Stucco Walls – Riviera Maya & Progreso

About this cruise

It's the kind of trip that's easy to say yes to. 5 nights from New Orleans on May 24, 2027, visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida). Sea days bookend the port visits. You settle in, see the ports, then have time to wind down before heading home. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 11 restaurants on Carnival Dream, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 5 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
