Cool, I was wondering about the excursions... any others you went on? Everything I had ever heard about the quantity of food is absolutely true... all you can eat breakfast, all you can eat lunch, and if you didn't do the all you can eat dinner, you could still choose more than one app/dinner/dessert in the dining room. As far as a larger ship, I was on the Navigator of the Seas, which is in the same family as the one pictured... I felt a bit uneasy about being on a ship with 3000+ other tourists (and their kids), but now I have no complaints. There were 12 elevators and they were always busy, but we were on the 8th deck of 12 and were only a few decks away from all the food and most of the entertainment. We had our own balcony, which was nice when I didn't want to be around the crowds, but at times I was actually surprised it wasn't more crowded in certain areas or for certain shows.

All I remember is showing up to the karaoke lounge, but the next morning I get this vanilla folder pkg thing sent to my room and it's the entry form with a small cheapo mp3 player with the song programmed into it (Friends In Low Places). Of course it was a drunk song which is why I probably sang it. Yes...unfortunately that night I was one of "those people". Didn't think it would be anything big so I said wtf I'll do it, family would like to see me up there anyways. The auditorium of this ship is ****ing huge and held close to a few thousand people. Wasn't expecting that to be honest but I ****ing rocked it because I'm awesome, standing O...people chanting The Rock's name in unison. Looking back it was a lot of fun doing that. I had the cowboy hat, the white/black checkered button down shirt, black jeans n boots. They mailed a production DVD copy to my parents a couple weeks after we got back home. I never saw it because I didn't bother to ask at the time neither did I expect them to send anything...I guess maybe that's what the form I filled out was for who knows. I need to ask them sometime If I can watch it or if they still have it.

1.) They're run through officially-sanctioned companies. Less likelihood that you wake up in a tub of ice missing a kidney... 2.) ...or, a more probable scenario, less likely that the ship leaves without you. If you're on one of "their" excursions, they tend to wait longer (or, at least, know you're missing, and may help get you to the next port). 3.) The cruise line excursions are also much easier to refund/change due to unforeseen circumstances (change in port, bad weather, someone in the party feeling ill, just simply too tired, etc.,.). In a place like Cozumel (i.e. small, relatively safe island) it's not that big of a deal to go your own way. Other places, probably not. |
