Rare KmomChicago Posted August 9, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hello, I have a lengthy pre-cruise thread separate here on CC and it took me a day and a half to get it together onboard the ship. We’re down on deck 5 in a Premium Interior which is small but efficient and cool. It’s Monday morning. We’ve all been on the ship since Saturday and we’re docked in Cozumel now. I’ll get photos on here per our own travels or requests. Had steakhouse dinner first night, Sea Day brunch yesterday, Big Chicken this morning. Masks are being worn but not to the point of confrontation with crew. I’m glad we came, as the masks are not enough of an issue to cancel. It’s way too hot outdoors for them but they aren’t expected out there. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted August 9, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2021 If possible, could you verify that there are some new additions to the lunch options at Cucina del Capitano? Had briefly seen on a YouTube video mozzarella sticks, two soups and something else added. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We then have two more sea days and I’d like to do lunch at Cucina and Chibang those days. I’m up late for this cruise oddly but should be on an earlier schedule by then. I will get as much info as I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOIN2C Posted August 9, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Is there transportation from the ship to terminal in Cozumel?. It could be a difficult walk for some and it looks like MG is dicked at far end Edited August 9, 2021 by GOIN2C 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think anyone has as yet. We drove down from my dad’s home in Volusia county which means we came down 95. There’s a big new garage at terminal 3. They are fairly wide spaces but you don’t get to select your space. It’s Disney World style with a worker directing you to the next space in the line. We had to prepay $130 to get in the gate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniff, I wanted one. I think there’s some for sale at pixels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted August 9, 2021 #18 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Having read your pre-cruise thread and have the same itinerary at end of November,enjoying your thoughts. Great tip on Terminal parking. We may do an offsite parking but even at $130 it's cheaper than Miami. How was Big Chick for Breakfast? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No biggie, we'll just go to Big Chicken. A grilled Shaq Attack has been calling to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBraves Posted August 9, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Can the QR codes be used to place a food order in advance so that you can just "grab & go", or are the codes only to see a menu? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big chicken is very good. Any of the fried chicken sandwiches for breakfast or lunch are good and the fries are flat cut and fresh fried, very well seasoned (salt +mild spices). Best fries I’ve had in years. Chicken pieces are just delicious, Shaq sauce is nom nom nom. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
