@bearae go to my buddy's site at www.atlascruiseandtravel.com Somewhere on the site you can look up shore excursions (travel resources). We used the shore excursion company which took care of everything and made sure we had a great day in our port city. Much better to do it this way than going on your own or using Carnival's excursions. 4951
I still feel safe in Cozumel and Playa Del Carmen..I don't think Cancun is very safe and I would never visit any of the border towns. I am still a HUGE fan of the Mexico All Inclusive resorts. 4951
We travel to Mexico quite a bit. We go to Cozumel at least 2 times a year and wouldn't be too concerned with Cancun as long as staying at a nice resort. We usually do 7 day cruises but didn't want to wait until our next. So we decided to do a 5 day getaway on a cruise that happens to port in Progreso. I haven't heard much good about this port either so unless someone has something good to say about what to do/is safe there, we will just make it a fun day on board and wait to get to Cozumel. 4951
