Mayan Echo – Merida & Yucatan

About this cruise

This is the kind of trip that just works. 5 nights from New Orleans, visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida), sailing December 11, 2027, 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 Dream keeps you well fed. 11 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. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 5-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
