Today is Cozumel, and we’re booked for the Mexology excursion, again using OBC. Once off the ship I received a text from Verizon reminding me that Mexico is included in my domestic plan 👍. I took care of booking our day pass for Friday. I ended up booking Bahia Mar through Resort Pass. We’ve stayed there before and are familiar with their pool area and services .

Breakfast was in Blu this morning- no problem being accommodated

Forgot to add- yes the Signature suites do get the two bottles of spirits for the shorter cruises and unlimited specialty dining. We have one booked for 2026 and will be combining it with a longer land based vacation so will use whatever we don’t consume onboard then.

I don’t think food is provisioned off of the ship. The Beach Club lunch was very good, and they will bring you as much as you want off of the menu. For us it was worth it as we wanted a quieter and less crowded atmosphere and table service for lunch.

We used OBC to purchase, and will have to look up what it was since we reserved it so long ago. I do know that they use surge pricing, so cost will depend on time of year and how it is selling. I think it was about 150 pp for kids, and 250ish pp for adults if booked on the ship, so not cheap, but for us it was a good use of our OBC.

I checked the Daily for Coco Cay day and Oceanview Cafe, Opus, Blu, and Luminae were open for breakfast. Oceanview Cafe was the only main dining venue that was open for lunch, but that is typical for any port day. The Spa Cafe was also open for lunch as were Sushi on Five and The Porch. Complimentary areas on Coco Cay are Splashaway Bay, described on the map as a complimentary water park, Oasis Lagoon, a complimentary freshwater pool with 3 swim up islands, a swim up bar, and a sloped entry, I’ve taken photos of the other listings of complimentary areas from the map. Yes, there are a number of pay to play areas but there are also plenty of complimentary dining and beach areas.

Celebrity Cruises, we need to talk. These 2 sailings have been literally our best cruises ever. This was what greeted us after we returned to our cabin after an incredible dinner at Luminae (and now I’m teary eyed after writing 4 pages of notes to Guest Relations about the excellent service we have received)-

Dinner tonight was 👍👍👍👍👍. We chose dishes from both the Luminae menu and the main dining room menu. All of the recommendations from our waiter (we asked for the same one every night) and the sommelier have been spot on.

We really haven’t been to many of the shows since we came on board so decided to see Broken Strings. It was a very entertaining show and perfect for pre-dinner.

Campari shakerato for the win

And of course, after a mixology course you need to stop by Cafe el Bacio -

We just did the Mixology class, so much fun! 45.00 pp, which includes 3 different cocktails and fun instructions on how to make your own. The three cocktails we made were an old fashioned, a margarita, and a botanical gin and tonic. The other people we sat near were a lot of fun and it was a great time 👍

About to do the Mixology Class-

You’ll have our butler when you move to the Reflection suite, and he is amazing.
