Isn't it crazy that even with the water conditions it's still SO worth it? I said the same thing when I reviewed Maya Chan...there's just something special about it! Glad you enjoyed!
Hey Sheri-Yeah, I have to agree with you on Mexico; as much as we're looking forward to the Southern Caribbean in a little over a year, we do miss Costa Maya and Cozumel. There is definitely an energy or vibe that runs through that entire region. We need to go back! Thanks for another awesome video and have a blast on Princess (watching this video as you guys sail over Turkey Day). Cheers!
Wow Maya Chan is on the list for our next trip to costa maya! Costa maya had the most BEAUTIFUL water I’d ever seen while we were there so i hope for the local people and ecosystems sake there it clears up! Still looks beautiful there regardless
Our Allure cruise this October just got re-routed to Costa Maya and I knew (thanks to this review) that Maya Chan is where we needed to go.. reservation request submitted!
So glad the Sargassum wasn't as bad when you were there. In May it was piled high on the beach, we didn't go anywhere near the, just had drinks at the pool !
Thank you! I am so ready for our trip next week. This helps the time fo by in a fun way. Loved the Maya Chan views and so want the Maya Chan Ice Tea. The aqua show...wow!!!! Thanks again for sharing your vacation with us.
After I watched this vlog I told my friend about Maya Chan and we just booked it for our Carnival Cruise for next September! I’m so excited!! Thanks for doing something so fun so that we can experience too!!!
Maya Chan looks like a great place!! Costa Maya was one of our very first ports we ever stopped at, I thimk was in 2005 if I remember correctly? Looks way different now compared to back then. Ohhhh loved watching clips of the aqua show! Brings back memories of being on Symphony & watching Hiro, their aqua show, the talent of those performers is amazing!!! Can’t wait to see your Cozumel vlog! We’ll be there in a month:) Still no plans but can’t wait for sunshine & tropical instead of cold & snow lol!
Ok, now I want to go on the Harmony. 3 words....ICE SKATING RINK!! Bucket list item of mine :) I live in the arena in the winter here in British Columbia
My mom and I did a snorkel trip at Costa Maya. They didn't give us instructions on how to get out of the developed part. It was hard! LOL. Some beach clubs have seaweed fences which really help
we were there the next week- our fourth trip there...if they would only improve the road...David said they were trying to get some help to fix the condition of the road. No matter, it's worth the trip.
I am going on my honeymoon on February 2nd on Harmony and I have been LOVING your videos! Any tips on how to make a honeymoon special would be amazing ❤️ I hope my future family is as beautiful as yours!
That's it!!! You have totally sold me on Maya Chan. December 2021... Can't wait. I do have one question for you... Can we leave the resort at anytime to head back to the ship or it destinated departure times?
Hey Robert, NO, it's not. Unfortunately, the seaweed issue was in full swing while we were there. Reach out to them and they will be honest with you about how bad it is before you book. Happy cruising!
@@CruiseTipsTV thanks for the fast reply. I did try to reserve a spot but they were booked. I will be on the MSC Meraviglia sailing 10/23. Your review was awesome.
Looks wonderful! So I am guessing this was an excursion with the ship and everything was included in your price? You might have already said this. It did not look very busy there at all. The ship sounds fantastic - will have to check it out.
Hi there! My sister and I will be first-time cruisers this February on Royal Caribbean's Adventures of the Sea! Maya Chan look incredible! As a first-time cruiser, I'm anxious about excursions that are not organized by the cruise line. Was transportation to and from Maya Chan safe? Would you recommend this excursion for first-time cruisers? Also, your videos are incredible!! :)
Hey Ashley it’s wonderful to hear from you. Yes I will consider this a very safe and comfortable excursion as long as you have plenty of hours in Port that day. Have a wonderful cruise and stay in touch
That's a bit tight because it's a drive to Maya Chan. You may want to see what time Maya Chan opens that day. If they open before 10am, maybe, if not, I'd do something else.
I was with you up until the point of seeing the color of that water. The water in the Caribbean is suppose to be blue, preferably turquoise. Not brown! yuck!
Love this place so much. Can't wait to go back in March!
These are some of your BEST cruise vlogs! Loving it. I feel like I’m on vacation with you guys. Makes me SO EXCITED for my 2021 Caribbean cruise!!!
Thank you so much. I hope that you have a wonderful time on your Caribbean cruise🏝
Loved this VLOG!!! Your son & hubby skipping and kicking up their heels was so funny. Super cute!!! I made note of Maya Chan. 🥰
Thank you so much. I thought that was cute too
My sister and I were just there. It’s heaven!!! We can’t wait to go back.
That food, scallops,short rib, Chateaubriand with bearnaise, the martini !
Yes! All of it!
Too funny on the water slide. Maya Chan seems charming. Thanks for sharing👍
Isn't it crazy that even with the water conditions it's still SO worth it? I said the same thing when I reviewed Maya Chan...there's just something special about it! Glad you enjoyed!
Yes, you said it perfectly.
I knew you would love Maya Chan! So glad you got to experience the magic!
Oh! I got married there! It was amazing ❤ there was not a pool when I was there, it must be newish. The food was great, the seagrass not so much
How wonderful to be married there! So cool!
This might be my favorite vlog so far!!! I might have to try this ship, looks like SO much fun!
Thank u Melana!
We were at Maya Chan 3 years ago with 3 other couples ; had the BEST time ever... all the drinks and food you could hold.! It was fabulous!!

