MSC Seascape: 7-Night Cruise from Galveston - September 13, 2026

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Costa Maya, Mexico, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. You can step off the ship and be on a beach in minutes, or head inland to experience the rich history of the ancient Maya world.

The MSC Seascape carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Roatan, Honduras. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Explore the island's stunning coral reefs through snorkeling or diving tours.

Your ship arrives in Cozumel, Mexico at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. The west side of Cozumel offers calm water and excellent visibility, ideal for snorkeling and swimming.

Your cruise ends in Galveston, Texas, where the MSC Seascape is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. With 3,500+ passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a two to three hour window - but once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist - carrying your own bags off - lets you skip the wait and walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Organized excursions are available, but independent exploration works very well due to the compact layout.
