YouTube Video Description

It's day 4 on The Carnival Valor! Today we are in Progreso, a port city on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. We're headed on an excursion to the Ake Ruins and a Cave Swim/tubing adventure at Cenotes Hacienda Mucuyche! Both of these stops were amazing, and we would definitely recommend this excursion! It is a lot of travel time on the bus, but it's worth it to see these beautiful sites! We were also provided an authentic Mexican lunch, which was pretty good! Once back on the ship, we went to the theater for Carnival's rock show production! We visited the piano bar for a bit before heading to the 80's Rock-N-Glow party up on the Lido Deck!
