Jade Shores – Cozumel & Progreso

About this cruise

This is the kind of trip that just works. 5 nights from Galveston, visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida), sailing May 9, 2026, and nothing about it feels forced. Sea days bookend the port visits. You settle in, see the ports, then have time to wind down before heading home. Clear water and warm sand at every stop. It's the Caribbean, so you probably already know what to expect. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Breeze keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 5-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
