Tampa to New Orleans, Progreso, and Cozumel
I love a day to explore the restaurants and parks in New Orleans. This Margaritaville at Sea mid-priced cruise is on the Islander, their largest ship (but not TOO large). Sail from Tampa and visit The Big Easy for a day, have a few sea days for total relaxation, and enjoy Progreso and Cozumel before returning back to Tampa.
