Progreso has a very long pier with transportation provided to the town of Progreso. They don't allow people to walk from pier to the ship but do provide free transportation. Progreso is quite run-down so we avoided much of the town and instead chose to go the Uxmal ruins. Weather was perfect with a wonderful breeze and plenty of shade.

Cozumel is really a beautiful island, especially if you like hanging out on the beach. The shopping area next to the ships is expansive and has a great variety. The prices are a little high for many items, even higher than in the US for some items. The town of San Miguel is about a 30-40 minute walk from the Puerta Maya where we docked. We saw many people renting scooters or Jeeps or tuk tuks and traversing the island was very easy at only 9 miles wide and about 33 miles long. The drive along the Easter shore is beautiful and the water is visible from the road. As we drove along the southern tip of the island, the ocean is really not visible through the very thick brush and trees. One needs to drive into the many beach resorts to see any ocean or beach along the southern tip of the island.

Had Cabin 1227 on the riviera deck forward. The room had a large window, ample closet and drawer space for two travelers. The bed was two twin beds pushed together. The bed was pretty well worn with two troughs with a bump in the middle. We asked Lydia, our room steward, if there was an overlay available to us and she was able to round one up. This made the bed much more comfortable. The shower and bathroom was ample enough for us. The downside of this room is that it is noisy when coming into port with engine noise, vibrations, rumbling. If you are a heavy sleeper then this may not be an issue. For us, it was really loud. While at sea, there really was little noise to speak of except for some of the larger waves hitting against the hull of the ship - that did cause some strong vibrations.

Charles) but the food was average at best and food at Cafe Beignet on Bourbon street had a nice location but a very small bowl of shrimp and chicken Gumbo which two stale pieces of bread was $10.The slide was good fun and really made for a good time with the kids on the ship.
