Thank you for sharing. Yes! The Costa Maya Port is very nice, and there is so much to explore nearby, or within a short taxi or shuttle ride. Since there is so much new development going on in the area, you can get a more authentic cultural experience. In fact, the first time I visited, I liked Costa Maya more than Cozumel.

[@ringweed]

Hey guys, the suspended roped in walkway is an attraction. It is the aviary tour and it is pretty neat. $11 per person and you get to feed the birds as they swarm you. We loved it when we went there.

[@monakayk]

Jason you're good .... The Who sings 'Miles...Miles...& Miles'.Love your videos and your channel keep up the great work 👍

[@KathrynLQuinn]

Everyday I can hardly wait to check and see if you have a new NCL Breakaway video! My daughter and I are not going to miss a thing on our Breakaway cruise this summer because you have shown us exactly the best things to do!! Thank you SO much for sharing with us!!

[@KathrynLQuinn]

Oh my GOSH!!! Also, I am a Spanish teacher and knowing that I can get both Mayan calendar and Aztec calendar skulls WITH the info to put in my classroom is PRICELESS knowledge for me!! ¡Muchísimas gracias!

[@EECCTravels]

Yes! And be sure to negotiate the price, they will come down. We paid about half of what he was asking and our skull is beautiful. Have fun!!

[@KathrynLQuinn]

@@EECCTravels Did you have USA dollars or Mexican pesos? I know NCL will exchange money onboard for no fee, so I was wondering which you used.

[@EECCTravels]

USD. Every port I have been to accepts our money.

[@vickielynn222]

Thanks Alisa & Jason! We will be going to Costa Maya on RC Symphony of the Seas later this Spring. Yes it was the hubby's who wanted to go on a mega ship so we picked the newest. Anyhow, we have not been to Costa Maya and not interested in going on an excursion so it looks like the port is where to be!!! And the tacos look amazing!!! Thanks again for sharing your visit!!!

[@billygarner7362]

I am heading that way soon. I once once went from Cozumel to the mainland then boarded a bus to Tulume. It took all day and I totally missed out on seeing Cozumel. Lesson learned.

[@lkaybird13]

Great watching and getting a refreshers course! Lots of great info! Looking forward to seeing you both soon!

[@EECCTravels]

Can't wait!

[@wiztothenizzle6001]

I really like your videos! You two seem like a great couple! Please keep up the great videos!

[@christenholbrook7097]

I absolutely love you guys. I went on a cruise to the Bahamas over Christmas and it was all bc I started watching your videos.

[@lorrainejohannie3323]

So glad to check your video We are going on the Breakaway in April 2022

[@Sasha-eo6jz]

I’m sailing in July. Thanks for the videos-I’m even more excited. Good to know that there’s stuff to go at Costa Maya right at the port. I’m looking to relaxing, not breaking my back on a dune buggy, lol. As you said, to each his/her own.

[@imogeneweston6204]

Love Costa Maya.It's beautiful.

[@ArielBos]

Thanks for the amazing videos! I felt as though I was there with the waves crashing on the rocks. Absolutely beautiful!

[@lauradodd7627]

I will be there 4/9/19 via the Carnival Vista. We are going to exit the port and take a taxi to Mahahual to a beach club we have reservations at for the day. Love your videos! I’m a planner and don’t like surprises so it’s great to be able to see what things look like and get a lay of the land ahead of time. Thanks

[@tonyi8045]

I love to know in advance, too! Have a great time, and safe sailing!

[@Cruisetipshacks]

Great video! My wife and I just returned from Costa Maya and did a vlog on it! We are vlogging each day of the cruise. Thanks again for your video!

[@giselewilliams3507]

I just got back from my cruise. I was on the NCL Jade. Loved Belize, but Costa Maya was expensive. Yes, that pool was ice cold. Great spot for tanning.

[@EECCTravels]

Yes, the prices were higher than most of the other Caribbean ports. But they were will to work with us on price on some items.

[@obriancruiseandtravel857]

Wow its amazzzzzzing how much that port has grown since i was there in 2006!

[@LifeWithFavor]

We enjoyed the port area in Costa Maya. The next time we go we will have to find a nice beach. As always we enjoyed your video.

[@EECCTravels]

We are going next month and made a reservation at Tropicante on the beach. We are excited to go back!

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

It looks like a fun port.

[@blkdiamond6972]

I went to Costa Maya last November on the Dream. It was my very first cruise. I didnt see a lot of the places you showed in your video. Now I need to go back! I absolutely love your videos and energy. Thanks for sharing.

[@RETIREMAJORPAIN]

Excellent job buying the skull. Learned something from you guys. Thanks!

[@reneeoverbeck7866]

Now that's my idea of a perfect port day! 🌴☀️😁

[@teresah5318]

Yes it was The Who that sang I can see for miles and miles. Thanks for sharing!!

[@mckenziehancock]

i am going on the breakaway in november. i will be going to the same places as you guys as well !! so excited !

