Ongoing labour protests at the Costa Maya port in Mexico have led to operational disruptions affecting cruise ship activities. The unrest at the port has influenced the ability of cruise lines to conduct planned shore excursions for their passengers.
In response to these disturbances, Royal Caribbean has stepped in to cancel all its shore excursions scheduled at Costa Maya. This measure impacts passengers traveling on itineraries originating from the United States as well as those in the Caribbean region.
Cruise Passengers to Adjust Travel Plans
Those aboard affected Royal Caribbean cruises will need to adapt to the change, as the cancellations require modifications to their planned
activities onshore. The disruption was publicly reported on June 3, 2026, bringing attention to the challenges posed by labour disputes at cruise ports in Mexico.
Passengers should stay in contact with their cruise operators for updates and alternative arrangements while the situation at Costa Maya unfolds.
