Hi, we've been there twice and fixing to go back in july, have been on the elation and the ecstasy and the ecstasy was by far a much more beautiful ship. Progresso we loved it both times! the first time we went freestyle and just roamed the little town and courtyard where the shops are.. I love the people there, they aren't unruly or pushy, they smile and it's just a fabulous and quaint village. That's what we like though, we like the undeveloped areas that are fresh from tourism (ironic isn't it) lol... the second time we did the mayan reality tour we saw further into progresso and got to see mayan ruins (small ones) a very unique cemetary that had alot of history to it (i know kinda morbid but was still interesting) and a genuine mayan family, and we stopped by an old catholic church that was very beautiful and got to see a spanish dance performed by the most wonderfully cute kids! If you like offbeat (and we do) this is a good one to go on. this next time around we are going to chichenitza because that's one of the places my husband has always wanted to see and the kids think it looks just like the scenes from the cartoon movie Eldorado so that is why they want to see it. As far as kids I'm not sure, I won't know until july??

Have fun on your cruise! You won't be disappointed
