Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Needs more electricity outlets but refrigerator worked well. The balcony light is disabled due to blinding the ships drivers and spotters.

Ship tip

If planning to do laundry bring soap, the kiosks always out. Order room service and sent forget to tip. Was nice to have coffee on my terms

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

Not sure why Carnival has this as a stop. A small Mexican town wishing to grow their port. Not bad but most leave the area to do excursions
