Sick of Cozumel, Royal why not Veracruz?

[gkbiiii]

I am wondering why Royal and no other line goes to Veracruz, Mexico?  It has much more to do, than Cozumel and has great history, including the US invasion which is enshrined in the US Marine song "from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli," which includes a modern city and historic Spanish forts.

Maybe the people of Veracruz don't want another American invation.

I would say that it’s the 800 to 1000 mile distance between the 2 ports.  It would be difficult to put together a different itinerary with Veracruz as a port stop.

Location, location, location.

I'm  sure the disneyesque port area cost millions on dollars to build

Galveston ships sometimes go to Progreso

Unfortunately, Veracruz is no longer the safest place to visit.

Look at the distance from Veracruz  to other potential ports and include the travel distance from home ports in the US and you will have your answer.
