Off the ship!
Since we were forced to go through customs and all, we got off the ship in Key West.
Day 8
Key West! If you look at the map, this is the craziest itinerary. We left Floriday, made 2 stops in Mexico and then back to Florida. Anyway, we started off the morning really early. They woke up the entire ship at 7am to go through customs on the ship regardess if we were getting off the ship or not. We had to see the customs officials. It was a huge pain!
Towel animal!
The lobster is so cute! I think the eyes make it.
Lunch
We had lunch by the pool. It was a very windy day You can kinda see the roof over the pool is nearly closed. I guess they thought the breeze would be too cold for the swimmers.
Day 7
Day at sea. No surprise where we were.
Working?
He insisted he was "having fun" but learning new work skills isn't fun for me. Whatever he likes...
On board
Even though we had never been to Costa Maya, we decided to stay on the ship again. It was Christmas and we were enjoying the rest and relaxation this vacation.
Our deck!
Our chairs were perfect today. We looked at the ocean and Cozumel, it was warm, there was a breeze, we had a bit of internet and we read books. It was a really great afternoon!
Closed
From what we could see from the ship, a lot of the stuff, that was close to the port, anyway, was closed.
Pictures
We took a few pictures but they were all from the ship so, not really exciting.
Day 5
Cozumel selfie! We got ready and went to breakfast. We thought about walking around Cozumel but we were going to decide in a while. We've been to Cozumel many, many times.
Quiet afternoon
Nearly every time we sat out here it was pretty empty. We were kinda wondering if the ship was full or not.
Reading
We spent most of the day here, reading, looking at the ocean and people watching. We were on the deck with the walking track so lots of people always passing by.
Relaxing!
In our chairs, outside of our room.
Cuba information
We were still a bit unclear on how going ashore in Cuba was going to work so we went to the talk about Cuba that morning to get more info.
Christmas Carols
They pass out hot chocolate and egg nog and everyone sings Christmas carols. Then they lit the Christmas tree. It's really nice. really nice.
