Coral & Cenote Quickstep – 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 March 23, 2026, 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. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. Of the stops, Cozumel tends to be the one people talk about: Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Breeze takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
