Cozumel showing 60% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow.

Announcement was just made that the harbor master deemed it to dangerous for us to dock so onward we go. We just booked a catamaran in Cozumel for the afternoon. Maybe we'll get lucky.

I hope Cozumel works out for you!

Last night in the Crows Nest we sat with some folks traveling together and sat there talking for 2 hours... it was one of those things that happens on cruise ships where you meet people you instantly like and exchange information to keep in touch. I love meeting people from all over the world and hearing their stories!

[MissiCruzs]

Dinner at Pinnacle Grill... so far so good. Started at Oceans Bar with a vodka martini made with Chopin vodka and a lemon twist. Ordered a Ritz cocktail made with marichino liquor, Lemon, Cointreau and champagne... quite good. The shrimp cocktail was delicious as was the clothesline bacon. 

[MissiCruzs]

Dinner was beef tenderloin and lobster dumplings cooked perfectly. Dessert was baked Alaska and this is going on my comment card.  It used to be made with Ben & Jerry cherry Garcia. Instead it was chocolate chip with a little side of cherries Jubilee. Not a good change. Our waiter Arnold was outstanding!

Sitting in the theater waiting for Brian's show. We missed him last cruise but heard he was good so made a point of seeing him. 

[oakridger]

What???  No Cherry Garcia?  I want my money back!!

😁

 

Glad you told us about this.  I love Cherry Garcia and that's the only reason I have ordered that version of Baked Alaska.  Next time I'll be sure to ask about this before ordering.  Your reporting has done me a great service! 😉

So the Mentalist show wasn't my cup of tea. Don't know how he does what he does but it wasn't holding my attention and we snuck out mid show. 

[MissiCruzs]

Things are not looking good for our 1 p.m. Fury Catamaran excursion. That's when the rain is supposed to start. 

[MissiCruzs]

Proof that we got off the ship finally!

[MissiCruzs]

Our ride for the day... Fury Catamaran

Hi @MissiCruzs, thanks for your nice pictures and report.

We will embark on the Rotterdam next month. We are fans of the ship's 3 concert halls. Wouldn't you have a photo of the current BB King's band?

Did Arnold used to work in CO ?

It didn't come up. If I happen to see him again I'll ask. He was very personable. 

[horseymike]

Thanks. 
We were on the Rotti March 8 - 17 and had a waiter in CO named Arnold.

He was excellent, he had a great personality and a wonderful sense of humor.

Yesterday turned out well enough. Nice ride on the Cat. We went south to where their private beach is. I didn't get off for the snorkel stop. It wasn't calm enough for me. The beach area wasn't clear as there were 5 Cats there and with the toys and people it was just all stirred up. Overall it was a nice day... and then we got back to the port and the skies opened up. The rain was driving sideways and felt like stinging hail.  We were absolutely soaked when we got to the ship.

Sorry got caught up in packing and watching the sunset... not going back out tonight. 

[MissiCruzs]

Today was a leisurely day. Went to coffee with Nick and the Captain this morning. Played Bingo this afternoon and didn't win. Grand prize was over $2K and somebody won a cruise in a drawing. We're all packed and moving to the Enchanted Princess tomorrow. I'll do another live from if no one else has started one. Thanks for following along. 

[MissiCruzs]

Last sunset of this cruise... going... going... going... gone...

[oakridger]

Thank you!  Enjoy your Cruise 2.0 on Princess!

Sorry to pop in, but we had a few from last week. We went just about every night they played.

I wonder if the above BB King band will do the crossing and be onboard in 4 weeks for my cruise.
