Day 2
We are well into our first Sea Day. Trenton and I hit the sky course for several rounds this morning. Thankfully there was no one there to snap pictures of it. It was quite windy and I am shocked it was open. I was trucking on through the easy routes when Trenton double dog dared me to do the hard one. I was rudely reminded about halfway through that I broke my shoulder only 6 months ago and clearly am not as young as I once was. After I survived that lap, I was done! LOL
We headed to the casino for the Facebook Slot Pull. No money was won, but it sure was a fun time. Mark was still sleeping so the rest of us headed for a late breakfast and them off to the Caribbean Shopping Show. I honestly have never attended one of these and here is my take on it…. They give away lots of free stuff! (I didn’t win any of it)… but it has to be the longest show in history and my butt fell asleep! However, I would say it’s worth a shot. They gave away T-shirts, Del Sol bags, socks and a couple of really nice necklaces. If you like getting free stuff... this is one you don't want to miss!
We gambled a little in the casino and then tried the new barbeque place outside on Deck 5 for lunch. It was pretty good. Had potato salad and cole slaw, pork, chicken, beans, macaroni and cheese, etc. It was a nice lunch.
Afterwards, we headed back to the Diamonds and Gemstone show, which really is a continuation of the Shopping show from the morning. This time my Mother In Law won a bracelet valued at $175 and we all got a free sapphire gemstone. This one did not last as long as the first one did... so I am calling that a success.
Tonight was elegant night. We got all dressed up and had some pictures taken. I could not miss that opportunity. Dinner was yummy. We have Your Time Dining and found a wonderful wait staff. They were funny and quick! We will be requesting them each night. Most everyone ordered the lobster. I tried the fried oysters for an appetizer and they were really very good! ... and I am not an oyster person. Dessert was hands down the Vanilla Crème Brulee which Trenton describes as heaven with a crunchy top of deliciousness :)
I ended up with a really great family photo from elegant night.... but.... the internet isn't strong enough to turn it :(
I absolutely love it though!
We all visited the casino that night and had a lot of fun! Donated a little so hopefully it will be kind to us on another night, but we did have a blast! After that we wandered around, shopped a little and called it a night.
Stay tuned for our adventures in Cozumel!
