Ocean Discovery – Cozumel, Progreso (Mérida) & Galveston

About this cruise

5 nights from Galveston, visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida). It sails October 23, 2027 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Rum punch at the beach bar, snorkelling off the dock, sunsets that are genuinely worth staring at. People come back from this cruise talking about Progreso (Mérida): Gateway to the ancient Mayan world of Yucatán. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Carnival Horizon. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 2 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
