Cruis'n
Here are some sporadic thoughts on our first Cruise. Pictures and video to come.
- In Cruise parlance "Western Caribbean" = Mexico (specifically the Yucatan Peninsula)
- Carnival Cruise lines attempts to create a 24x7 party atmosphere, complete with loud 80's music and seizure inducing light effects.
- Cruising is not designed for people who enjoy being on a boat. Cruising is designed for people who want an all inclusive resort hotel that changes beaches everyday.
- DON'T MISS THE BOAT! (seriously)
- You will never, ever, go hungry. However, you might not feel like eating.
- Ernesto's Fajita Factory in Cozumel is within walking distance from Carnival's pier, don't pay for a cab.
- However, taking a cab in Cozumel can be a great experience.
- Don't underestimate the beauty of crystal clear sea water. Pictures DO NOT do it justice.
- A 30 minute walk along a deserted beach in Progreso can clear a year's worth of detritus from your mind.
- Waves rock you to sleep.
- As always: pack light, travel happy.
