Glory- day 2(Sunday at sea)

[bucketsofbeer]

Set the wake up call for 7 and went up to Lido deck by 7:30 to get good spot. Lots of charis available at main pool and aft pool. We decided to go to the aft pool. Put our stuff down and went to breakfast in shifts. Still lots of space while we ate breakfast. More and more people started to show up around 9:00, many families and kids. We just stayed in the sun and jumped in the pool when we got to hot. Drinks started flowing again, very good mudslides:D . About noon it was time to move, to much sun, so we just moved to a table in the shade and had lunch (cheeseburger and fries) with a bucket of beer to wash it down. Went back to the room and enjoyed the balcony for awhile, then decided on a power nap. Captains cocktail party and formal night, routine if youv'e been to one before, met captain and he introduced some of the other officers.

We had the 8:00 seating for dinner in the platinum dining room. We like this time because we can come back from the excursions and relax on the balcony for awhile. Our head waiter was Bernard from India, very good, great sense of humor and very quick getting all parts of the meal to us. Dinner tonight was lobster and shrimp, prime rib, those were the 2 main meals, sorry can't remember the rest. My friend ordered 5 lobsters and 5 lobsters he got. Prime rib was very good, dessert I had the Chocolate melting cake with ice cream OMG:D , this stuff was awesome.

Our friends turned in for the night and DW and I went to the casino for little while. Won some to use another night, but not great luck at the black jack tables.

Day 3 (Cozumel)

Breakfast was very crowded this morning, people sleeping a little later, we weren't arriving until 10:00. Pulled in to Cozumel right on time, looking out from the balcony as we came in saw some dolphins following us in, so cool, tried to get a picture but they were gone just as quick as they appeared. When we got off the ship we headed to Nachi Cochem Beach Resort. $49.00/person for the day, unlimited alcohol, 3 course lunch, palapas and chairs.

Got off the ship and went passed all the stores and grabbed a taxi for the 4 of us ($15.00). Arrived at resort, met by girl who took our picture (will sell it to you later), met Manuel our personal waiter. There were only 2 other people there when we got there. During the whole day not more than 20. After getting settled in our chairs the water sports people arrived. I did the waverunner which costs $60 for half an hour, it was a blast and I was really looking forward to it. My friend did the parasailing which I think was about the same price. We got that done early, then we just relaxed with some Sol beer out in the water (make sure to wear sunblock). Then we took a dip in the pool and used the swimup bar to enjoy a couple more drinks. The lunch was very good, too much food. We each ordered an appetizer( nachos, guacomole, chicken wings, french fries), then the main coarse, chicken tacos, enchilladas, and quesadias?.:D

Unfortunately we had to go, wife wanted to shop a little and we had to stop at Carlos and Charlies, lucky for us it was located right at the end of the pier, very convenient. Made it back on board, sat on the balcony and enjoyed sailaway,

Finish up later
