Great pics. I love castles 🏰.

Leaving Cozumel.

I really liked that one.

I learned a new trick getting in the hot tub in the Solarium! Instead of using the stairs I transfer over from the side! Sit down on the side, spin around and then slide into the hot tub on the side! A little challenge but we were able to get in and out on our own!

Ice Odyssey was the name of the show. Something cool just happened. I was making this response in the Windjammer. I couldn't remember the song Reach so I YouTube it. I am about 1/2 way through the song and..... The song starts playing in the Windjammer! ... what are the odds! None of us remember the Song being in the show. Several songs from Tommy. We were on Voyager in 2011. Don't remember the show.

Cash Cow of the Seas.

Last night at the Ice Skating show they were playing music from Tommy. In the row in front of us a young lady, 30s, was loving it! When they started playing Pinball Wizard she turned around excited, gave me a huge smile and thumbs up! After the show I asked her if she grew up listening to this with her dad...... Yes! And I still have the cassette!..... I was happy she was having such great memories. BTW, the ice skating was great.

We are at the ice skating show. I have never noticed this before but they had a roped off corner section. When we approached the section the lady asked if we were diamond and then let us in. I don't remember a diamond section on other ships. Now with 5 minutes left they opened it up for the rest of the seats to be filled.

I haven't noticed anything but then again I had no plans to get off. I just tried to see if the app had info but the app is not working right now! Sharon found a place at port that will do a deep massage, 50 minutes, $65. If that was a ship offer I would probably do it.

You probably remember @brillohead escorting the drunks back to the ship. If I remember correctly they walked. I bet that was a challenge. I like using the one at Coco Cay too.

No, we are on Voyager. We were on Allure out of Galveston last January.

I am not sure why so late. I am not sure if the rough sea has slowed us down. It didn't feel like they slowed down. 😆 The app and I believe the original itinerary had an earlier arrival. Our paper planner showed the new time. I think boarding is around 6pm and sail away 6:30 pm. Many are already headed back. I just noticed the tram going for the first time. I don't understand why they don't use the tram to haul folks from the boat to the end of the pier.

It makes a difference doesn't it. Over 20 years ago we were chaperones for a youth group, including our older 2 DDs. We took them to Mexico City. We meet many that had just the very basics to get by. The cool thing was to see that they still enjoyed life! I believe it made a big difference in my girls, and us. In 2017 I visited Cambodia with anotherfriend. Some of the people we visited in rural areas lived in elevated open grass huts. They too were thankful for what they had. It is easy to take for granted what we have.

We have made it to Costa Maya. We didn't dock until 12:30 pm. As most know the pier here is long! The tram brought back memories of our January visit. On our way back last time I got on one side, stumbled to the other side where I landed on a rope that stopped me from falling the other side. If it wasn't there I am sure I would of landed in the water. I am relaxing in the Solarium. Sharon got off, got some dolls for the grand girls and is already back.

Top Gun was good. It was real windy so captions came in handy. After that we went to the show. I had my traditional Miami Vice. We are finishing breakfast in the Windjammer. This time I remembered the omelet station. Right now I am getting around with the Rollator to get some walking in. Headed out to enjoy the sun.

I love that. If we think about it, all of us here have been blessed with much more than our basic needs and for that we should be thankful. I am glad you are enjoying your adventure. BTW, we packed light this time so it looks like I will not be wearing a dress!

It's egg yoke from another egg. Tonight is formal night but we went to the Windjammer so we can watch Top Gun out by the pool. It is soooo windy out here. I need to stop posting before the phone is blown out of my hands!

Today has been great. After the Hot Tub I spent some time on the balcony while Sharon went shopping. While hanging out they brought a snack by the room.

I usually let them walk in front. They are enjoying not having to push the transport chair/rollator. I wish I had video of hitting the chairs out by the pool. At least noone was in them. I guess part of it was getting excited to get to the ice cream!

Breakfast in the Windjammer. Was able to get my Corn Beef Hash.

The charger that RC found and brought to us seems to be working. It is a challenge with the control on the right side. I have already ran over our Solo cruiser's toes and hit into some chairs. Although I am not getting what I want I am content. Life is better when we can be content. It's a blessing just to get out on a cruise. We were hanging out in the Solarium hot tube where I met another person from the area I grew up in Ohio. It was fun talking with him. When I went to leave I couldn't get out of the Hot tube! My new friend and a couple more others came over and helped me out! So many kind people.

We enjoyed dinner in the main dining. Started off with the traditional Shrimp. 🍤 They offered fried chicken with mash potatoes and corn on the cob. They said you could substitute a grilled chicken breast. I did the grilled chicken breast. It came out with different sides. The waiter was kind enough to take it back and get the original sides! The sauce in the cup was really good. Honey with Tabasco sauce. I loved dipping the chicken and mash potatoes in it. For dessert I went with the Boston Cream pie.

RC has made it to the room with a charger that is not made for this wheelchair but may work. We will see. At the worse the Rollator converts to a transport chair. The problem with that is someone has to push it. It will work out. We are pretty much over it now. Not going to let it ruin the cruise.

I have thought about it. Not sure I want to fly with it. I have heard to many talk about damage done to there wheelchair. Miami is a long drive. Right now it is a slim chance.

They never made it. And we waited in our room until sail away. ⛵️ So is life.
