Cruise Lines Bypass Costa Maya for Alternate Ports of Call

Due to the extensive damage suffered by the cruise ship piers at Costa Maya, it appears that rebuilding will take longer than originally anticipated. Officials don't anticipate reopening two of the three berths until Sept 2008; the third won't be ready until early-2009. At this time cruise lines are working to revise itineraries for the long run; however, following are some of the short term replacement ports for Costa Maya:

Azamara Cruises

• Azamara Quest will visit Cozumel.

Carnival Cruise Lines

• Carnival Fantasy will visit Progreso.
• Carnival Legend will visit Roatan.
• Carnival Glory will visit Key West and Progreso and bypass Belize as well as Costa Maya.
