HumaBHS04 Posted February 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We will be cruising and be at Progreso on Cinco de Mayo. Does anyone know if there will be any celebrations going on there or on the carnival cruise? http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=253469 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briannejfl03 Posted February 20, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I went on a cruise a couple years ago and we were in Cozumel over Cinco De Mayo--and I was super excited, but we were all kinda disappointed b/c no one was really celebrating it. It was like the cruise passengers and tourists were more into celebrating it than the locals were. I guess Americans have kinda taken over that holiday....

hdawson Posted February 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Drop a line to http://www.yucatantoday.com and ask about celebrations in Merida. I'm sure there have been articles in their visitor's guide in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sailing on the Ecstasy? I think that's the only ship in port that day. Anyway, thanks for asking this. It completely slipped my mind that it was cinco de mayo. I hope you get some good info. Oh, if you are on the Ecstasy, we've got a roll call going if you want to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly is a non federal holiday, but it has a significative meaning for Mexico's history. Most of the cities in Mexico do not make special celebrations about the 5th of may, so do not expect to find FIESTA (party) around that day but you can make your own!
