    That would be so disappointing. True, Costa Maya isn't a great port. However, missing any port is a bummer. I'm so sorry. It seemed you all had favorable docking position as well. Oh well. Next time, right? Thanks for a great video!

    In my opinion, you really didn't miss much at Costa Maya except for the long walk to the port itself and the many, many people at the port. I've cruised on the Dream three times and have loved it every time. I heard Andy the cruise director making the announcement about the ship not docking there at port, he is awesome! As for the shows, I wish that Carnival would update their shows on the ships. It seems like most of them going out of Galveston have the same Playlist Production shows going on and even though they're different performers it still is tiring seeing the same shows every cruise. I'm a karaoke person myself and was glad that the Dream has the new setup for karaoke. Kim with a K is a great karaoke hostess. Enjoy the rest of your trip! :)

    We had the opposite happened when we went on Icon of the Seas. A Carnival ship was already docked there, and we couldn't lock because of high swells, so it could happen to even Icon! I've got a video on my channel about that.

    I was on the Dream the first of April and we didn’t dock in costa maya either. Said weather was the reason. Said the other ships there got there earlier than the 1:00pm dock time. A rumor on our cruise was it was the young Italian captain. Wonder what his track record is of not docking in costa maya. Might be a good video.

    We cruised on the dream in November/December of last year with the same itinerary. It was not a good experience. We aren't giving up cruising because of it but we will not ever be booking on the Dream again.

    • @FowlerFamilyFun
      @FowlerFamilyFun  2 месяца назад +3

      The Dream is okay but it would rank low on all the cruising we have done. If the price is cheap enough I would still go on the Dream. But if other ships are the same price I would probably pick another ship especially if it is a new one for us

    We were on a Holland America cruise that had to skip Turks and Caicos because of wind. If the ship had gotten out of control we would have taken the dock out. Safety first is ok with me and fortunately we were B2B so we hit it the next time through.

    I was on the jubilee about a month or so ago and this same situation happened to us! We were so close to land and they turned around and left. I’m not sure what is going on with this port but I would say they should take it off the list. I’m in plenty of facebook groups that have said that have had the same outcome. It’s such a let down!
