Anyway, let's get back to the cruise. The first day, we were just at sea and it was super turbulent. I don't do well with motion like that and there were several times when I thought I was going to throw up. Both kids really enjoyed being outside all day and it was not hot at all on the boat. They loved having pizza and grilled cheese when ever they wanted it. Being on the boat wasn't all that wonderful b/c you're just in the same place. Our first stop was in Progresso, Mexico. When we got off at the port, they had a little shopping plaza set up with a bar but we weren't interested in that...yet. We wanted to go see the ruins and it was amazing! We took a guided tour of the ruins and it was so neat to hear all about the history of the Mayans and Spaniards. The tour ended at this really cool natural lake that was used for farming and water. Of course, we let the kids play and the water was certainly welcomed after the heat. My ILs took the kids back to the boat and Josh and I stopped at the bar and had a few drinks, laughed at the old ladies dancing to "back that ass up" and just enjoyed one anothers company. Then, we were out to sea again, but only for the night. The next morning, we arrived in gorgeous Cozumel (our next all inclusive spot, according to the hubby). We had reservations at an all inclusive resort for the day. To say it was wonderful is an understatement. Josh, my BIL, his GF and I went snorkeling. We hung out on the beach and the kids swam in the pool and played in the sand. The water was stunning! We all hated to see that day come to an end. Day 4...Thursday. My birthday! Josh was super sweet and got me a facial and massage. It was awesome to have a little time alone and being pampered made it that much better. We just lounged around the pool and let the kids play.
The food in the dining room at dinner time was awesome every night. Our servers, Victor and Evan, were amazing and super nice. The staff on the ship was superb and the service just as wonderful. If you asked for it, it appeared! The room was cleaned THREE times every day and towel animals were left at night with some chocolate (this was Conner's favorite thing).
Here's a ton of pics. Obviously the beach ones are Cozumel.[gallery link="file" columns="5" orderby="rand"]
