One of the highlights of our Celebrity Solstice Alaska cruise was visiting Icy Strait Point, one of Alaska’s most unique cruise destinations. During Day 3 of our 7-night Alaska cruise, we enjoyed a relaxing morning aboard the Celebrity Solstice before heading ashore to explore everything Icy Strait Point has to offer, including the scenic nature trail, the historic cannery, and the beautiful waterfront community of Hoonah.
One of the best ways to reach the historic cannery area is by taking the Nature Trail. This scenic forest path winds through the rainforest and offers a peaceful walk surrounded by towering trees before arriving at the shops, museum, and restaurants.
The scenic Nature Trail is a beautiful way to walk between the main cruise area and the historic Hoonah Cannery at Icy Strait Point.
Exploring the Historic Cannery & Museum
The historic cannery is one of the highlights of Icy Strait Point. We spent time exploring the museum, browsing the unique shops, and learning more about the area’s rich fishing history while enjoying the beautiful waterfront setting.

Walking to Hoonah
Rather than taking the shuttle, we chose to walk the scenic Veterans Memorial Sea Walk to the nearby community of Hoonah. The walk is approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) each way and follows the shoreline, offering beautiful ocean views and a relaxing way to experience the area beyond the cruise port. It ended up being one of our favorite parts of the afternoon.

Day 6 of our MSC Seascape Caribbean cruise brought us to Cozumel, Mexico, where we set off on one of the most unique excursions of our trip. We booked the MSC Cruises Caverns and Underground Swim and Shopping in Playa del Carmen excursion, which took us across the water to the mainland and deep into the fascinating Cenote Chaak Tun cave system. From underground caverns and crystal-clear waters to exploring the streets of Playa del Carmen, this turned into an unforgettable day ashore before another fun evening aboard MSC Seascape.
Ferry to Playa del Carmen & Cenote Chaak Tun Adventure ⛴️🌴
Our day began with a ferry ride from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen, followed by a short shuttle ride to Cenote Chaak Tun. After getting fitted with water shoes, life jackets, helmets, and snorkeling masks, we entered the underground cave system for an incredible guided adventure.
Inside the cenotes, we explored ancient limestone caverns filled with impressive rock formations, stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal-clear freshwater pools. We navigated narrow cave passages, learned about the geology of the area, and spent time swimming through the refreshing underground waters. The cave system was much larger than we expected, and the experience felt like stepping into another world.
Passengers aboard the ferry to Playa del Carmen enjoy views of MSC Seascape docked in Cozumel before beginning their Cenote Chaak Tun cave adventure. 🚢🌊
Exploring Playa del Carmen 🏖️🛍️
After our cave adventure, we returned to Playa del Carmen for some free time. We spent time wandering through the colorful streets, browsing local shops, and soaking in the atmosphere of this popular beach destination.
We also made our way down to the waterfront to enjoy views of the beautiful beach and Caribbean Sea before heading back to meet our excursion group. While our time was limited, it gave us a great glimpse of Playa del Carmen and left us wanting to return for a longer visit in the future.
Back on MSC Seascape 🚢
After the ferry ride back to Cozumel and returning to the ship, we cleaned up and headed out for another evening aboard MSC Seascape. Tonight featured a fun western-themed atmosphere throughout the ship, complete with themed music and menu selections in the main dining room.
Dinner at the Cala Jondal Restaurant included Texas-style favorites such as smoked brisket, pulled pork quesadillas, cornbread, and peach cobbler. It was another enjoyable meal and a great way to end an action-packed day ashore.
“In Concert” Show & Officers in Motion 🎸🎭
The evening entertainment included the “In Concert” production show in the Chora Theatre. This high-energy performance featured live music, talented singers, dancers, and rock classics that had the audience fully engaged throughout the show.
Afterward, we headed to the ship’s atrium for the popular Officers in Motion event, where MSC officers joined guests for a fun evening of dancing and entertainment. It was a lively way to wrap up another fantastic day onboard.
Final Thoughts
Day 6 combined adventure, exploration, and entertainment into one memorable cruise day. From swimming through the underground waters of Cenote Chaak Tun to exploring Playa del Carmen and enjoying another great evening aboard MSC Seascape, this was easily one of the highlights of our Caribbean cruise.
If you’re visiting Cozumel on an MSC cruise and looking for something unique beyond the beaches, this excursion is definitely worth considering.
Day 5 of our MSC Seascape Caribbean cruise brought us to the beautiful island of Roatan, Honduras. From relaxing at West Bay Beach and snorkeling along the reef to enjoying one of the best evening shows of the cruise, this turned out to be an unforgettable day aboard the MSC Seascape.
Arrival in Roatan & Heading to West Bay 🌴☀️
We started the morning with breakfast at the buffet before disembarking in Coxen Hole, Roatan. After meeting our private excursion driver outside the port, we made the scenic drive across the island to West Bay Beach, where we had booked the Bananarama Resort Beach Day Pass through Shore Excursioneer.
The drive over gave us a chance to see more of the island’s lush scenery before arriving at the beach resort. Once there, we got settled into our loungers under the palm trees and explored the beautiful beach area and resort amenities.
Snorkeling at Bananarama Resort 🐟🌊
One of the highlights of the day was definitely the snorkeling. We headed down toward the reef area near the far end of West Bay Beach, where the snorkeling conditions were fantastic. There were plenty of colorful fish, coral formations, and even a large puffer fish hiding among the rocks.
The water was warm and easy to access from the beach, making this a great snorkeling spot for both excursions and independent travelers. We brought our own snorkeling gear, but there were rental options available nearby for visitors who needed equipment.
As the afternoon went on, clouds and rain started moving into the area, so we decided to cut our beach day a little short and return to the cruise port early with another excursion group. Even with the weather changing, it was still an amazing experience.

