So, we continue to Day 3 of my first cruise. The ship ported at Cozumel that morning and we were up early enough to watch the ship pull up to the landing. Our only paid excursion of the cruise was our mission for that day. Of course, it was the least expensive...
My First Cruise Experience (Part 2)
Now to continue my story from last week, we just finished our first day and evening. Overnight, we were sleeping in our sardine box. I also knew there was a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico. I could feel the boat swaying with the waves. Not enough to get sick,...
