Spice & Salt Dash – Progreso & Cozumel

About this cruise

Sometimes you just need a few days out of your routine. This one sails from Galveston on December 30, 2026, spends 5 nights visiting Progreso (Mérida) and Cozumel, and gets you back before anyone really notices you were gone. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Don't rush through Progreso (Mérida), which is known as Gateway to the ancient Mayan world of Yucatán. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 7 restaurants on Carnival Miracle, 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. All told, 2 ports across 5 nights covers a lot.
