Best time to cruise Mexico (Gulf routes)

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.

What you'll find

  • Cozumel and Costa Maya on many 7-night Western Caribbean loops
  • 4–5 night sampler cruises from Tampa or Galveston — often Cozumel-only
  • Progreso on some Galveston sailings — gateway to Chichén Itzá
  • Reef snorkeling, Mayan ruins, and laid-back beach towns on port days
  • Closed-loop Gulf sailings — simplified ID rules; passport still wise
