I don't think the number reported (23) is accurate. My program alone, IFSA-Butler in Mexico has 18 enrolled as full-time students at UADY for this Fall. These are all from the U.S. Thank you for checking the accuracy of your information.

It's 400 more cruise ships diverted from Majahual to Progreso over the season, which probably means Progreso will see five or six cruise ships on an "in-port" day instead of three. And the in-port days will probably be staggered, so the impact will be lessened. Just so nobody misunderstands, that’s not 400 more cruise ships a day.

When we stopped on a cruise at Progresso, there were three, and there was quite a bustle. We loved our tour of the countryside and Merida, but with that many ships in town, it is going to be gringoville, if the ships don't skedaddle because of Felix. Thanks again for the extraordinary postings on this site. Holy moly, four hundred cruise ships?
