Carnival Valor Cruise Vlog 2019 - Part 6: Progreso, Yucatan Cenote, Mayapan Ruins - ParoDeeJay

[@briank7361]

the part with the camera shaking from the stink bug was hilarious. I am a larger fella also and my wife gives me he hardest time over my feet of bugs.:-)

[@jodura3363]

Of course Jay we thank you for sacrificing and staying on the ground to bring us the Pillars Wonders :)!! Way to go Dee...you are adventurous and awesome

[@parodeejay]

Gotta get all that stone column pillar footage, of course!! :P

[@jodura3363]

ParoDeeJay 😀😀😀

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

The stairs are fine...until you have to climb down them! I loved Dee's photos and couldn't believe the close-up of the bat - cool! How fun to see all the parts of the ruins, including the columns! Nicely done!

[@parodeejay]

Those columns were so fascinating, I just couldn't pry myself away from them... :P

[@usagiwasabi]

Loved this episode - very kind and respectful of you Jay to not directly film the funeral casket during the church visit ❤ Thanks to this episode, I'm looking to book with Yucatan Cenote this fall 😀

[@parodeejay]

Such a fun day! Yes, once we realized that we had almost crashed a funeral, we obviously decided to be respectful. Yow!!

[@harrismagoon6470]

Congratulations to the daredevils who successfully ascended and descended that treacherous, hardscrabble cobblestone ski jump of a stairway! Kudos to Jay for his good judgement by remaining on terra firma! That's where I'd be!

[@parodeejay]

With my big ol' feet and lack of balance sometimes... no way I was shimmying up that thing, ha ha... :P ~Jay

[@younglady2789]

Brave Lady Dee! Climbing up those steep steps and all. Great video of your excursion!

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much! She was brave indeed but at least she made a new bat friend, ha ha... :P

[@fruitydrinksfl]

Agree Jay, solid ground

[@parodeejay]

Solid ground is my favorite! Haaaaah!! :D

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

WTG Dee climing that pyramid thingy...The views look amazing from up there. We have never went to Progresso and it looks very nice...like a calmer Cozumel. Thanks for sharing!

[@parodeejay]

She was dang brave climbing up that thang! And coming back down looked twice as scary!! :O

[@mike44b]

6:38 I was going to mention this.. Yucatan is where the asteroid hit that killed the dinosaurs and 70% of animals and plant life on Earth. It was a great run for the dinosaurs who ruled Earth for 165million years. Us upright humans are working on about 2 million years..

[@jlizardi5013]

It is interesting how all the Yucatan area archaeological sites are pretty similar in architecture, even the ones in Belize are similar. Great civilization that was. Great job guys!

[@parodeejay]

They really are! This was pretty similar to Altun Ha in Belize. Always fascinating though!! :D

[@mike44b]

13:59 Yea at the Pyramid of the Sun a little west near Mexico City the once sacrificed 80,000 people in 3 days.

[@mike44b]

14:48 Nice job Dee! Gotta climb it. When in Rome..

[@adavan3095]

Wow. Cool excursion. I might climb that if there was s slide on the other side to come down 🤣. I would be seriously terrified to climb down. Bravo to the brave souls that did it. Love living vicariously thru you all.

[@parodeejay]

Ooooh, a slide might have been fun. Why didn’t the Mayans think of that?! :P

[@betsybaldwin4342]

Way to Go Dee you rule

[@SuperMsKakashi]

Thanks Jay and Dee for another awesome video. I want to specifically thank Dee for saving me a trip up those stairs. Once she got to the top and showed the view I knew I will never go to the top in person. So thanks much for showing me what I would have missed. I even had a touch of vertigo, lol.

[@parodeejay]

Thanks for coming along with us, even if only digitally, hah... glad to share our fun!! :D

[@CheriAwesomeSunsetsTravel]

Wow! I really wish we would have did this Tour in Progresso! Congrats 🎉 Dee on Climbing up there!! We went to a different Mayan Ruins site when we did our All Inclusive in Cancun... We went to Chichen Itza! The Best Tour we have Ever Done!! Thanks for Sharing!! 😊

[@parodeejay]

Oh nice! I remember Chichen Itza is the one I used to always hear about as a kid. Supposed to be a great site! That’s awesome!! :D

[@ellennelson9201]

Way to go Dee oh, I wouldn't climb those steps!! I love your ruin spins Jay. Rock on.

[@parodeejay]

She shimmied right up that thang, ha ha... I think coming down was the hardest part... yikes!!

[@gileckert696]

Nxt time go see the salt flats with all the beautiful flamingos

[@parodeejay]

Aha, I didn't know they had those in Progreso. Nice! We saw the salt flats in Bonaire and that was awesome!! :D

[@WickedWonder1979]

As someone that trips on nothing, there's no way I'd climb those ruins. Unless you want footage of me falling! Very pretty. Thanks!

