Day 11 - Cozumel


Yesterday we docked in Cozumel along with four other ships.  We paid for our shore excursions a couple of months ago.  In Cozumel Cec wanted to go on the Atlantis Submarine.  We have done it in St. Thomas and Barbados and ordered it in Cozumel for this cruise.  The day after I paid for the shore excursion, the Titanic submarine was lost and we know what happened.  I was apprehensive about this tour.  We found out when we got on shore, it was cancelled.  They said "rough seas and it's a safety issue".  I was thrilled, we would get a refund!   We did some shopping and went back to the ship for an enjoyable afternoon.  

Our ship was an hour and a half late in leaving Cozumel because of a late tour.   After a delicious dinner consisting of escargot, steak, lobster and a chocolate dome, we met some ladies we've talked to before.  They were on the late tour that went to the Mayan ruins in a boat.  When they got on the boat, they gave them barf bags!  It was so rough they all got sick and one lady fell and broke a few bones!  I am thankful Atlantis cancelled our tour as well as very pleased!  No wonder they were so late!

I've said before how much I've enjoyed the entertainment.  Last night I was blown away with the performance of "Born To Dance".  It is our fourth performance of the singers and dancers in 11 days.  I don't know what artistic company is hiring and training these incredibly talented people, but it was awesome!  I've been on many cruise lines and no other cruise line has talent like this.  I've done three Princess cruises this year and only seen one repeat show.  Way to go Princess, you are the best in talent!

Happy 56th wedding anniversary to us.  We like to celebrate on a cruise and it worked out this year.
