Summary
Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas stayed in Miami until Sept. 27 after required maintenance, pushing back its Sept. 26 departure and replacing Costa Maya with a sea day.
At least $300 in onboard credit was offered to passengers, with Reddit posts saying compensation varied by cabin type.
Reaction split sharply: some travelers cheered missing Costa Maya—calling it run-down, small and lacking activities—while others lamented losing excursions, including tours to the Chacchoben ruins.
The episode turned a routine itinerary change into a broader debate among cruisers over whether Costa Maya is a worthwhile port stop at all.
