Progresso This is a "unique" port.  Carnival has an exclusive with them so very few (only Carnival) ships stop there.  And you will see why.  It is a far cry from most other ports.  The water is not inviting and there isn't much to do in the town itself.  Massages on the beach, drinking cheap tequila and shopping for cheap stuff is about all we've ever done.  Which works for us, saves us a lot of money on excursions.  By all means - get off the ship and say you've been to Progresso.  Spend some money - the people there need it and then get back on the ship and watch the drunks return.  There are other excursions available just be sure and read the reviews.  I refuse any bus ride that exceeds 30 minutes.  I'm old, I'm grouchy and that is my rule.
     
Cozumel There are lots of things to do here.  We are partial to Passion Island and the Twister boat ride that takes you there.  However there are nice beaches a short cab ride from the port and numerous other options.  This is a small island that caters to tourists.  This will be election day.  A good day to be away from the ship.  Maybe even a good day to drink  . . . a lot!
