Review summary

Cruise itself was great, disembarking at New Orleans was horrible. Stood in a hot line for hours while luggage carriers haggled us to take their bags so that they could make money, only to get to the end of the line and see only 2 agents doing checks and they weren't even checking luggage. This was purely a way for them to make money off toting our luggage for us. I wouldn't cruise from New Orleans again if I am to expect that at disembarkation.

Ship tip

Stay on deck 7 or 8, less noise, and pay for the balcony, you won't regret it

The city of Merida was nice, but sellers outside the cruise terminal and at the Autoprogresso bus terminal we're very aggressive, wouldn't go back to Progresso

Never had a problem. However, carry your own bags if in a hurry and being cheap.

We never had that problem at all in New Orleans. It was fast and quick we had no problems. The porters earned those tips by working hard. I don’t understand your question or statement. Are you just complaining, you do know you’re on vacation right!🤔🤔🤔🤔😠
