Cruise 2022 ~ Day 7...& all the food

 This is the last of the cruise update......but maybe the most fun highlighting lots of food!

I feel like I should say I didn't eat all of the food picture, but I did eat a lot and even a few things not pictured.  We just took pictures of most of the food served, no matter who ordered it.

Before I get to the food, our last day, we arrived back in Miami.  It took a while to get off the ship, but it was a fun moment when the cruise director said our names over the ship intercom when we started following him on Instagram!

To get the food kicked off, these were treats the last morning.  Yes, I got one last serving of frozen yogurt.  Some of the pastries were eaten and the others, we took off the ship.

It is safe to say the frozen yogurt machine was my favorite on the ship.

Cruise 2022 ~ Day 6

 Today was day 6, our last day at sea.  Lots of pressure to fit in all the things....activities and food this last day!

The day started with another beautiful sunrise

Avery and the girls did the ropes course.  It finished the first 3 and turned back around.  I couldn't push through this.

But I did ride the bike around the track though!

We did the water slides and then hung out on the deck.

The pool is usually crowded on the ship, but I did put my toes in while watching some entertainment on the deck in the afternoon.

We went to a Q & A about ship life with our cruise director, nicknamed Donkey.  It was an interesting session and we loved our cruise director.

I love sitting at the back of the ship, watching the water and eating my yogurt.

We made it to dinner and then watched the sunset.

And we continued to get animal towels each night

Cruise 2022 ~ Day 5

 Happy Monday!  My weekend was low key.   I am feeling good and went out to see the new Top Gun movie yesterday.  Like everyone else has reported, I thought it was good and worth seeing in a theater.

  So, I am back with cruise updates :).  Today I am focusing on Day 5, which was my favorite port and excursion.  Last week, I have some earlier posts about the trip.

Day 5 - Cozumel, Mexico

Watching the sunrise from the balcony isn't a bad way to get any day started.

We got off the ship around 10:30 and there were several other ships docked at this port.

We took an excursion to a beach where we did paddleboarding and snorkeling.

This was my first time to paddleboard.

Isabella is quite good and even has her own paddleboard that she uses at college.

The rest of the crew did pretty good too.

I did stand a few times and only fell in once.  It was fun to try a new experience.

After about 30 mintues on paddleboards, we snorkeled.  It was a good feeling to push past my fears and be able to stay under water for more than 5-10 seconds!  I had tried this years before and couldn't get the hang of it. (on a side note, they had their own photographers who sold us these pictures from both adventures).

Afterwards, we had quesadillas, guacamole and while in Mexico, a margarita.  It was all so good.

We cleaned up and went to dinner and a show.

After a rest, I headed out alone to the 80's dance party.  It didn't start until 10:30, so this was my late night!  It was fun to hear the music, see the people and do a little dancing.

I'll wrap up on Wednesday with cruise food photos!  There is enough of those for one post, ha!
