Some resorts offer lockers and others do not. One thing you will find with the water in Progreso is that it is not very clear. It has a green murky look to it. (The water clarity in Cozumel spoils you) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky4 Posted September 27, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2007 it only takes one bad person...(I have been to Mexico but not Progreso). I have never had anything stolen but I always think it could happen. Just don't bring anything too valuable. I try to bring very little cash, enough for drinks and snacks. We always split the cash between us so if some gets lost or stolen the other person still has theirs. Bring a disposable camera which is fine for pictures on the beach and leave your expensive camera on the ship. The main thing is don't worry so much about this that it ruins your day...anything can be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually purchased a waterproof canister type thingy in Jamaica that i can wear around my neck while I am swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
