NOVEMBER 21–28, 2026
Aboard Norwegian Luna
From reef-blue water to ancient Maya ruins.
Our week at sea, for the eight of us.
THE VOYAGE / DAY BY DAY
A little beach time. A little adventure.
And plenty of room to take it easy.
Cruise and tour times are ship time.
One clock to follow: ship time. For independent outings, aim to return at least 90 minutes before scheduled departure, and before the actual all-aboard deadline if it is earlier. Confirm the deadline onboard.
COSTA MAYA / 25 NOVEMBERAI-GENERATED ILLUSTRATIONTHE NATIVE CHOICE
Chacchoben Extreme Tour
Walk among Maya ruins, then head to Bacalar’s Seven Color Lagoon to swim, kayak, or simply relax. Transport, guide, admission, lunch, and included drinks are covered.
All three times are ship time. The 2:30 pm return is calculated from the 5.5-hour duration, not guaranteed. If docking is late, departure moves to one hour after docking.
Find The Native Choice’s white kiosk in Plaza Las Fuentes, outside the main port entrance and across the street from the Maya pyramid. Allow time for the pier and terminal walk.
Bring the voucher, swimsuit, towel, and comfortable walking shoes. Check participation needs and swimming comfort privately.
View the meeting pointFree cancellation is available until November 22; the exact cutoff time is not specified. Check the operator’s booking terms for later changes or a missed tour.
If the ship misses the port, contact the operator. Safety conditions or late arrival can lead to changes or cancellation.

SMALL THINGS, SMOOTHER SAILING
Useful first-timer extras for our week aboard.
Use what you already own and coordinate shared gear.
Examples checked September 30, 2026 · not cruise-line endorsements
A resealable sleeve keeps your ship card together with its strap. Use the sleeve rather than punching the card. Existing badge holders or a secure pocket work too.
For children, choose a safety-breakaway clasp. Remove neck straps for swimming, slides, and active play.
Cruise On four-packKeep a towel in place on a windy deck. Adjustable bands pack flatter than bulky novelty clips; bring your existing large clips if you already have them.
Use them while occupying a lounger, not to reserve a chair. There’s no need for both bands and clips.
Cruise On adjustable towel bandsUseful for lanyards, hats, and empty totes on suitable metal surfaces. Norwegian Luna’s exact magnetic surfaces have not been verified.
Test gently and never drag across a finish. Keep loads light, doors clear, and hooks off safety fixtures; skip heavy bags and wet towels.
Smooth Trip four-packA holder sized for Norwegian’s printed luggage tags helps keep each bag’s cabin label secure. Count bags going to the porters, rather than people.
Insert the correct printed NCL tag for each cabin and attach it after the flight.
Cruise On NCL tag holdersThe Anker 735 Nano II A2667 has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, with no extra AC sockets. Bring the right cables; output is shared across connected devices.
Check current NCL rules before sailing. A retailer’s “cruise-approved” label is not an NCL endorsement.
Anker 735 Nano II 65WA 10-liter bag is handy for small shared essentials and a dry change near boat splashes. It won’t hold everyone’s towels.
Roll the top 3–4 times and test first. This earth pak model is IPX5 splash protection, not a bag to tow while swimming.
earth pak Original 10LPacking cubes keep shared suitcases organized. Bring a larger existing laundry bag or pillowcase for a week’s clothes.
A waterproof phone pouch is optional for waterside photos. Check phone-and-case fit, follow the closure instructions, and test with tissue first. This Nite Ize case is IP67-rated to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes; it is not a diving case or a guarantee against phone loss.
DON’T BURY THESE IN A SUITCASE
Required travel documents, medicines, chargers, swimsuit, and a change of clothes. Add a second swimsuit for the week so one can dry while the other is in use.
FOR RUINS & LAGOON TIME
Comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, a dry change, sun hat, light rain layer, voucher, and a bag for wet items. Check tour inclusions before adding gear.
Decide on Roatán, Harvest Caye, and Cozumel. Check participation requirements, mobility needs, and swimming comfort privately.
For unbooked outings, confirm eight spaces, participation requirements, cancellation terms, pickup point, departure time, and return time.
Keep the voucher handy and bring a swimsuit, towel, and comfortable walking shoes. Free cancellation runs until November 22, with the exact cutoff time unspecified.
Andy is handling David and family’s Friday, November 20 pickup; confirm the exact time and meeting place. The return drive from Miami to Tampa airport on November 28 is also planned with Andy.
