Review summary

Overall it was good and a lot of fun. I wonder why they stop at progresso, been there once now and would have no need to go back

Cabin / Stateroom

Nice bed a little small and could have been softer

Ship tip

If your a smoker you will want to be near the rear of the ship

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Love love love it My friend and I did the dolphin swim and had a blast ( the pictures were 130 for the both of our pictures) One thing I love was the dolphin swim was at chunkanaab and there is no way with the limited port time you could do it all in one day. After the dolphin swim we had the lunch which was better than the lunch in progresso it was not to my taste (Texmex is better). Then we went diving and I had the best time diving here and I have been diving since 2003. It was my favorite part of the whole cruise. Never had time for sea lion show nor the tequila tasting or anything else for that matter as I said there is no way you could do it all in the time you have in port.highly recommend it. Cozumel is not cheap. For example at panama jack I paid $29 for one small can of sunscreen, then we were told the hats were $17 but when we got to the register the same salesman then tried to change the price to $54. At that point I didn’t buy the hat and left.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5

Run down view of Mexico in my opinion. Was not very pretty. Shore excursion I would like to warn about Mayapan ruins cenote swim and lazy river tubing Extremely deceiving, there actually is no lazy river tubing at all. The lunch was dry and bland. I would not recommend it. You do get to swim in two cenotes which was really nice. Would have been nicer if they told me I should have brought my dive light for the cave cenote. Mayapan ruins were hot but not too big so got to see it all. Gift stand was very reasonably priced. They should reverse it so you cool off with the cenote after you get hot at the ruins. So there were some good points but still bitter about the misleading description as my friend and I were looking forward to a relaxing river tubing like we do here in Texas. One good thing about progresso was the shops had much better pricing. I bought most of my gifts here

I think the Breeze has an alternate itenarary to choose one without Progresso.
