We chose this cruise because we can drive to the port. We also wanted a 5 day cruise. This is an older smaller ship. I was pleasantly surprised at how well kept it was. It was clean and most of the crew were very nice. I liked that no matter what we chose to do there was never a crowd or the noisy pushy environment. One day was a little rocky due to the weather and I wondered if we had been on a larger ship if it would have been smoother. I will say that Royal Carribean has cut back on a lot of the complimentary amenities we are accustomed to. Progreso Mexico is still undeveloped and not a lot to do. Some may enjoy the old Mexico feel. Although I was a bit concerned about security, the beach (at the dock), shopping area were mostly local families enjoying an outing. Cozumel has the most beautiful water! We have been here 5-6 times over the past 25 years. Shopping is good but is now so commercialized so no bargaining. I'd suggest an excursion to enjoy the water and beach. Go with a cruise line excursion to be safe. Fun cruise for a short easy getaway.