[@parodeejay]

As someone with very little coordination and balance from time to time, I was staying on that dang solid ground, ha ha... we were proud of the three tributes that volunteered to climb to the top though!! :P

[@herewearewithawildarobert1834]

Thx for staying on the ground, Jay. Great pilar footage!❤️🚢

[@parodeejay]

Bringing all that important pillar and column content!! :P

[@tattooedauntie1269]

Thank you for your service Dee and Rob and Carl to climb that huge ruin hahaha great footage!

[@parodeejay]

They some crazy fools, ha ha... :P

[@AdventuresofDavidandAaron]

Who needs a gym membership when you have these stairs. Great vlog thanks for sharing. Sincerely Adventures of David and Aaron

[@parodeejay]

#truth :D

[@nancylee908]

Yikes, those steps! Great job, Dee!

[@tammy_oh_nevermind]

That was awesome! No way would I have risked that climb! I'm a big chicken. 😬 Way to go Dee!! 💖

[@parodeejay]

She climbed right up that bad boy... daaang!! :D

[@darlenecrone5585]

??????? Once again I'm following in your footsteps. My daughter and I are doing the excursion you did . Very excited. ? Do we just wear swimwear and cover up or is there a place to change so we can just wear normal clothes? You have saved me time after time. Big thanks.

[@meganmartin6694]

I'm with Jay I just can't claim like Dee she very adventurous

[@alinelson2]

Hi Dee and Jay!!! Those were definitely real ruins!! Nice video!! Hugs!!

[@parodeejay]

Yes, they said they were "restored" but definitely real. That's awesome!! :D

[@paulapratt9903]

This made me nervous watching Dee climb that huge ruin. I wouldn't have done it and I have tiny feet! 😁

[@alwayswatching84]

Cool ruins! No way would I climb up those steps. Way to go Dee!

[@laurasc84366]

Looks like climbing down was much more tramatic..lol

[@parodeejay]

Yeah true, the journey down would freak me out a lot more! Yowza!! :D

[@AdventuresAhead]

Those are some steep stairs! Good call in letting Dee climb them lol

[@parodeejay]

Yeah really... she volunteered and ran right up those things... pssssshh!! :P

[@sonyah5081]

Save the sea turtles Jay. Thanks for sharing.👍😊

[@parodeejay]

#pahhhhh

[@NoisyLittleCampers]

Thank you for doing these vid.s

[@parodeejay]

Thanks for tagging along, at least digitally!! :P

[@sherrakuestersteffen6007]

Great video, but I’m really surprised they allowed people to climb on the ruins. Over time, aren’t they just going to get worse? I would have thought they would want to keep them as intact as possible

[@parodeejay]

You would think so! I'm sure a lot of portions have been restored, hopefully including those stairs, so maybe they're not original at least!! :P

[@rmirandagrajales]

Very brave.... by eating those precut fruits 😳

[@parodeejay]

Not gon' lie, I was a little worried, ha ha... :P

[@dasilva_4572]

Is it possible that you can tell me what are the names of the excursion for carnival so I can book it on my next trip. Love you guys videos.

[@parodeejay]

Our Progreso excursion was booked independently outside of Carnival, through a company called Yucatan Cenote. The exact one we did was called "Burrito Grande" hah...

[@dasilva_4572]

@@parodeejay thank you so much. we are going to do the excursion.

[@carolyngardner4999]

Ya right Jay ! Big chicken. 🤣😂😭😭

[@denised1704]

Oh my goodness...I felt like I was up there with Dee. Scary 😰

[@parodeejay]

She was dang brave shimmying up to the top of that thing, ha ha... :P

[@paulapratt9903]

Jay.. what camera are you using?

[@parodeejay]

Same one we've had the past few years. I put our gear list in the description of every video for the curious, ha ha... our main cam is a Canon G7X Mark II. :P

[@Christianrose1974]

How much was the tour?

[@parodeejay]

This was a private tour, which was $600 for the day. Split among 6 people, $100 each. But they have quite a few options that they can tailor to your individual needs.

[@Christianrose1974]

ParoDeeJay Thanks so much for the reply/information. I really enjoy you guy’s vlogs.

[@tinaabernathy7026]

What’s the name of the excursion. Would love to check it out

[@parodeejay]

Carl booked it directly with a company called Yucatán Cenote, and that particular one was called “Burrito Grande”.

[@kmak5345]

That was awkward , Dancing Dee seen beating hasty retreat from Church , run Jay , switch of the camera , ☹️☹️ The pitch forks are out run

[@parodeejay]

It was slightly awkward going from "hey, pretty church, ooh I hear singing" to "oh, that's a casket" and trying to respectfully beat feet back to the van!!

[@scottscaneh]

"Cenotes" is that like 100 dollar bills

[@parodeejay]

Gimme all those C-notes!! :D #MoMoneyLessProblems

[@stephaniejefferson9192]

They should have skipped the church that day with a funeral going on and all🤦🏼‍♀️💀📸

[@parodeejay]

I think our guide was as surprised as we were, but we tried to be respectful and turn right around once we realized what was going on!!

[@riri-rose]

Ikr I hope ringing that church bell was a part of the funeral service and not just someone ringing it just because

[@mommabird2813]

Ugh dragon fruit, my bird eats dragon fruit.
