Shadowmeboy's Escape to the Western Caribbean!

[shadowmeboy]

So we arrived at our excursion of choice!

 

Mr Sancho's Beach Club

 

 

 

We got a spot near the water toys, because Susan and Mom wanted to go on them. It is an additional cost but wasn't bad.

Francisco was our awesome server!

 

 

 

We quickly headed out into the water. The club was really empty at first but filled up later.

 

 

Selfie time!

 

 

Checking the settings

 

 

these birds were smart.

 

If you ordered French Fries, they would steal any unattended fries. Later a shrimp was left unattended, and I saw one chowing down on that.

 

[shadowmeboy]

 

I went out in the water to see what I could see.

 

 

 

 

 

[shadowmeboy]

 

After a little bit in the water, I went and relaxed at the table.

 

Mom and Susan were attempting the water toys

 

 

 

 

 

Susan finally got up with the help of Mom.

 

 

They were a little disappointed in it. It was popular with younger kids though.

I ordered some Shrimp Ceviche

 

 

Shrimp Cocktail

 

 

we then headed for the pool.

 

 

the swim up bar was popular

 

 

You could purchase pictures holding iguanas and/or parrots.

Margarita

 

 

Susan got a fruit drink of some sort.

Steak Diane

 

 

Grilled Salmon

 

How was the Steak Diane?

[shadowmeboy]

 

 

Shrimp Tacos

 

 

Beef Tacos

 

 

Fish Tacos

 

 

Did we mention we like tacos?

 

Guacamole and Chips

 

[shadowmeboy]

How was the Steak Diane?

 

The steak was tender, not too fatty. It was seasoned well. The mushroom gravy added the right texture to the whole dish. I added the corn in addition to the broccoli it came with.

[shadowmeboy]

Enjoying my tacos, way too much!

 

 

Seafood Ceviche

 

 

We found the pool to be excellent. The surf was a little rough and the climb out of the water was somewhat difficult. Dad wouldn't have made it. So we spent more time in the pool.

 

 

 

 

the pool started to fill up.

 

[shadowmeboy]

The drinks were flowing...

 

 

the music started playing

 

 

 

The conga line formed

 

 

 

Susan thinks it was some family celebrating a Quinceanera.

 

We finally were tired and packed up to head back.

 

[shadowmeboy]

we did some shopping at the port area. Susan was freaking out because we had peso's left over. She still doesn't know about our Mexican Riviera cruise in December. I knew we could use them then, but I couldn't let that on otherwise she would find out before her Birthday.

 

 

 

Cozumel from the ship.

 

 

 

 

Susan in her very nice dress tonight!

 

[shadowmeboy]

Following Carnival out of Cozumel.

 

 

 

Susan wanted a pre-dinner drink from 5 o'clock somewhere.

 

 

I got one too!

 

 

Pictures again!

 

 

This is us to a T. I am the goofy one, and she is the serious one.

 

 

[shadowmeboy]

Trying to act all innocent.

 

 

 

We wandered around before our dinner reservation.

Susan, I found the Bake shop.

 

 

 

When we went to Moderno before, Susan was disappointed that the cod was no longer on the Moderno Menu. Ramesh Naik the Assistant Maitre D' in charge of Moderno promised her Sea bass if we came back. Well we came back because we love Moderno. As we walked in, we hear a voice saying "are you following us?" I turn around and Trace and Maria are coming up to us. we great each other and we ask if they are dining at Moderno too. They say yes. I suggest getting a 4 person table and enjoying each other's company,. They agree. So we sit together for Dinner.

 

 

 

 

I explain how Moderno works to the Moderno virgins. We have the server come and he says almost to a T what I had just explained. So we all go and get salad at the salad bar.

 

 

 

 

The meats come around. I spot the Pineapple and wave the guy down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all thought the pineapple was excellent. Trace loved the bacon wrapped Meats.

Dessert Menu

 

 

Traditional Flan

 

 

Papaya Cream

 

 

Trace loved his Tres Leches Chocolate Cake

We headed up to the stateroom to grab the necessary items for the rest of tonight! We found this guy waiting!

 

 

The Brat Pack was on the agenda for tonight!

 

 

 

 

[shadowmeboy]

We loved how it incorporated all the movies we saw as young kids.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[shadowmeboy]

During the show, we were watching but prepping because tonight was the Glow Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

this is what we were doing at the end of Brat Pack, getting ready for the Glow Party.

 

 

Tyler all decked out for the glow party.

Susan and I loved the Glow Party.

 

Matthew's thoughts on the Brat Pack: I loved this show. It kept you interested, and incorporated quite a few good movies. While I may not have watched all of them in their entirety, I knew enough to follow along. The cast was great and all the movement and running was unexpected. I also love how Tyler has a part in this show! A++

Very nice entertainment photos. I cant't wait for our Escape cruise in a couple of months! You're review is really getting me excited.

[js]

Thank you again for your review and pictures. I check at work if you have added more and at night when home.

 

We are leaving tomorrow for Escape and sent an email to Little French Key asking about the change in pick up area. Thank you again. There is no way I would have gotten into a cab at the pier for LFK if all the material and emails I have read gives the instructions to leave the area.

 

Ill be reading up until tomorrow night. Thanks so much for all the time you take to take the pictures and post.
