One of those fancy drink things must have jumped overboard

 

 

 

 

 

[Sargent_Schultz]

Buh bye Imagination

 

[Sargent_Schultz]

Next it was time for the GPD Party (Gold, Platinum, Diamond - what a stupid name). There are some good bands on Elation.

This was some tasty steak on top of some mash potatoes

CD Jeff Bronson - he was pretty good

 

 

 

 

The some of the officers including the senior ones

 

 

 

 

They called up the few Diamond members and took pictures with the officers. They later gave use a nice binder with our picture and also one from the Captain's table. It was also autographed!

LOVE all of your reviews, and love your site.

CANT WAIT for you to come back and tell us EVERYTHING about little miss Sunshine. :)

Thank you for the great review and super pics. I always look forward to reading your reviews.

 

The pics taken looking out of your cabin window look very close to the water. Could you share what deck your cabin was located on? We stayed on the Upper deck when we sailed the Inspiration and I don't recall being this close to the water, but then again, it's hard to tell in a picture.

 

 

Also, just wanted to mention that this is the first time I have seen the baby-chick towel animal. It is really cute. :)

I'm glad to see they gave you a spoon with this. On the Dream, we were served this with NO utensils. Nothing like sucking mashed potatoes out of a ramekin! Actually, I used the orange peel from my drink garnish to dip out the potatoes. The guy next to me used the toothpick from his garnish!! I even asked the waitress about silverware and she told me there was none. I asked how we were supposed to eat this and she just shrugged her shoulders.

 

I did write about it on my e-survey. Glad to see they listened!

You're welcome. Empress deck.

 

There was quite the assortment of towel animals for a 5 day cruise.

Elation is a great ship. It was ranked number 1 in the recent customer survey results.

Some of the karaoke was really good and some was really not so good. After a while I decided to check out the Marriage Show which was hysterical. CD Jeff Bronson and the participants worked well together.

The next day was Progreso and pretty much the whole day was RUINED, uh, I mean Ruins! Uxmal was on the agenda.

 

But first a room service breakfast of champions! Hot tea, orange juice,..

 

 

 

and a BLT!

 

 

 

 

with some fruit

 

 

[Sargent_Schultz]

even with the long pier at Progreso, the water is still relatively shallow

At Uxmal, off to the right at the entrance is a gallery with before and after pictures of the structures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

etc.
