MrMike45 Posted April 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Leaving for Bermuda on Sunday on the breakaway. Just realized that Monday will be May 5th/Cinco de Mayo. Has anyone cruised during this time, ncl specifically I guess. Do they do anything special? Specialized party for that night. Or maybe half priced coronas or tequila :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Ranger Posted April 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2014 More specifically has anyone seen any Tequila fueled craziness, similar to Spring Break craziness ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrrlMeetsWrrld Posted April 30, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2014 We're were staying at a very nice resort in Riviera Maya last year, and they did NOTHING! Apparently, it' s'more of a big deal in the US than it is in Mexico. I asked some staff about it, and they said it's mostly just a regular day. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Beaver1975 Posted April 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Isn't this some kind of Mexican anniversary? What does it have to do with Bermuda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMike45 Posted April 30, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Nothing really. But I assume cruises that take place over Halloween, they have a Halloween costume party. And cruises that take place over St. Patty's Day, they have "green" party. Bermuda/Carib have nothing to do with either of them. Just figured they might have a party based on Cinco de Mayo.

ColinIllinois Posted April 30, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Isn't this some kind of Mexican anniversary? What does it have to do with Bermuda? Cinco de Mayo commemorates the battle victory of the Mexican army over the Canadians outside of the city of Hamilton in 1977. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted April 30, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Living a few miles from the Mexican border, I can tell you it is much bigger along the border states (U.S. States) than in Mexico. Here is some info: Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a celebration held on May 5. It is celebrated primarily in the United States[1]. There is a similar celebration in parts of Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla,[note 1][2][3][4] where the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla).[5][6][7] It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War,[8][9] and today the date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.[10] In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.[3][11] Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16.[3][12] Not much chance it will be celebrated on the ship.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
