Cruise Days 3, 4, and 5

Day Three

Most of day three we spent hanging by the pool and more exploring of the ship. Donaldo got to do the surfing that he wanted (the Flow Rider) and I enjoyed reading a book for fun, which I hadn't done in a very long time!! We got drinks and went to an ice show before dinner that was amazing!






Day Four

On day four we docked at the port in Cozumel, Mexico! I had previously been to Cozumel and Playa del Carmen when I was 17 and I was so happy to be back! It is totally and completely beautiful. For our excursion we chose to swim and snorkel on a beach in Playa del Carmen called Akumal. The snorkeling was amazing and we saw many sea turtles! After snorkeling, they took us to a private beach where we relaxed and had lunch. It was incredible. The only part of the day that wasn't fun was that I got seasick on the ferry ride to Playa along with most of the rest of the ship. The seas were really rough that day and I've NEVER been motion or seasick in my life so I thought I'd be fine. Not so much. 









Luckily by the time we got back to the ship and relaxed a bit I was okay. When we got back we went to a bar called Olive and Twist on Deck 15 of the ship. It is the highest deck so you can see everything. It was so pretty! Then we went to dinner and hit more bars and activities around the ship. We ate at one of the two of the more fancy restaurants on this night and it was the most amazing food I have EVER had. It was an Italian restaurant called Portofino's.






Day Five

For our last day on the ship, we mainly hung out by the pool all day again and relaxed. We ate at this burger place on the ship for lunch. We got ready for dinner and then after dinner we hit some 80's music trivia and then karaoke. Karaoke was SO MUCH FUN and so hilarious!! 












I decided to combine our last 3 days of the cruise since we are moving to our new house soon and I'm going to definitely want to do lots of posts about the progress with it. We decided to paint the entire inside so we didn't move in on our closing date, which was April 3rd. Last weekend we went and bought all of our furniture, bedding, and bathroom sets. It was super fun! I can't wait to see how everything comes together!!
