Keep up the great work posting, loving all the pictures and food porn. I'm not so sure about the over-pricing, @Jimbo5544 posted that initial bookings were real good. Also, the cruises are at limited capacity. That real estate will be more desirable at full capacity.

 

I just looked today at our MG Thanksgiving sailing. It would seem that Cabanas 1-12 (all of them!) are available to book.

So I asked my room steward and he graciously got me one.

Also the movement has gotten progressively worse. You can feel it tonight.

Great pictures of the  Maya ruins.  Noticing people wearing masks outdoors.  Was that required?

Also were people allowed off the ship and outside the cruise port without a Carnival excursion?

Slacking today since I slept in until 11:30. I had and have no plans here in Roatan just feels like a beach stop and that’s not really my cup of tea so I slept in

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Welcome to Roatan

 

 

This is my first Guys burger of the cruise……

 

Also I haven’t gotten off yet but judging by how we parked I don’t think another ship would fit behind Mardi Gras here

I've read that Mexico is requiring masks outdoors if not at the beach or actively eating/drinking (and definitely for the long bus ride to the ruins). It's the reason I have decided not to do a ruins excursion here ☹️

Decided to go try a Shaqs chicken

We had to wear them in the port area and on the drive to and from the ruins but once we were inside the site we were allowed to take our masks off. If you have been to Costa Maya you know how long that pier is and we’ll I wasn’t wearing that walking back to the ship in that heat

I am just off on the 21st! Curious as to your overall opinion! I thought it was missing something maybe a theater.

That is good to hear that masks weren't required at the ruins. It did not look very crowded. The drive is still a bit long for me but good warning about the long pier since I plan to do something in the water.

That was my experience, all three times I went there (2 times for the MDE - my fav) 🙂

Yes the pier is long, especially with the MG docked on the out berth wing at the end. Not as long as Progresso, IIRC. They used to have a tram run up and down from the shopping entrance to the end of the pier.

Thanks makes sense on the bus.

I am loving your review. We sail on September 4th.  I was wondering if you knew / experienced the Sargassum situation in Costa Maya ? 

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

 

Hello Darkness my old friend……

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Side note I took like a three hour nap and almost forgot about my 6pm reservation. So as I was about to get dressed my room steward who has been awesome and asked about my day and then five days in asks are you sailing by myself? lol 
 

I was like yup and then he asks me why, normally I don’t mind just wasn’t sure why he was pressing for information. And I explained my girlfriend is a nurse and with Covid being what it is her work wouldn’t let her off.

The what? 

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

So marine traffic says we are moving but it doesn’t feel like it and the landmass out of the windows aren’t moving so I could be wrong? I thought maybe the Captain decided to be really nice to some lates?
