Seven Seas Splendor: 14-Night Cruise from Galveston - December 28, 2026

Arriving in Cozumel, Mexico at 2:00 PM with only 7 hours hours before your 9:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. The west side of Cozumel offers calm water and excellent visibility, ideal for snorkeling and swimming.

As a smaller vessel, the Seven Seas Splendor means a quicker disembarkation in Belize City, Belize - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Altun Ha is one of the most accessible and impressive Maya archaeological sites near Belize City.

Your ship arrives in Santo Tomas de Castilla, Guatemala 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. Take a boat ride along the Rio Dulce to Livingston, a town with Afro-Caribbean Garifuna culture.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Roatan, Honduras, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 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. Walk through West End Village to enjoy local shops, restaurants, and cultural experiences.

As a smaller vessel, the Seven Seas Splendor means a quicker disembarkation in Montego Bay, Jamaica - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Doctor's Cave Beach is a renowned white sand beach with clear waters perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling.

With a late arrival in Willemstad, Curacao at 11:00 AM, your time ashore is more limited - but many morning passengers will already be heading back, so popular spots may be less crowded. Focus on attractions closest to the port. Visit the Floating Market where colorful boats from Venezuela sell fresh produce and fish directly from the harbor.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Oranjestad, Sint Eustatius, 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. The St Eustatius Historical Museum offers insight into the island's Dutch colonial past and local culture.

As a smaller vessel, the Seven Seas Splendor means a quicker disembarkation in Kralendijk, Bonaire, Dutch Antilles - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Bonaire is one of the best places in the Caribbean for easy snorkeling.

Your cruise ends in Miami, Florida, where the Seven Seas Splendor is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Food lovers can explore Latin American cuisine, while sun seekers enjoy miles of sandy shoreline and turquoise waters.
