Tonight we went to the Taste Restaurant which was very similar to the Savor Restaurant we went to on day 1.

After dinner we went back to our room, watched a movie and called it a night. On our way to our room we met a lady with unusual flip flops, she graciously posed for me.

Enjoying your review! On NCL did you just prefer to eat at the charge restaurants or was there a reason you didn't want to eat at the included dining room? Forgive me if you mentioned this already.

With NCL and the Free at Sea promotion they have you can chose one or more of the following depending on the room type your booked in and its included in your price:

- Free Drinks

-Free Speciality Dinning

-3rd/4th Guest Sail Free

-Free Wifi

-Shore Excursions

 

Not sure if the OP chose the speciality dinning, but if I had to guess Im thinking thats maybe why they ate at the speciality restaurants so much.

We actually chose the Canadian Money at Par and therefore we did not have the Free at Sea promotion available to us. We paid for 4 Specialty Dinning.

We love Mr. Sanchos, we'll be going back next time we are in Cozumel.

If you don't mind me asking, have you even tried Nachi Cocum in Cozumel? We've been there twice. Just looking for a comparison between Nachi Cocum and Mr Sanchos. Nice review, thanks for the hard work.

No we haven't been to Nachi Cocum. I looked it up and the basic price is the same $55 per person. If I read it correctly Nachi Cocum has a 4 courses lunch while Mr. Sanchos food menu is available all day as well as the 2 buffets are open all day.

Also a big fan of nachi cocum - mostly due to the fact that they limit the # of people allowed in (I think to 125? but I have never seen more than 50-60 people there) - very relaxed atmosphere and more than enuf food - can never eat all the courses and drink service to your 'palapa/lounger' is excellent :)

We started our 7th and last day by going to the gym since we missed the last 2 days because of excursions. We skipped breakfast because we had reservation for ‘Wine Lovers the Musical’ at lunch time. The show is the story of two people at a wine class who fall in love. As the actors taste, so does the audience. It also includes a three course meal. Cost $25 per person.

After our workout we went and tried the rope course. It was better than the one on Vista.

I kept telling Tracy to let go of the harness, if you fall it will catch you

I was pleased to see that the male actor was the same guy who played Jerry Lee Lewis in the ‘Million Dollar Quartet’. Overall an excellent show, the meal was good and Tracy and I learnt a few things about wine.
