Spoiler: You’re paying $4–$6 per water bottle otherwise.

A Return Visit to Iberostar Cozumel

 

After several visits to Cozumel, we already knew that booking a cruise excursion wasn’t the experience we were looking for. Instead, we chose to return to a place we had previously loved—the Iberostar Cozumel Resort. This visit confirmed why it remains one of our favorite ways to spend a port day on the island.

Docking in Cozumel and heading out on our own allowed us to move at a relaxed pace, enjoy familiar surroundings, and truly unwind.

A Perfect Day at West Bay Beach, Roatan

Thinking About Riding Robotron on MSC Seascape? Read This First

If you are sailing on the MSC Seascape and looking for a true adrenaline rush, the Robotron is one of the most exciting attractions onboard.

Located on the aft (back) of the ship in the outdoor deck area, Robotron is hard to miss. It rises dramatically over the ocean and features a massive robotic arm with passenger seats attached. What makes it even more thrilling is that riders are lifted 173 feet above sea level, giving you sweeping open-ocean views while you spin, tilt, and flip high above the deck.

It is not for the faint of heart—but it is definitely unforgettable.
