As there were no tours planned day six was a fairly relaxing day in Cozumel, Mexico. The ship docked at 8am and we made our way to the pier at 9:30. It was a bright sunny day but we did not exit the port area but spent the time going in and out of the shops doing a bit of souvenir shopping. We managed to get almost all of our ‘take home’ presents bought.
At 12:30 we were back on board and our purchases placed in the safe hands of the ship. Alcohol is not allowed to be brought on board and as we had purchased two bottles of tequila it had to be placed in storage until our departure. As all our purchases were in one bag it was just as easy to put everything in safe custody.
After lunch in the Windjammer Buffet, the main dining room is closed when the ship is in port, we spent the day lounging on the pool deck. I did, however, manage to get in a 2.37 Kms jog around deck ten. The map shows me running around the water but there really was a ship under me.

It was another short day in port with a departure time of 5pm. That is one of the disadvantages of cruising - the short time in each port. It certainly does not give you much time to see any of the city or country. You are pretty much limited to one tour and if you happen to pick one that does not live up to your expectations it could give a general poor impression of that port.
The show in the Masquerade Theatre was entitled “Boogie Wonderland” and a wonderland of sight and sound it was. The entertainment on board is never ending and at times difficult to decide on just what you wanted to see.
Tonight was our second formal dinner and again it was a pleasure to see so many people in all of their finery.
All afternoon we had been hearing about tonight’s main dish was a favourite among the regular passengers - Fisherman’s Platter of lobster and shrimp. The lobster portion consisted of three grilled small warm water lobster tails split in half along with four large shrimp. The waiter gave both of us a double portion! Wendy could not eat all of her’s so of course I forced myself to finish what she could not. With meals like that and waiters who had no problem in giving out extra portions it is no wonder that people, in the words of one of the comedians; “enter as guests and leave as cargo.”
After supper we were off to the Schooner Bar for a drink to wind out the night
