Denversail

First out tonight is jumbo coconut shrimp. The dining room is pretty empty tonight.

It was amazing. Such a great experience.

The ATV’s were intense. It was so much fun. The first few minutes were a little scary. I just thought screw it today is as good a day to die as any. I just leaned into and had a great time. I’ve never done any off-roading so I felt like I’d entered extreme sports. I would highly recommend. the caverns were pretty but I couldn’t get past the sulphur smell. It was just too strong for me. You could also cliff jump into the cavern if you wanted. I thought I’d been adventurous enough today and decided to skip it. they also offered unlimited tequila shots when we got back. My liver was still on hiatus so I skipped those. I heard others say the shots were really good. I was covered in dirt like completely covered. I did manage to forget my cash on my bed in the cabin. I didn’t realize until it was too late. I felt pretty bad not being able to leave a tip. Those guys work mainly for tips. I have to be extra careful about these things when I’m on my own since I don’t have anyone to cover me. I also grabbed some fish taco from tequila go go right on the pier. When I got off the ship I realized I was starving so gulped those down before meeting for the excursion. They were pretty good. sorry no pics at the moment. They are on a different device and I’m too lazy right now to attempt to sync.

So i am someone who goes to restaurants by myself all the time. I enjoy it. It gives me a chance to just chill and relax. I originally had my time dining and the times were just too late for me. They would not change it precruise when I called. The first thing I did when I boarded was go to the dining room to switch to early dining. The time worked better for me and I would be able to just walk in without waiting in line. He did want to put me at a shared table and I declined and requested the 2 top. No issues.

So I got the dreaded balcony maintenance card on my door last night. We will see if they are still working when I get back later. I can hear powertools being used somewhere but haven’t seen anyone yet. the time is super confusing. Cozumel is one hour earlier. Excursion tickets are on ship time. When I booked it was local time so again just confusing. About my room… I hate the location. I’m forward starboard and nothing is on the forward part of the ship. I think it is the spa and adventure ocean. This has caused me double the steps. I’m looking forward to moving to port aft next week. My back was killing me yesterday so it was difficult to walk far distances and stand for long periods. Luckily the pain is gone today and I’m ready to conquer the ATV.

Carnival Breeze coming in late

Our neighbor today

Good morning from Cozumel. Last night is a bit of a blur. My liver is angry this morning. I guess that will happen after drinking for 15 hours straight. I vaguely recall losing a bunch of money in the casino. It must have seemed worse than it was cause I had a bunch of cash still when I got up this morning. I also keep finding chips so I didn’t go broke. The liver is going to take a well needed rest day. I’m sure she will be ready to play again this evening. Today is ATV and Jade Caverns. This is a first for me and am excited to try it. I hope to get in a little shopping as well. The weather is nice. It is going to be a fun day. Fingers crossed I don’t injure myself. 🤞

That tenderloin was delicious. Spot on. The matre’de also stopped by to ask me what my dining preferences are for next week. I thought that was a nice touch.

Entree is beef tenderloin.

Next was the wedge. It was fine. I think some blue cheese on it would have made it a winner.

The waitress just asked me if I don’t drink. 🤣🤣 I’m pretty drunk today, I’ve been going since 9 am. I’ve never been a fan of eating while iI’m drinking. Next up in French onion soup. Pretty good.

The menu tonight looks good. First up was calamari. It was okay.

I hated it. The waiting was putting me to sleep. It is far from regular blackjack. I bet big and was out in 2 rounds which wouldn’t have been a big deal if I hadn’t waited 45 minutes. One and done for me.

Thanks! Honestly I’m falling asleep waiting. I d never entered one before. If I’d realized how long it takes and how much waiting is involved I would have skipped it.

I happened to be in the casino when they were starting the blackjack tournament so I decided why not. We shall see what happens.

The captain announced that the person dropped in Fort Lauderdale yesterday is stable. 👏👏 The weather is super nice. The Captain says the weather is just going to get better from here.

The salad was delicious. I made an awful mess tossing it though.

Dropped into park cafe for a salad since I was right here. I was disappointed that they don’t toss the salad.

Haha… you all are my traveling partners this week. I love the participation. Please post all you’d like and ask any questions. Trust me.. I understand obsessing more than most. 😁 Currently just chilling in Central Park. This area is heaven if you can find a spot in the shade. Had to have another mint berry delight. Delicious.

The ships internet… I wasn’t sure when I started this “live” that I’d be able to do it. I saw a lot of complaints on cruise critic about not being able to load pages and upload pics. We are day 3 and I’ve had zero issues. I haven’t streamed or attempted anything with video. I have a single device package and have been switching between two devices constantly. All my internet (cruise critic), news, stocks have been on my IPAD. When I need to make a phone call I switch to my iPhone. No problems or complaints.

It was salty and spicy. I drank half of it. I didn’t expect to like it. The only time I order a margarita is in a Mexican restaurant when the bar only has tequila.

So I dropped into Playmakers and ordered a gold post margarita. I’m not gonna lie, I’m not sure I’m going to like this one but I’ll try it. i didn’t realize they have an owners box you can reserve. It is $100 and is good for one game with 10 person capacity. It includes 2 pitchers of beer and 2 appetizers. If you are a big sports fan and your game will be on during your cruise seems like a great deal. The box has two large screen tvs in it.

I was just chatting with my mama on the phone and she mentioned Vintages. Now I’m not a wine drinker but am intrigued as I’ve never been and I don’t hear it talked about much. I have seen one video that showed the food (not included in UDP) and it looked pretty good. Im going to find out the hours today and see if I can get in there and sample some of the offerings. I did get a text last night from my mom after she read here. She would be fine with me going to playmakers. Permission granted. 🤣🤣

The captain came on a little while ago and said our weather will be improving as we get closer to Cozumel. 95% of the pool chairs were occupied by towels within an hour of the sun breaking through. Tip… I was just speaking with a woman who said the rocking of the ship last night made her very ill. If you are feeling seasick just go to guest services and they will give you medication for free to help you feel better. I really like sitting over by the aqua theater. Lots of seating in the shade and not many folks when a show isn’t on.
