Review summary

Cruise itself is nice. The staff are amazing. Food is pretty good. Entertainment is good. Cozumel was amazing Port of Call. Progresso could have been taken off the schedule and no one miss anything. This is a very poor, dirty dingy area that Carnival is trying to monopolize. Too bad too. Completely understand the disembarkation takes time to orgastrate, but there could be AC, or at the very minimum fans to help with the extreme heat while you wait for customs/Immigration etc. Simply having air moving would have been a big plus.

Ship tip

Take a fan. The air is not that comfortable in the room. Most of the time it was hot. Skip Progresso Port of Call.

We have an excursion for the Uxmal ruins. Good to know about the lack of airflow. Maybe i should bring a little mini fan

The key to Progresso is getting into old Merida City. Get off the shore. Also, Carnival isn’t the only line that comes to Progresso.
