A trifecta - a tree, cactus, and orchids.

This guy was the only one I saw cutting the grass. That was a lot of grass.

2 of the 3 ports are common with the next cruise, the difference being this one went to Costa Maya and the next one goes to Belize. So a lot of the pictures might be the same and can just be posted in the other thread. In Costa Maya I went to the Kuhunlich Mayan Ruins. At these, if it has steps, you can climb it. To get there is a long bus ride each way. But there are no vendors! Or toilets other than porta potties. No other buses or groups. Ahhhh.

This is the thread from the next (Nov 12) cruise:

For those who like playing officer bingo!!

No. Mini-suites do not necessarily have larger balconies, but do have a bathtub/shower combo, a sofa, and two TVs. YMMV.

While the Internet access might not be the fastest ever, at least they don't block WiFi calling. Did I say that out loud?

I apologize for the picture of the chili cheese dog. I realize that what has been seen cannot be unseen. I wish CC had a blur feature that would have allowed me to place a warning and for viewers to proceed at their own peril.

A trawler doing donuts this morning....

It was scary. I didn't finish it. Should have gotten a hamburger.

Some wine packages available

But the day was partially saved when I noticed the Swirls place has chocolate sauce (and also caramel) for the soft serve ice cream.

A chili cheese dog from Lido sounded better than it was (IMO)

The MDR lunch menu - while very good, I was ready to try something different - I was getting stuck in a rut. I should have tried something different than what I tried.

No worries - the bars are fully open now.

The Galveston bar menu and "tip top shelf" liquor available for purchase.

I AM in a balcony - the same as for the first leg. I was just looking at some other cabins when walking around. I think the standard balcony is a little small, but likely am spoiled by the mini-suite I had on Discovery a few weeks ago. I know - first world problem.

Now that's a library

The interior rooms look tiny. This one might have been a modified cabin.

I didn't see any American bacon and thought the worst - bacation. But when I asked the omelette lady she pulled a large portion out and put it on my plate. If you don't see something - say something!

The Princess version of buttergate?
