Day 12: Cozumel, Mexico

 

Today we arrived in Cozumel, Mexico after traveling from Honduras. It ended up being such a relaxing and enjoyable day. We spent the day at an all inclusive beach, which was perfect. Even though we were not able to get into the ocean because the currents were too strong, we still made the most of the day and enjoyed spending time by the water.

After ordering lunch, we had some time to relax and even met some cool new friends while waiting for our food. Some of us walked along the beach and took in the scenery, while others laid out in the sun and enjoyed the warm weather. It was nice to have a few hours to unwind and appreciate the view before heading back to the port.

Once we returned, a few of us decided to shop around for a bit, while the rest of the group went back to the ship to get ready for dinner. One of the dinner options tonight was lobster tail, which most of us chose and it definitely did not disappoint. Dinner was even better because of the sunset view as the ship prepared to set sail for our sea day.

Lobster Tail!

After dinner, everyone split off to do their own things for the evening. Andrew and I went to watch the early tango show, Ian and Dr. Fonstad learned how to play a new board game, Kandra and Dan attended another show, Drew relaxed, and Graycie and Brayden went to the later tango show and Latin dancing. I really enjoyed watching the tango show because there was so much energy and movement in the dancing. The frequent costume changes also stood out to me and helped change the mood throughout the performance, making it even more entertaining.

Tomorrow is a sea day, but for our class activity we have a really exciting opportunity to go behind the scenes of the cruise ship. I’m looking forward to learning more about how everything operates and experiencing a different side of what we have seen this week.
