Creator's Key Takeaways

They just told us for this is Mardi Gras cruise that today is Fat Tuesday.

Keep that note. Make sure you get back in time cuz the ship will leave you.

It's my second time here. Usually it's only one ship here.

Don't go to here on Mardi Gras day, that Tuesday, cuz as you see, there was a bunch of locals there, and it was crowded.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid visiting Progreso on Mardi Gras day due to crowds and traffic.

✓Get back to the ship a couple hours before departure to avoid being left.

✓Pay attention to signs to avoid getting lost.

✓Use the bus service to get to the beach and town.
