in a passport. It technically can invalidate the passport.

[@jaredpermenter9750]

this is not true, they don't consider souvenir stamps defacing a passport so you wont have an issue, like 80% of stamps in the Caribbean are not official stamps. Add into that, ive never had anyone look through my stamps when entering any country, the look at the photo portion and thats it.

[@nathaniallangston9605]

Ok. Please check page 5 of your US passport.

[@nicoleashley8235]

This was a fun one! Jojo has some great footage of you on his vlog as well 😂

[@Carsondreed7]

Icon does go to this port BTW

[@suziequeue2]

Not a fan of virgin but like longer cruises. Your iPhone is better than your camera 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Seasonal_Homes_Splendor]

You are right Kyle you don’t need alcohol to have a good time you can still have good time without having alcohol

[@KylePalIo]

Facts 🎉

[@dean4793]

I went to Costa Maya on Symphony in 2020 and there was about 4 ships docked so it was PACKED. Couldn't move. Looks like a nice port when it's quiet.

[@cyurkovich6899]

I wish JoJo would stop trying to pressure you to drink. He says that he isn’t and then turns arould and says you should because it’s his birthday.

[@christopherberube5878]

Puerto plata Taino bay is similar to this. Has a pool and a huge lazy river with lots of shopping and tons of restaurants.

[@AnthonyHologounis96]

I can’t wait to go on my cruise on the Norwegian Joy from New York. It’s sailing from July 7-14th ☀️🤩😎

[@MarshaWatkins-p5x]

Royal does go to this port! We were just there with Harmony! You have to see the performers on that huge pole you pointed out! The men climb up there and spin tied by their ankle by ropes which they tie themselves and there are no safety harness.

[@andrew117_]

Great massages at that place and yes amazing prices.

[@ChadillacGaming86]

Love your videos. Found your channel by searching cruise videos because I'm hopeful going on my first cruise next year with my gf and her family. Can't wait!!

[@juliekm6495]

Glad you had so much fun! The port is really neat! Get some rest! Looking forward to more vlogs!😊

[@joannegriffin8434]

I went on the MSC SeaShore 2 weeks ago. Before I went on the ship, I was questioning if I would like it. I had gone on MSC once before, and I wasn't crazy about it. I loved the Seashore. ( My favorite cruise line is Royal) We went to Taino Bay in the Dominican Republic. It was similar to Costa Maya. Taino Bay was gorgeous. You would love it. It's newer than Costa Maya. Pools are included. So many ports are turning into this where pools and beaches are right there.

[@billyurkovich2095]

You get lots of views because we enjoy watching you and casey and family grow together …. Looking to the future and not stuck in the past

[@nickbowers2787]

The Giant pole you showed in Costa Maya is part of a show they put on, they climb it and swing on it. Definitely worth watching if you are there during it. Not sure the schedule they do it but it’s very cool to watch

[@marymahar8446]

Looks like a Great cruise and port to take sisters and girlfriends. Trystan, Alexa, Casey and Krista would be a Blast! Skip gambling. It's sad. 😢

[@billyurkovich2095]

Kyle … glad you stood your ground about drinking …. No-one should be pressured into drinking … bad message to send to young people …..

[@LoriKrazy61]

🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣love that video can’t wait for the future cruise we will see

[@mateusoliveiramm]

This dolphin prison is criminal, don't support it

[@cgavin40]

This is a beautiful port wow!

[@PassBoys724]

I have been to Costa Maya on one of my cruises on a Norwegian cruise the Norwegian Prima. I really miss it.

[@sconniekush6585]

Will you be making another Wisconsin dells video? They just opened the tallest slide in America. Would love another video as I am from Wisconsin and am going in a month

[@pauline9242]

Costa Maya looks like a great port, versatile, organized & beautiful, enjoy!

[@dalesmith924]

Hi Kyle -- I know I'm going to get hammered for this, but you spend way, way, way too much time talking about the stairs challenge.

[@oztmom64]

Forget jojo tucking his shirt in, how about buttoning the shirt up! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@JackieN-zd5it]

Went to costa maya in 2022 on RC Oasis of the Sea. Cool port for sure!

[@johnbrum9361]

another enjoyable vlog. Thanks for what you do

[@ShawnG-kv2xm]

Good to see Costa Maya vlogs. Evening watches of the cruise vlogs are a great stress reliever from hard days at work.

[@davidsarafian9786]

Good news.....Just to let you know Icon is about to dock in Costa Maya now ...she stops here every other week on western Caribbean itinerary..... looks a fantastic port,stay well!

[@janburkett2708]

Larger ships go there. We went last year on Mardi Gras.

[@rosar1771]

Yep, I was on a large Royal ship and we went last July

[@divalayden8073]

OMGOOODNESS gracious!!!! This is the best port I’ve ever seen!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@yes-b9d]

Have you never been to perfect Day at Coco Cay?

[@BrianBozard-tf6kh]

We've been tp Costa Maya a few times. It's always windy and and big waves, that's why people call it costa maybe.

[@jo1956]

I like that port!

[@billyurkovich2095]

Iphones make more sense and easier to handle …. And i think they make better/in focus videos

[@michellebuble9887]

Jimmy buffet new ship will be going there...just fyi

[@merry524]

We visited Costa Maya in October 2021 on the Disney Fantasy just after the restart. We did a Mayan Ruins excursion that we booked through the ship and when we returned back to the port before we could shop we had to first return to the ship and check-in (due to all the COVID protocols they had in place at the time) and then we could go back out and explore. Unfortunately a thunder storm came in so we decided to just stay on the ship. There didn't appear to be much open then anyway unfortunately. We are looking forward to going back to Costa Maya soon. Due to the history and the Mayan Ruins it was definitely one of our favorite ports too! Thank you for taking us around and showing all there is to do!
