Silver Wake – Cozumel & Merida

About this cruise

Book 5 days off from October 2, 2027 and this cruise from New Orleans will do the rest, taking you to Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida) and back. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Clear water and warm sand at every stop. It's the Caribbean, so you probably already know what to expect. Progreso (Mérida) stands out. It's Gateway to the ancient Mayan world of Yucatán. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in New Orleans before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