Sailaway & Dinner on MSC Seascape 🚢
Back onboard the MSC Seascape, we enjoyed watching the sailaway from Roatan before getting ready for another evening of dining and entertainment. We returned to the Cala Jondal Restaurant for dinner, where we had another excellent meal and outstanding service from our dining team.
For appetizers, Andrea enjoyed the broccoli cheddar soup while I ordered Caesar salad and escargot, which turned out to be one of the best escargot dishes I’ve had on a cruise. For the main course, I tried the fish and chips while Andrea enjoyed the roast beef tenderloin with potatoes and vegetables.
Dessert included a dulce de leche cream cake and a layered apple cake with cinnamon sauce, both paired perfectly with coffee after dinner.
Love Blooms Show at Chora Theatre 🎭✨
The evening wrapped up with the Love Blooms production show at the Chora Theatre, which ended up being our favorite show of the cruise so far. The performance combined singing, dancing, aerial acts, colorful visuals, and a nature-themed love story that was captivating from start to finish.
The aerial performances and stage production were especially impressive, and it was one of those shows we almost wanted to watch a second time before the cruise ended.
Tomorrow, we arrive in Cozumel, Mexico, where we’ll take a ferry to the mainland for a cavern and underground swim adventure!
Our first port day on the MSC Seascape was absolutely unforgettable as we pulled into Costa Maya, Mexico. From wildlife in the port to spotting turtles in the water, here is a look at our Day 4 adventures.
The flamingos at the Costa Maya port were so active and vocal during our visit! 🦩 It’s a great free experience to see these beautiful birds right within the port area as you head out for the day.
Snorkeling and The Krazy Lobster 🌮🌊
We started with a quick breakfast in the Green Wave Restaurant before taking a taxi to The Krazy Lobster. This beach club served as our home base for a private snorkeling excursion booked through Shore Excursioner. The absolute highlight was heading out on the boat and seeing sea turtles! 🐢 The water was perfectly warm, making for an incredible experience on the reef. After snorkeling, we relaxed at the club with some beef nachos and cold beverages.
Exploring the Malecon 🏝️✨
Following our time at the beach club, we explored the Malecon, checking out the local shops and the lighthouse. It was a beautiful afternoon for a stroll, and with the weather so comfortable, we decided to walk back to the ship. It was about a 40 minute walk from the lighthouse back to the port area, which was a great way to take in the sights.
White Night Celebrations 🤍✨
Back on board, it was time for the highly anticipated White Night. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Cala Jondal Restaurant, where the New York strip steak and cheesecake were winners. 🥩🍰 For entertainment, we caught a funny comedy show by Jeff Capri in the Chora Theatre and a variety show at Le Cabaret Rouge. We finished the night dancing under the stars at the massive White Night party by the marina pool. 💃🕺

Unlike the standard breakfast from previous days, this special menu featured a mix of breakfast and lunch items like burgers and specialty dishes. We loved the whipped yogurt parfait with fresh strawberries and the Huevos Rancheros which came with a generous serving of guacamole.
Shopping and Pirate’s Cove 🌊🎢
After browsing the logo store on Deck 8 for souvenirs and grabbing a soft serve ice cream, we headed to Pirate’s Cove on Deck 18. We spent the afternoon testing the racer slides and the high speed tube slide, which was the fastest of the bunch. We also relaxed in the hot tubs where staff ensured the area stayed peaceful and not overcrowded.

Surf and Turf: We splurged $5 to add a second entree of filet mignon with truffle mashed potatoes.
