Crusin—5-7 Nov

The 5th of Nov began with rough seas on our way to Cozumel. It’s been a month now since the cruise and many details are gone from my memory. We were supposed to dock at 11AM but it was not to be. The wind and sea state were not favorable for our ship to make it into the harbor. The primary reason we booked this cruise was to see ruins in Mexico and now that was gone. It was disappointing but we made the best of it.
As soon as we got the news I booked lunch in the 5-star restaurant to give us something special to do today. The ship also was offering BOGO on their lemon drop bar drink. Penny set her sights on that, too. After lunch we went back to the cabin. We got out a couple books from the ship library. Instead of reading them we ended up napping. It seemed everyone took a nap that afternoon. Maybe they put something in the food. I actually fell asleep out on our verandah. The rough seas were affecting Penny more than me. She opted out of dinner but tried to take in that evening’s show. She had to leave the theater and go back to the cabin before the show really got rolling.

The boat rock and rolled all night but settled down some for the 6th, our at-sea day. It was time to pack up our stuff. We did take in a talk by the ship comedian about the secrets of comedy. It actually was a good talk.

Each morning I woke up to take pictures of the sunrise. We were already well into Tampa bay when I woke on this Sunday and I didn’t try for any sunrise pictures. After breakfast it was time to deboard. The whole process went smoothly and customs was only a short stop to check what we were declaring. We had 4 bottles of rum. We think only 2 were allowed but the customs agent just said, “Welcome back” and passed us on.

All in all a nice cruise and now we have to go on another to see some ruins.
