Ice Skating Show tonight in Studio B.  Cool Art...Hot Ice.

 

 

 

I'm sure I've seen these costumes on another ship:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a really good show with great music and execution by the cast was perfect.

As always, amazing pictures and videos! Perfect timing... we will be on Adventure for the first time on March 28!

How do you get those incredible videos and pictures off the boat? A  360 Camera???

Looking forward to a great review, thanks @twangster

Catrina is a short walk from the port, approximately 5 minutes beyond the gates.

 

Catrina was built during the pandemic.

 

 

Mango Margarita.

 

 

Chicken Tacos.

 

 

Classic Margarita

 

 

Twin sisters Jackie and Karla built Catrina and are working to finish the building soon.  Great food, great drinks and great company.

 

There are a number of hotel rooms and a pool.

 

 

 

 

It's a great place to hang out for the day and super convenient.  

Can you use the pool? Sounds like a good option for such a short port stop.

Twangster: Thanks again for taking us along!

Thanks Twangster for doing this post. We will be on Adventure doing the same itinerary on 04.15.2022. This will be our first time back on Adventure since we did a 14nite B2B of the Southern Caribbean. We are looking forward to the amplification done in 2018. Also the aft balcony cabins on this class ship are some of our favorites!

 

I too am interested in the type of 360 camera that you have and wondering how easy it is to use. Your pictures and descriptions are also point on.

 

We've only done 1 cruise of less than 7 nights but since we live in TX and can drive it will still be worth it. Can't wait to see the rest of your trip!

Day 4 - Cozumel

 

I woke up to discover we were already at the pier and joined today by Brilliance of the Seas.  I was just on her for Super Bowl and will be back on her next week in a corner aft balcony.

 

No plans today as I was just here and will be back next week.

 

Here are some quick pics of Giovanni's Table where I really like the decor compared to the darker theme many of the older Giovanni's have.  This is also where the the Pinnacle breakfast is hosted so it has been part of my morning routine.

Thanks for the review! We are booked on Adventure this coming Thanksgiving. The pics look very similar to Liberty.

The gym:

 

 

 

 

The Peekaboo bridge has been closed on this sailing but it's one of a few left in the fleet and can be seen from the gym.

 

 

 

 

 

Adventure still has the complimentary sauna and steam room within each change room.

Day 4 - Sea Day

 

Beautiful sea day on our way home.  I started going through these photos and began posting this thread from the ship.  I had $15 in OBC left over so I went to Johnny Rockets for lunch.
