      I'm curious about where the ship (Ecstasy) will dock in Progreso.  On Google Earth, I see what looks to be a dock about 4 miles off the coast of Progreso connected by a road/bridge.  Is this where it docks?

       

      Thanks,
      David

      Yes, we just got back and it docks on a dock about 4 miles out (Its more like the end of a 4 mile pier). When you get off the ship there is a small shopping area. Walk through the area and there are free shuttle buses to Progresso. The free bus drops you off  about a block from the beach. At the drop off area, you can board a double decker sight seeing bus for $2. I highly recommend this. You get a nice tour of the area and can orient yourself. After the bus tour we walked down to the beach -- free, so wear your bathing suit-- then has a snack at one of the seaside restaurants. Then back to the free shuttle back to the ship.
