Letโs talk about my room steward Shawn for a second. I think I previously mentioned that when I met him I told him to fit in my room during the shift he has the most time. Outside of passing pleasantries Iโve only had two other interactions with him. 1. Laundry. I wanted to get laundry done two days ago. I found him the night before and let him know. He gave me the bag and I asked if I could just leave by the door inside my room in the morning for him to pop in and grab. He said I will need to find him and give him the bag. Okay, I can do that. Now the next morning when I found him he asked for the form. Well Shawn you only gave me a bag. So I then had to go back to my room and dump out the bag to list everything on the form. This was a little stressful since I had an early excursion. I managed and all was well and took the bag again to Shawn. 2. Cabin move. This is where i get irritated and am not so quick to give a pass. I received my instructions for tomorrow and it stated that my steward would assist me with my cabin move. So I find Shawn this morning and ask him what time he wants to move my things. I get a โwell if you really need my assistanceโ. To the point where Iโm like if you can leave me a cart in the morning I can roll it to my new room. He responded, โI donโt use a cart I just grab everything and carry it over.โ He then stated Iโll need to find him again and if I want his help it needs to be before 10 am. He just really left me feeling like I was inconveniencing him. I have no complaints about how he serviced my room but I am disappointed that the two times I needed something additional he didnโt want to be bothered.

It is early afternoon on our last day of week 1. This has been such an enjoyable week. It just flew by so Iโm happy to have another week. Today is a sea day and although I slept the morning away Iโm anxious to enjoy some of the activities. I spent most of the day on the ship yesterday but the activities were limited due to it being a port day. I checked out the dance club last night. They were having it in studio b and the dance floor was packed. I was shocked I knew the songs. My favorite so far has been the guy in the pub (I donโt know his name). He is really good and really gets the crowd going. Iโll be stopping there tonight again. Good times.

maybe reading this will get you back on a cruise ship sometime in the next decade. ๐ It is a dry slide. You get in a bag that you steer. It is enclosed. It takes you from deck 15 down to deck 6. I will try it by the end of my trip. I think Iโll even get on the flow rider again before this trip is done. Hopefully no embarrassing video this time. ๐คฃ

Chocolate martini. Dessert in a glass. I only got this because Iโm starving. I tried stopping by the diamond lounge thinking I could get a snack. Even though they had appetizers out they had them roped off. My dinner time is in 20 minutes. I guess those apps are for folks with a later dinner time. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Anyways the martini was super yummy.

Regarding the appโฆ I noticed it never updated my calendar to my changed dinner reservations. I did really like that you could see the dining and bars that are currently open. This was really handy. I wish they would add in the ship activities like the slides, zipline, casino, etc. Iโve found it to be a pain trying to figure out when these are open.

I was going to try the Abyss slide but chickened out when I saw him explaining how to control the mat. Iโm sure Iโll find the liquid courage in the next week. I finally made it to sports area. Looks like fun. Flow riders were going. The bbq place looks good but it seems like they could have made the area smaller. El Loco Fresh seems smaller but a lot busier. I walked through around 1:30 and the line was long but when I came through again an hour later there was no wait. Random comments: Toilets: the only place Iโve noticed having problems in on deck 4. Theyโve addressed it quickly each time. All the public restrooms Iโve been in have been clean except when I went into one of the single restrooms. I canโt remember the deck but it wasnโt clean. Crowds: Iโve stood in line at Sorrentos a few times. Even when it has been long I havenโt waited more than two minutes. Iโve walked directly to my table every night so no issues there. Like I said Loco Fresh seems popular and a line forms but I havenโt eaten there. I havenโt waited more than a minute or two for bar service all week. I donโt know the passenger count this week but it seems the same to me as any other cruise. I havenโt had issues getting elevators. Rude people: Iโve only encountered maybe 3 rude people the entire trip. The few times Iโve seen kids not displaying manners their parents have corrected them. The kids Iโve encountered by themselves have been very well behaved. Weed: Iโve only smelt it once. It was in the evening in the pool deck. I havenโt typically been out there in the evenings so not sure if this was repeated nightly.

Got off the ship for a little bit to look around the port area. Tons of stuff to do right off the ship. They have a pool area, massages, bars, tons of shops. It is really hoppin. Fun for families and/or folks that want to party. it is pretty hot out there.they do have a tram running to take you to the end of the pier. I did chat with a guy that is on the Dawn. He said the ship, food, and crew are horrible. Yikes ๐ฎ

Good morning from Costa Maya, how are already at day 6? It seems like I blinked and this weeks cruise is almost over. Last night was a really late night and a losing one. Still way below budget so nothing to cry about. I had a lot of fun losing my money. The dealers on this ship know how to have a good time. I lasted longer than my Apple Watch. After 22 hours and over 1,000 steps she puttered out. Not sure Iโve ever outlasted my watch in one day or logged that many steps. Todayโs plan is to mostly stay on the ship. I do plan to get off the ship and do some shopping. I might also get something to eat on the pier. Iโll be taking a lot of pictures of the port area which I plan to post today. Norwegian Dawn is showing off her ass.
