CIMG8216 Me on the pier in Cozumel, in front of Ecstasy and Glory, two Carnival ships (Ecstasy was the one we were on).

I went on a Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean cruise in November of 2007. Our ship was named Ecstasy. The ship sailed from Galveston TX, to Cozumel and Progresso (Mexico) and back. We got to see some of the archaeological sites of Mexico: Mayan ruins and pyramids.

While on the cruise, I went to two shore tours on our ports of call, Cozumel and Progresso. From Cozumel we went on a tour of the Mayan ruins of Tulum. We could not spend much time at either site, because just getting there from the coast takes 1.5 — 2 hours each way. So we could spend barely 2 hours touring the ruins. I got to see the highlights, the world-famous pyramids and temples I’ve seen in pictures, but not much more.
