What's the best shore excursions to book on Carnival Fantasy ship?

Question

I will be traveling with my 8 year old son, and Progreso Yucatan, Mexico is one of the ports and Cozumel, Mexico is the other port?

Answer 1

I saw this ship docked in New Orleans, right in front of RC's Grandeur of the Seas. Now that was an impressive sight! You can email me for pics if you want to see it.

Are you leaving from New Orleans? I would check out some of the sites there if you have time; French Quarter, cemeteries, River Walk, etc.

Have fun!!

Answer 2

Progresso doesn't offer very much.  However, a tour of the Dz..... ruins may work well with an 8yr old.  The bus ride is short, he will get to swim for a bit and the ruins site isn't very large.  In Cozumel, there are many, many things to do.  You really don't need to book via the cruise line in Coz.  For a family thing,  I would suggest jumping in a cab and going to one of the beach clubs like Mr. Sanchos or Paradise beach. In addition to swimming, you should be able to pick up a snorkle tour right from one of the beaches.  Also, there is a national park which I am not going to try to spell.  It begins with a ch.... that has a lot to offer.

If you go to cruisecritic.com there will be a list of things by people who have been to these same ports. You will have to sign up but the information on this site is all from folks who have been on previous cruises. I use it all of the time and have found it very helpful.
