On Tuesday, we went to Cozumel. After breakfast in the Red Sail, we got off the ship and took a taxi to Paradise Beach. This was a great spot for us - the beach is free, but they ask that you spend $10 on food or beverages, if you are going to use their chairs and umbrellas. (Which is easy to do, because the food and drinks - although delicious, are priced a bit high, but really not too bad.) The sand was nice and soft, and the umbrellas and palm trees and lounge chairs were comfortable. We got there at 11:00ish and had plenty to choose from, although it did get crowded later in the day, it never was too bad. You could also buy a bracelet for 9$ which allowed you unlimited use of their mats, water trampolines, climbing inflatable iceberg (which I climbed 3 times…), kayaks, and life jackets - which were awesome for Andrew and Cori. (Also, they didn’t charge us for a bracelet for Cori.) The swimming was nice - a comfortable temperature - and the kids did well. Andrew tootled around with his snorkel and mask, although there wasn’t much to see. We lounged on mats. At lunch, Cori had a nice long nap on a lounge chair under the shade of am umbrella. (I had the steak quesedilla - Grant had fish tacos, we shared nachos - it was YUMMY!) They also had nice facilities, lockers, changing rooms, restrooms, etc.
We got back on the ship around 4. We used yesterday’s strategy, and Andrew came back to our room to watch cartoons and rest and shower while Cori and Angie went to Angie’s cabin. We got ready for dinner (creamy broccoli cheese soup for all three of us, mozarella basil and tomato for Grant and I, and for dinner, filet mignon and chocolate melting cake for Angie and Grant and veal parmagian for me, and key lime pie for dessert. Andrew had chicken noodle soup and pasta and Cori had - what else? A fruit plate and a hot dog.
The show tonight was a magician - Justin Illusion - the show had dancing and singing along with the magician - which was ok - but I would have preferred more magic, less dancing.
We hit bed early again, because we had to get up early for our next port of call - Progresso.
