I can't blame the cruise line for the weather conditions but the water was so rough and the ship rocked so much that when we arrived at Progreso, three of the four of us were so seasick that we spent the day in our cabin. Lost the money spent on our excursion. Overheard another passenger say that a staff member had told him that it was always rough sailing around Progreso.
On a side note: don't waste your money on the unlimited soda package because it is NOT worth it. The only places you can get soda is at one of the bars or room service. Sodas are not covered by the package through room service so you will pay extra. You're only allowed 1 soda per room card per trip to the bar. (But one person with one room card can order a bucket of bottles of beer) seems a little lopsided.
Faster to the Fun - if you don't have it, get it! We didn't purchase it and how I wish we had. You bypass the LONG lines at embarkation to get processed to get on the ship faster and disembark before everyone else.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Cabin 8C
The air conditioning didn't seem to work as well as we would of hoped for during the day but caught up and made the room comfortable after the sun went down. The pull down bed made us nervous so we would take the mattress off and put it on the floor. The weight limit is 250 lbs. There were 4 adults in our group and none of us wanted to climb up the ladder. It would be great for the littles who don't mind bunk beds. We had a broken lamp above the sofa but otherwise the room was clean and comfortable.
Port Reviews
Cozumel
Shopped in the area around the port. The scenery was beautiful, the water was gorgeous and the shops were interesting. Every store had someone in the doorway screaming for your attention to get you to come inside. We listened to a live mariachi band playing before heading back to the ship.
New Orleans
Our first trip to NOLA, we stayed a couple of extra days before and after the cruise. So much to see and do, can't wait to go back!!!
