Destination
Mexico
Gulf and Western Caribbean ports
Gulf cruises to Mexico mean Cozumel reefs, Costa Maya beaches, and on some sailings Progreso runs to Chichén Itzá — without flying to South Florida. Short 4–7 night loops from Tampa or Galveston are common.

December through April is peak dry season on the Yucatán coast: mid-70s to mid-80s °F, lower rain, and the highest demand (book early for Christmas through March and spring break). May and November are shoulder months — warmer, some showers, often better fares than peak winter.
June through August is hot and humid, popular with families on summer schedules. September and October overlap peak Atlantic hurricane season — lowest prices possible, with the highest chance of port swaps or cancellations on Cozumel and Costa Maya calls.
