Saffron & Surf – Cozumel & Progreso

About this cruise

This is the kind of trip that just works. 5 nights from Galveston, visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida), sailing December 24, 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. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Sunshine has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. You start in Galveston and come back with stories from Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida).
