The girls taking more pictures

Cozumel offers plenty of photo ops

[cruisewithwife]

Then over to 3 Amigos for some fun pictures

Had to get a family photo

[cruisewithwife]

Time to walk through the last shops to get back on the ship

Almost back to the ship

Last looks of Cozumel

We got back to the room and it was a divide and conquer approach. First thing we called in some room service, then DW got the girls in the shower to start getting ready for dinner.  I headed up to the lido to see what was good to bring back for food up there.  I had to get some shrimp tacos for sure as these are one of my favorite things on the cruise

I also found us some random hings off of the buffet to have

Of course I had to grab a few things from the dessert bar to try as well

 

[cruisewithwife]

I made it back and shortly after knock, knock....room service had arrived perfect timing.

We enjoyed our food and were able to get ready for dinner.

[cruisewithwife]

Here is the night's dinner menu

 

[cruisewithwife]

They brought us our cheese plate to start off with our bread which is always delicious

Then we had the meatballs which are very good

The girls had some tortilla soup

Tonight was also the spring rolls which are amazing

The girls enjoyed the baked ziti which is always a fan favorite for us

I had the steak tacos which looked good but were disappointing the meat was not that tender

I also had the veal parmesan which was good but a little dry

DW had the fish which she thought was good

[cruisewithwife]

While we were eating dinner we experienced something we had never had happen on a cruise they came across all intercoms calling for medical team to report to a certain state room immediately.  We didn't think much more of it until the next day which I will get to later in the review.  Before we could get to dessert though it was showtime.

Dessert menu for tonight

I tried the chocolate trese leches which was not very good

Good thing I had some apple pie as a backup

DW tried the Praline cake which was ok

Can you guess what the little one had....chocolate melting cake with double ice cream

[cruisewithwife]

After dinner we headed over to the Hasbro Game show.  The girls enjoyed watching this

After that we took the girls to Camp Ocean.  They were going to do the Night Owls tonight which you pay a little extra for.  The oldest they were having a party so it was $15 to be there from 10-1.  The little one we had to pay per hour but it is only like $7 an hour which is super cheap for care going from 10-1 that is available.  After dropping them off we walked upstairs to grab some hot chocolate and lemonade and scoped out the buffet as well

 

[cruisewithwife]

It was time to head to the part we always look forward to on a cruise the Love and Marriage show.  

They always have the couple that has been married the longest and the shortest go up and then they look for a couple that is somewhere in the middle.  This cruise they had a few so they did a kissing contest to see who would come on stage and it got a little wild.

It turned out to be a very funny show as always cuz you never know what to expect.

[cruisewithwife]

After that we went over to the late night comedian which was a very good show.  It was now closing in on midnight so we picked up the girls from camp ocean.  It was nice that it was right next to the comedy club on this ship.  The oldest had a blast during their party.  The youngest was pretty much sleeping as they had movies and blankets out.  We made it back to our room and it was time for some sleep as we had a sea day tomorrow.

[cruisewithwife]

We slept in a little bit and then decided to head up to lido for some breakfast and relaxation.

After eating some food I took the girls over to Camp Ocean so they could play for a while and we relax by the pool.  However Camp Ocean was closed due to the Dr. Suess breakfast.  In the process we came across thing 1 and thing 2

Quick stop upstairs to grab a few cups of ice cream to make a root beer float and back by the pool

[cruisewithwife]

While sitting by the pool it seemed like we were moving at a very good clip in the morning.  Then shortly after an announcement came across that we would be arriving late to Mobile tomorrow.  There had been a medical evacuation in the middle of the night from the person they said they needed assistance for while we were at dinner.  We had went towards Cancun in the middle of the night and we were not going to be able to make up enough ground to get back in time.  So bonus for us some extra time on the ship.

After relaxin we headed to the Sea Day Brunch.  Below is the menu

We were able to get a seat by the window again

  

[cruisewithwife]

DW and the girls had some tomato soup

They also like the fruit plate with cottage cheese

I of course got the Hey Pork Chop which is amazing and the steak and eggs with double steak.  I cannot say it enough this is the best steak you will have on the ship

DW got some eggs benedict

[cruisewithwife]

After eating lunch we headed up to lido for the chocolate extravaganza 

Overall I didn't think any of the desserts were that amazing.  We also grabbed a few samplings from the buffet and headed to the back of the ship to relax

 

[cruisewithwife]

We grabbed a few cups of ice cream and headed down to the coffee shop to sit.  Can you guess what the cups of ice cream were for?

Every cruise we talk about getting carrot cake and either don't get it or they run out when we want it.....well this time we were successful.

We also got a slice of the chocolate cake to all share.  Grandpa bought these thank you

They were serving some stuffing on the buffet that day too that was really good which I brought some down to eat while we relaxed

[cruisewithwife]

We did some relaxing around the ship and the girls went to camp ocean one last time.  When they checked out this time they got a bag and to keep their name tag.  We all got ready for dinner and here is tonight's dinner menu.

[cruisewithwife]

It is so great when you have an awesome wait staff.  They asked if we wanted our cheese plates again which we said of course.

The oldest wanted some cheese pizza for dinner

For appetizer we had the braised ox tongue...which this is amazing.  It is very tender

I also had the cannelloni 

I had the grilled beef tenderloin

I also had the beef skewers which were ok

 

The little one had some fried chicken

 

DW had the salmon cakes and ribs

[cruisewithwife]

Tonight's dessert menu

Before we could order it was showtime

The girls got up to dance with them tonight

[cruisewithwife]

Here is videos of the singing and dancing on the last night

Excellent review and thank you!

[cruisewithwife]

I went for the baked Alaska and a banana split tonight

We stopped back by the room quick here was a picture of one of the things the youngest made at camp ocean

We grabbed some drinks and I got myself a Miami Vice with my complimentary drink and headed to the show

Tonight's show was a country show which we had never had one of those on any of the previous ships we had been on

The little one was super tired and couldn't make it through the show

The show was ok but as we thought the whole time the performers on the Fantasy were not as good as the other ships we have been on.

Excellent review and thank you!

Glad you are enjoying...took a little longer to get the whole thing done then originally planned

[cruisewithwife]

After the show we finalized our packing and had our luggage put outside for pickup over night.  The girls went to bed and I headed around the ship.  I stayed up for the midnight drawing at the casino for a free cruise which I did not win but was standing right next to the guy who did.  After that I headed to bed as tomorrow we were getting off the ship and it would be Thanksgiving
