Cobalt & Cenote Dash – Cozumel & Progreso

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 5 nights from Galveston on July 31, 2027, visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida). The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Clear water and warm sand at every stop. It's the Caribbean, so you probably already know what to expect. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Cozumel, Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Horizon keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Galveston before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
