Lizard & Lime Loop – Cozumel & Progreso

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from Galveston on July 12, 2027 visits Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida) and makes every day count. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Progreso (Mérida) stands out. It's Gateway to the ancient Mayan world of Yucatán. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 14 restaurants on Carnival Horizon, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. Galveston itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
