Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

We walked to the village, Mahahual, and simply enjoyed the site. Didn't stay at the port, because too crowded; there were 5 ships.

What happened at embarkation? Did you check in online? We were on in 5 minutes after entering the pier. They took our photo with an iPad and we went straight to the ship. Our Seapass cards were waiting for us in our room.
