Jungle & Ruin Pulse – Cozumel & Progreso

About this cruise

You leave Galveston on January 1, 2028 and come back 5 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits 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. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. 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, There are 14 restaurants on Carnival Horizon, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
