Good Morning from Costa Maya. Norwegian Dawn pulling in.

 

 

 

I love ocean pics with beautiful clouds.   These are nice.

Costa Maya was windy with waves pushing the ships against the pier when we were there in Nov.  Is that just how the port is?

Often, Yes.  Prevalent Easterlies pushing over the Barrier reef.

A bit of a rough start to the day 😵 🤢 

 

I think I have @John&LaLa and @PompeySailor to thank for this…

 

 

 

I guess if I do pull the trigger and join the Bella 2.0 cruise, I'll need to start drinking heavily about a month before the cruise in order to increase my alcohol tolerance. 🤪

Jamie’s Blue Reef. I really like it here. Nicer than Krazy Lobster

 

 

 

The hotel

 

I really like it here. Staff is great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's our go to spot as well.   We've known Jaime since his Playa del Carmen days.   Wondering if he was around.  When we were there last year he was having a back operation.  

 

Probalby too late but  the barkeeps do make a huge, really good paloma.

Is this a ship excursion or private?  Hows the seaweed

Private.  You book via FB or email.  It's AI.  But someone said if they aren't crowded they may take walk ons.   But 3 ships in probably not.

That was a ship excursion. Seaweed there was very minimal. And it’s good here at Jamie’s Blue Reef today.

Live now. Want to come and watch, port side wave until 1:15, deck 15. 
 

We found you. Helen snapped a few too. Nice show.

 

[cruiselvr04]

We like Jamie’s too but the last time we had vendors coming around every 3 minutes.  It kind of took the relaxation out of it.  Hoping your day is free of that.

Oasis birthed this one last night, right?  She wouldn’t even go from the aft elevators to Giovanni’s.  She has one tender and our loft cabin is almost half this ships entire height. She’s just a baby but I can’t wait to see her all grown up one day. 😁

 

She is a sleek and sexy ship tho, if I don't mind saying so myself.

 

Am I allowed to say that? 😉

If I missed a sunrise while on a cruise I'd be so angry with myself.

 

I'd probably be mad at myself if I see a sunrise while on a cruise.  Because that'll mean I'm still up from the night before.

[John&LaLa]

Back from lunch, saw Jan and Marty in the Jammer. Chillin in the cabin now waiting for the excursions release at 3pm, so let's try and catch up a bit.

 

Yesterday's progress. Couple of repeats 😉

 

Kicked the evening off at Playmaker's  with Modelo Negro 

 

I then realized I needed to get the Black and Gold in honor of Mizzou victory today

 

Chiiling the Limoncello. Bartender laughed and said that ain't wine 🤣

 

Planters Punch in Music Hall.

 

And then the Schooner Bar shenanigans kicked in.

New Fashioned

 

Georgia Peach. Basically a long island tea with peach schnapps and/or peach puree. But no Coke, which is kinda funny since Coke is Georgia

 

Someone suggested Irish Car Bombs 💣 

 

Appropriate photo no doubt

 

What's next🤔

 

Yep, worth repeating 👌 

 

Now my last photo is the B52, but I vaguely remember Kamikaze shooters as well, need to go back and read up

 

Once again, another Midnight at the Oasis

Doubtful, just the way it is in Mahahual.

@John&LaLa

You missed the Spice rum and coke 🥃

 

Glad the gang got you back safe to your cabin 

It was a blast - good times 👍🏻

[SummerBeee]

Glad to see y’all are keeping Razvan busy at Schooner.

Looks like someone placed a hotel on top of a barge platform.

That is a great description. It is just not aesthetically appealing to me.

Don't be so sure about that.  I think it was Atlantis that stole my Feb. 4th Harmony booking this year.  We ended up going two weeks later which increased kids and costs due to other activities in Fort Lauderdale that week.  Hotels and Airfare were crazy.

I think the fact that Wonder sails from Port Canaveral makes it a safer choice.  Atlantis knows their audience well--and that audience would much rather pre and post cruise party in Miami or Fort Lauderdale.  With Symphony, Oasis and Allure all going out of either Miami or Ft Lauderdale in Jan/Feb of 2025, those are the more likely  ships, at least in my opinion. Someone like @Ourusualbeachor @John&LaLa may have a different opinion, but based on past history, my money would be on them sticking to the Miami area.

For the price, it should be.
 

From the road it has never really appealed to me as the loungers look very close together and crowded. How are the restrooms?
 

I am not a huge fan of Krazy Lobster either but you are aren’t really comparing like with like - they serve a different niche.

 

Lack of sargassum looks good today.

John, I can't wait until the WC starts and you keep up this pace. Should make for an interesting exciting review for all us on Land. 🙂  2024 is going to be a great year for you.

 

This pace is fine for a 1 or 2 week jaunt to places I've been a dozen times. 

 

I'll definitely do the UWC different

Playmakers always delivers that perfect variety for help with the night before’s activities - good pub grub

@A&L_Ont did Owen attend teen meet and greet first night? We are on 6/2 with our 16 year old and he’s skeptical about going to it.

 

thank you all for sharing your adventures with us!
