Cozumel is one of my favorite places. We always seem to pick an itinerary that makes a stop here and we have also done week vacations here. We. Love. Cozumel. As always, I was up early and out on our balcony to watch us arrive to this island. It is definitely going to be a beautiful day on the island.
After we watched the ship dock in port, we decided to go get some food and more coffee. We open the door and were completely surprised by what we saw!!! Some people from our Facebook Cruise Book had decorated our door. And there was a reason for the decorations. This cruise was just after the Texas Rangers made it to the World Series for the very first time. They were playing the St. Louis Cardinals. So, a friendly wager was made between myself and my friend Shawna. The winner would make sure the loser had a little something showing their team spirit. Shawna won. And I must say, she is a very delightful person!!! And her brother Michael, know how to decorate a door!!!!
While we were eating, Dawson decided he wanted some time on the waterslide since it wasn’t crowded. That boy really loved the slide!!!!
While Dawson was on the slide, I decided to walk around and take more pictures (like that is something new). I really enjoy spending time on an open deck just watching the area come to life. Plus it is fun to people watch!!!
Fernando did a little exploring as well.
Once we were able to get Dawson off the slide and cleaned up, we were finally off the ship. We took a taxi to Carlos N Charlies in town. This was also another first for Dawson. We ate our lunch and may have had a drink or 2 By The Yard! Then we walked to our friend’s restaurant to say hello to him. Tony Rome’s is just off the main square. Then we went back to the square to do some more shopping before heading back to the ship.
Apparently Fernando had a little fun in Cozumel too!!!
Once back on ship, Fernando got dressed since he finally has something that would be more appropriate in public.
As it was getting close to sail-away, we went to the Lido deck to take some more pictures of the area.
As we were pulling away from the pier, everyone noticed a group of men, on the pier with a lot of baggage. Sitting. Looking. Talking on their phones. It was the men that were on the ship working on the propulsion issue the ship was experiencing. I can only say “Thank You” to these men for working on ship so diligently.
The rest of the evening was like most of the rest… Dinner time, then bedtime.
The next installment will be all about our last sea day, or at least Fernando’s last sea day!!!