We are going november 10.

[@gents6379]

I really love your videos! Makes me want to book my next cruise! You guys are awesome.

[@amylloyd4614]

This port looks fantastic! Does Carnival dock where your videos taken? Love your videos so much fun

[@EECCTravels]

We absolutely loved this port! And yes, Carnival docks here too. We will be back in April on the Vista.

[@jaimetodd1864]

Those were the best tacos ever! We loved that place.

[@morganlooney4595]

Was looking forward to this vlog! We are going to be there in April on the Vista! Now I’m really excited for this cruise!!

[@nataliebarsky1969]

im addicted to your videos! you both are great , thank you, i sail on may 12th. hope your on that trip

[@nancyoppegard6665]

So great to see all the things I missed in Costa Maya...I had an excursion to some ruins which was excellent, but next time, I'm staying in port and enjoying the day just like you two did. Saw your link to the gentleman who told us what to do to help our KZbin favorites. It's everything we need to know to support you. I've been skipping ads forever, will not do that anymore. Also will do the other things he had hints about. Have to tell you that you two are my favorite travel video couple for places I want to go and foods I want to eat. I like some of the other travel couples, but only as an armchair traveler...don't want to travel to the ends of the earth and eat weird food and bugs. I'm 5 minutes from the Port of Mobile, so I can hop on Carnival at any time. Also, thanks for all your tips videos and the ones where you answer a list of questions...you guys are fun to watch.

[@SEXACJUN1]

Thanks for sharing. I'll be going back to the island next month 👍👍👍

[@travelingspanky6144]

What an awesome Port! I really enjoyed seeing this. You definitely negotiated a deal on that skull. Been watching your cruise videos all evening tonight! Now I got cruise fever lol.

[@EECCTravels]

Sounds like it's time to get you a cruise booked :)

[@kathleenduggan9955]

I saw some arguing flamingos when I went to Costa Maya

[@heathercronkhite4568]

Love the dolphins would just spend the afternoon there. It’s looks like a very cool port. When you were on the cruise we were on the Breeze in The Bahamas and such was so hot and humid most days were around 100 degrees or so. We usually pick the destination first then the ship but that’s cause to get to any ship we have to fly😊

[@shandaremines]

I would cruise for the same reason as Jason, the ship first port is just a bonus. We are going to be there summer 2020, we actually can't wait to see this port. But we really can't wait to cruise again!

[@stephaniem839]

You’ve made me want to go back!! Half the port had no power when I was there so there was hardly anything going on. It was pretty boring plus it was raining... thanks for changing my mind! P.S. That’s my taco dance too?! 🤣😂

[@Mark-hu1cb]

Happy taco 🌮 dance lol 😆

[@jocbutler]

They have changed this port up quite a bit. We were here last in 2009 and it looked nothing like this.

[@NotStrictlyDisney]

Wow, that is a really cool port!!!

[@tonyi8045]

My wife and I will be sure to visit Miles & Miles in October! We're taking a Halloween cruise out of Miami on the Breakaway. I can't wait!

[@tourbusGP53]

Nice port! I'll be there in December! Nice job! Cheers!

[@cruisingthroughlifewithalj5606]

Loved your video guys! Jeannie and I are going to be in Costa Maya the beginning of next month..Not soon enough lol

[@lacytesterman8869]

Mmmmmm Sol. A taste of Mexico, my personal favorite.

[@kjean86]

I do hope in the next vlog you found the entrance to and went through Aviarious (sp). So many Instagram shots up there.. plus just handling and feeding the birds. It was about 10 feet to your right when facing the flamingos.

[@EECCTravels]

We did not but I know for next time!

[@aimeerogers4542]

Really enjoyed this blog. Have you ever thought about taking a cruise to Cuba? I know Carnival does quite a few Cuba cruises.

[@EECCTravels]

YES! It is on our to-cruise list!!

[@Sky1]

Watching this from the NCL Getaway just passing Cuba!

[@Sky1]

Tomorrow at sea then Roatan, heading to Tabyana beach

[@EECCTravels]

Hope you had an amazing cruise!!

[@SpeedNoodles]

I can't wait to book a cruise that includes Puerto Costa Maya - I'm dying to do the Seven Colors Lagoon Tubing in the Bacalar Lagoon or spend the entire day at Maya Chan - plus this port area where you guys are looks like a lot of fun, too! Ugh - 4 cruises booked and not one of them goes here. Looks like I'll need to book another cruise!!!!!!! Thanks for another fun video.

[@EECCTravels]

This was our first time in all the cruises we have done and we loved it here! Will be back next month! Time to start shopping for cruise #5 :)

[@SpeedNoodles]

@@EECCTravels Already on it! Lol

[@jesscarey7418]

we love this little port. been there twice and going again in April on the Breakaway. Always find something unique to bring home. Amazing pics, which ship are you going on there in April?

[@EECCTravels]

We will be on the Carnival Vista in April

[@Christianrose1974]

I’m 70% port and 30% ship 🛳 this definitely a fun port!