We were at Maya Chan last year! So peaceful and relaxing! Definitely will visit again!
Another great vlog! We call the Windjammer the Food Jammer because you go and jam food there!! 😀
Haha!
Reminds me of my place I had south of Playa del Carmen. Palapa roof homes. White sand. How Devine.
Hi have not been there in years. Now I want to go back! The massage sounds wonderful.
Thank you! I am so ready for our trip next week. This helps the time fo by in a fun way. Loved the Maya Chan views and so want the Maya Chan Ice Tea. The aqua show...wow!!!! Thanks again for sharing your vacation with us.

When we were at Costa Maya the water was beautiful. Glad you made the best of it.
loved maya chan we went in december service is phenominal and a great relaxing day
What a wonderful day! Looks so relaxing. So glad you enjoyed yourselves and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking me back to Maya Chan! Love that place! And you got a break on the sea grass - I’ve seen it way worse.
Now this is totally up my alley!! And Nachi Cocom! I am sold lolol
I loved Maya Chan! They made me tortillas out of cheese so I could have tacos and they sent us on the buss with mixed drinks..
Heading to Costa Maya on the Mardi Gras in 2021. I will keep Maya Chan in mind. 🎉
My mom and I did a snorkel trip at Costa Maya. They didn't give us instructions on how to get out of the developed part. It was hard! LOL.
Some beach clubs have seaweed fences which really help
As always such a great video! Now Maya Chan is in our to-do list! I love a good beach club!
I love Caribbean night in the Windjammer!
we were there the next week- our fourth trip there...if they would only improve the road...David said they were trying to get some help to fix the condition of the road. No matter, it's worth the trip.
On the Symphony in October. We didn't make a reservation for any dining or shows and had no issues .
I've always been too scared to book a non-ship-sponsored excursion but I think I will when we go here next January!!
When I go on harmony of the seas lm gonna be excited to go to this stop
It's a great place! Be sure to make a reservation if you want to visit.
Thank you for this Vlog! I have reservations for Maya Chan next month and I’m really looking forward to it!
Awesome! It’s a treat!
When we were there, it was packed! You guys got lucky.
Oh wow! I didn’t know that!
such a great vlog guys thankyou so much for sharing.
I am going on my honeymoon on February 2nd on Harmony and I have been LOVING your videos! Any tips on how to make a honeymoon special would be amazing ❤️ I hope my future family is as beautiful as yours!
That's it!!! You have totally sold me on Maya Chan. December 2021... Can't wait. I do have one question for you... Can we leave the resort at anytime to head back to the ship or it destinated departure times?
They have a few choices in departure times if I recall correctly
Great vlog can't wait for next one 😊
Love the video I really learned a lot about your great excursion !,,😊
Is the food only tacos? Do they provide straws for drinks? 02Dec22 Mr Sancho's did not!
What a lovely day! Did you get an extended massage because of the thunder? The food looked amazing!
Love all of your vlogs! Is the water at Maya Chan always that brown color?
Hey Robert, NO, it's not. Unfortunately, the seaweed issue was in full swing while we were there. Reach out to them and they will be honest with you about how bad it is before you book. Happy cruising!
@@CruiseTipsTV thanks for the fast reply. I did try to reserve a spot but they were booked. I will be on the MSC Meraviglia sailing 10/23. Your review was awesome.
Lunch? Isn't the food included? Wouldn't you be able to get food anytime?
Nice video, we have a couple on Maya chan on our channel as well!
Looks wonderful! So I am guessing this was an excursion with the ship and everything was included in your price? You might have already said this. It did not look very busy there at all. The ship sounds fantastic - will have to check it out.
We booked it separately- the ship doesn’t sell excursions there - and yes it was all included Including the transportation to and from the beach
Is the seaweed still there in January 2020?We go there in a couple days.
Are the drinks extra or included in the excursion?
That beach water looked terrible,,,I would've ran back to ship.
If my ship won't arrive in Costa Maya till noon 14JAN24 is it worth it to reserve time there?

Hey Ashley it’s wonderful to hear from you. Yes I will consider this a very safe and comfortable excursion as long as you have plenty of hours in Port that day. Have a wonderful cruise and stay in touch
How long does the seaweed last ...
How far of a walk is it from ship to pickup point looks like a long walk?
Not too far, but similar to the walk in Cozumel- longer pier, and depending on how hot it is, it can be good to take it slow.
How much was maya chan to go on own?
What kind of water shoes were you wearing?
These were from a company called Aleader
In February our ship is only in Costa Maya from 7am until 2pm. Still worth doing Maya Chan?
That's a bit tight because it's a drive to Maya Chan. You may want to see what time Maya Chan opens that day. If they open before 10am, maybe, if not, I'd do something else.
Did you book Maya Chan through the cruise line?
No, we booked direct with them.
did you book this through your cruise or separate?
Separate :-)
that water looks like rusty runoff from a water main break. not my jam, though the food looks great
That's a shame about the water.
I want waiter job. from A P State 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I was with you up until the point of seeing the color of that water. The water in the Caribbean is suppose to be blue, preferably turquoise. Not brown! yuck!
It's because of the seaweed issue that she talked about in the beginning of the video.
