Have also done this itinerary many times. Cozumel - Touristy but all the beaches are nice. Most are all a 6.00-8.00 cab ride. We always do Paradise Beach, gorgeous pool area, but beach is pretty rocky. Belize - Downtown is pretty scary. If you do any ship sponsored tours, this is the place. We usually walk around the port shops a little and spend most of our time at the ship's pool since most everyone else will be onshore. Costa Maya - Again, pretty touristy since it was built specifically for the cruise ships.There is a small village about 15 minutes from port, but they will bug the crap out of you to visit their shops and the beaches aren't very nice. It's always fun to watch the drunks at the cruise ship terminal (humongous pool, shops, bars, etc). And it's good exercise to walk the pier (about 1/2 mile each way). My favorite Caribbean port is Roatan. Been on almost 40 cruises and I love Roatan, It's a gorgeous Island and the people are friendly but not overly pushy trying to sell you stuff you don't need. Just about any of the beaches will be gorgeous. This is also a great port to book a catamaran/snorkle excursion. Just do a search for vendors on trip advisor or cruise critic for lots of good recommendations. Roatan is what the other islands "used" to be. Of course, all cruises are what you make of them. Go expecting to have fun and you'll have a super time! Jan
