Couples Only Cruise ~ Cozumel

Image
After another early morning jog, Ben and I enjoyed another leisurely breakfast on the sun deck behind Topsider buffet. We popped up to deck nine to get a better view of Cozumel as we came into the dock. Sea days and port days feature entirely different energy on the ship. While the sea days feature a much more sleeping in and hanging out vibe, port days there is a purpose and focus as people wake up earlier, eat breakfast in a bit of a hurry and queue for their appointed Port Adventure meeting times. While on sea days the first announcements may not begin until the late morning, port days involve all ashore announcments sometimes quite early.

Because all good stories start with Once Upon a Time... As much as I felt blessed to enjoy our cruise, sharing it with family made it all the more magical!

Honestly, if you stay on board when the ship is in port, you can really make the most of things. So they splashed and fell in the pool and ran around...
