Coconut Palms in Costa Maya

Today was a beach day - swimming in the ocean, playing volleyball, soaking up some Mexican sun.  It was very relaxing !!  We spent most of the afternoon here, and as it turns out it was a very good decision, as the next port did not work out at all.
On Saturday, we were supposed to be stopping in the Bahamas at a private island owned by NCL.  Passengers were going to take ships to get to the shore where we would swim, snorkel, and have a big barbeque.

Unfortunately, the seas were so rough that they could not use the boats to take passengers, and so we ended up sailing right by the lovely little island.  We were so happy that we had our beach day on Thursday.  It was still nice enough to be outside by the pool on the ship, but the day before had been a sea day, too, so we were getting a little tired of just sitting by the pool.
                                                                                       
The staff arranged for some extra entertainment that day instead, and that was really good.  They had The Cat's Pyjamas, an acapella group, playing on the ship, and they were awesome!!  I guess they have been on Oprah, and some other shows.

Missing out on the last days activities was kind of tough, but the rest of the cruise was
absolutely wonderful, so we are not complaining.
Could be worse, we could be stuck in a trailer with two kids....oh yeah, wait for it.......

  2. Just catching up on the Macfamily adventures - Happy birthday Sean --look out Rianna will want a cruise for her next B-day too.
    Had the guide tea last night - was a nice treat. Jane and I were wondering when the wondering Macfamily will return to Calgary. Seven days to Christmas - does time fly or what. If I forget to check up on you before the big day (having 20 or so for supper). Last day of school and work for all here today. Have a great Macfamily Christmas and a great New Year (you could be back to time square. Rose
