Mexican Cruise Day 7: At Sea

Our last day was at sea! To start off the day we went to the hot tub at the gym and then got some coffee. Then we went to brunch where I had tomato soup, blueberry pancakes, and fruit. After breakfast we went to the casino where I entered a slot tournament. I got first place and because a finalist for the grand final! I went and got some Chinese for lunch and went back to the casino for the grand final round. Unfortunately I didn't win the $500 but I did win an awesome shirt! After the slot tournament I went over and played BINGO. My dad played most of my cards for me until I got there. Thanks Dad! I didn't win anything on BINGO but I did win $5 from a pull tab. That night we went to the dining room again for dinner and they put on a special show for the last night. We all went to our rooms early so we could get packed and put our bags out. The next morning we left our rooms by 8A.M. and went to the buffet. Afte...

Mexican Cruise Day 6: At Sea

Our sixth day was at sea! After spending the last three days doing excursions we were pretty exhausted. In the morning we went to the steam room and the hot tub in the gym area. After a nice relaxing morning we went and got coffee. After, we went to brunch and they made chocolate chip pancakes for me. Yep! All dairy free. Then, Jake went to the casino and I spent some time with my mom. We got Chinese food and went to BINGO. We didn't win anything but we still had fun. To finish off the night we had an amazing dinner and they even put on a show for us.

Mexican Cruise Day 5: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

In Puerto Vallarta we went on another excursion! This time we went on a Kayak and Snorkel adventure. We started off getting on a boat and getting a tour of the islands. What we didn't know and what isn't in the name or description of the excursion is that it was all inclusive. They served us drinks on the way out there (although no alcohol before water activities). When we got there Jake and I went snorkeling. We were warned there may be jelly fish but after living in Hawaii so long Jake and I knew what to look out for... or so we thought. After snorkeling for a few minutes I felt what felt like a sting on my right arm but I thought the strap to my floaty cut my arm or something. So I keep swimming. After a few more minutes I feel a few more stings. I look over and what do I see?!?  TINY JELLYFISH!! I yell over to Jake telling him there is jelly fish and to get to the boat but he didn't hear and swam to me. Then we had to swim through a ...

Mexican Cruise Day 4: Mazatlan, Mexico

Day four was Mazatlan! Early in the morning we got off the ship for our excursion.   We went to an all inclusive beach resort.  They had people bringing your drinks out to you while you laid on the beach! It was amazing! They even had a heated pool with a swim up bar. The excursion lasted almost all day. After the excursion we headed back to the ship. On the way there the bus driver gave us a 20 minute tour. I don't really remember the tour because I was so exhausted I fell asleep but Jake said it was great! Once we got back on the ship we took a little nap and woke up in time for supper. They made me a creamy asparagus soup all dairy free! I love asparagus so I was really excited to be able to enjoy it.