[@willcooper6980]

Oh my gosh! When you said the vendors magically raised their prices when the Allure folks showed up, I was tripping out. Yet another reason why I can't ever go on a megaship. Wonder if they would've pulled the same stunt if the Allure showed up first.

[@EECCTravels]

I think it was more because there were three ships there. Three ships mean lots of people no matter their size. I figured there were 11-12k people in port that day!

[@shanematurin4853]

I want a bunch of them skulls to bring back fir my trip may 5 can’t wait

[@grandmajackie338]

we will be there from 1pm-10pm. what would you suggest to do?I would like to just hang around the port and then take a shuttle into town, have you taken the shuttle into town?? thanks in advance

[@kmak5345]

Hello Guys , as jay said it’s all about the Ship , ports that are heavy on the buy , buy hassle , we’re you go mister , Myself prefer to relax onboard and just soak up the port views from deck , did the travel all over Central America in my younger days , so don’t think am missing out to much by staying on board , as for price if your happy , did see a vlog about how a lot of so called arts and crafts are made in China to order and shipped over on mass , usually it’s the stores are run by one or two big families that have cornered the market , but I could be wrong on this , 🤨

[@robertbrownjr6532]

Does Carnival dock in the same place we will be there March 2021

[@aristotlen21]

Hey guys, I remember u mention in one of ur vlogs u r doing a cruise with Carnival in April and one of the destinations in Costa Maya. Which date? We might have booked the same cruise

[@EECCTravels]

We are sailing on the Carnival Vista on 4/13. Is that the one you are on?

[@thebliss3508]

Did you guys set sail Feb 24? We were in the carnival dream on that date and we went to Cozumel, Honduras and Belize!

[@EECCTravels]

No, we sailed on November 11th. Hope you had a fun cruise!

[@thebliss3508]

@@EECCTravels definately! We want to go again in 2021 for my graduation celebration

[@budtrimble5814]

I know a lot of people won’t like me for asking this . Your videos are great was wondering if you could point out smoking areas on some ships

[@EECCTravels]

There will almost always be one near lido deck's main pool, one at the back of the pool, one on Promenade outside and always int he casino. Hope this helps.

[@tod4865]

I'll be there first week of April on the Breeze. How did you start the pricing on the skull? 65 to 35 dollars is a good deal. I know you paid cash but that's 50 percent off

[@EECCTravels]

I have learned over the years of shopping in Mexico that you can usually get the item for about half of what they first tell you if you are paying with cash. Just be willing to walk away and they will almost always call you back.

[@lorenaparedes6963]

Entertaining and informative. Do the vendors accept US dollars or do you need pesos?

[@EECCTravels]

Yes they all accept USD

[@suzannefancher9195]

cool

[@andyanna690]

Post up 😂 💝

[@mikedurkin5888]

Another nice video!. We have been to Costa Maya twice before. Last year on the Escape was most recent. I did some research and found a highly rated beach bar/restaurant called Tropicante which did not disappoint. Fairly close to the Cruise ships. If your family takes the shuttle into town it will cost you more then if you go past the shuttle area to the taxi stand just outside. You should make a reservation first, if you want to go there. Prices reasonable and more authentic then Cruise port area. Check out their website if you'd like. Nice way to spend an afternoon... Friendly folks

[@EECCTravels]

Thank you very much for this recommendation! I looked into it and made a reservation for us for next month!!

[@sandrabentley1420]

Do you jut stay at the port? No excursion or taking a cab somewhere?

[@EECCTravels]

We just stayed at the port this time as we had to be back on the ship at 1:30.

[@BHeck24]

Does this port have zip lines?

[@stephanieroth5003]

I'm really enjoying your videos How much cash do you bring for shopping in ports?

[@EECCTravels]

We shop pretty light so never more than $100 per port, but usually spend less.

[@TheSeanBampton]

LOL @ $65 for the skulls. Typical Chinese tourist trap stuff you can buy on eBay for $15. The port does look really nice though.

[@tr852]

Is there an entryway to walk into the water? Do you have to eat at a restaurant to go into the beach/ocean?

[@EECCTravels]

No, you can not get into the water here, I think that is part of the reason they have the pool. An no, we sat of the beach for a long time and did not eat at the nearby restaurants.

[@queensavage_3725]

Was It 4 For $20 US Dollars?

[@dmaxwell10686]

Did u use usd cash while you were on your cruise?

[@EECCTravels]

Yes, you can use USD in all ports

[@trevorcawley7853]

Anyone know where to get a beer can like that??

[@EECCTravels]

Costa Maya was the first place I saw them...

[@jons43]

Going on the Breakaway in April???

[@EECCTravels]

No, we will be on the Carnival Vista in April

[@brendalee4672]

Beautiful port but the dolphin encounter ruins it for me. I don't like seeing dolphins being held for entertainment. It makes me sad. I much rather see them in the wild.
