Gulf Sway – Riviera Maya from Louisiana

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave New Orleans on March 15, 2027 for 5 nights visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida). You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. Rum punch at the beach bar, snorkelling off the dock, sunsets that are genuinely worth staring at. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Carnival Valor. 9 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
