After a delay of nearly a year, the Pacific Dream finally has set sail, with passengers boarding either in Progreso (near Mérida) or Cozumel, calling at Montego Bay and Grand Cayman during its week-long cruises. Later this year, the route is scheduled to change, with the vessel calling at ports along Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Originally, the first season was scheduled for 2009, but postponement followed the flu scare.
Main market is Mexico itself. The Pacific Dream advertises that Spanish will be the first language aboard the Spanish-owned ship. Perhaps more important, passengers will not need United States visas. For Mexicans sailing along the Pacific coast, no passport will be required, although some official form of identification will be needed.
