Amber Resin – Riviera Maya & Merida
About this cruise
Book 5 days off from June 21, 2027 and this cruise from New Orleans will do the rest, taking you to Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida) and back. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. People come back from this cruise talking about Progreso (Mérida): Gateway to the ancient Mayan world of Yucatán. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 11 restaurants on Carnival Dream, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. New Orleans itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 2 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
