@sid_9169....I've mentioned this to you before and I'll continue....the "mood" thingy could be a chemical imbalance that no matter what you eat or drink or do will "fix". 

 

Hang in there buddy and have a great day in Cozumel!

Enjoy your day, Sid. Since I can't get a decent mojito on this ship, had to make one myself. Gonna enjoy it to the tunes drifting up from The Dock.

Feels weird to say yes to being a rockstar, but we are in a Sweet Aft Suite and our awesome agent arranged the extras needed for our cocktails.

Your mojito issue and Sid's early issues with margaritas: seems odd on a ship/cruise line that should be way better at such things. Is it a fluke?

The best mojitos I've had on a ship have been made from bartenders who are from the Caribbean. They KNOW mojitos and my bartenders so far have not been from the Caribbean. It could also be a bar stock issue. Twice they have used a cloudy lime juice concoction instead of fresh limes. Not exactly sure since I haven't pressed them on the issue. On Celebrity, I could ask for my "skinny" mojito using diet sprite instead of simple syrup and soda, alas the only diet soda this ship has is coke.

Just confirming - the ship is docked at the Punta Langosta Terminal today?  Thanks for the review, will be doing this itinerary next year so it's super helpful!

I'm just now back on board from my little adventure in Cozumel... I'm glad to say that I feel better now than the funk I was in this morning. That may or may not have to do with the amount of tequila I've had today... Lots of good food and adult beverages were consumed, as well as lots of money spent. I found some Cuban cigars, but not really the ones I wanted, due to the extremely high tax they have on them here. I'm going to go back through my pictures and see what kind of story I can turn them into...

I guess that it's time for another margarita...

 

 

That looks like a 1000 Islands sunset!

I left here a little before noon, which is 11:00 Cozumel time. I usually meet my driver earlier, but the first place I wanted to eat wouldn't have been open yet, so I planned on the 11:00 pick up...

 

It was great to see my driver, Crescencio again, as he's been hauling me around here for ten years now. He's the owner of Black Hat Cozumel, but he always takes me personally due to the fact that I'm an old and good customer...

That's what I was thinking too. Like it's one thing if you are allergic, or you're nice about it.... but to just keep on being a jerk to the people who deal with your food.... that's really never a good idea. Especially if you're uhh... memorable looking like he sounds like he is.

 

I'm finally caught up on your review! It's been so good. The photos are always amazing. It looks like a fun cruise! the arcade looks like so much fun as well. Do they have a Pac Man machine? That's my favorite ever.

I used to be so into Ms. PacMan. Loved that!

Last time I was here we arrived before Diego's Tacos opened, so that was the main reason for my delaying my departure. It's right across from the airport, and lots of people who visit stop there right when they get off the plane. I was craving their awesome fish tacos, which I haven't had in a while, and they were as great as I remembered...

About twenty five minutes or so went by after the burrito showed up, so I put the flag up again. I guess my express breakfast ended up falling through the cracks somewhere. About two minutes later, it arrived. 

 

I've still got two hours until I have to meet my driver so I'm going to slowly start getting my stuff together for Cozumel. I'm feeling a little bit weird today, and I'm weird every day, but this is different. Not sick, just not as excited as I should be visiting one of my all time favorite places... Hopefully that passes soon. I guess that I'm worried about a lot of stuff back home now, and it followed me all the way here.........

Stop this. Right now. You are gonna have a great day in one of your fav locations. XO

[sid_9169]

Since last time I was here, they completely remodeled the place, and even added a nice new restroom, which wasn't there before. Well, maybe not an award winning restroom, but there were definitely worse ones today.

 

It's definitely rustic, and the missing toilet seat would be a theme for today... Maybe there's a toilet seat shortage here or something...

@sid_9169The fish tacos look amazing!  I've been wanting to try Diego's for years, but we always get lazy and just head to Ernesto's...can't beat the location.

[sid_9169]

Next, we began heading over towards the East side of the island where a couple of my all time favorites are... School was getting out, and lots of the kids get picked up by their parents on mopeds. There must be a million of them here...

Oh crap. Those look perfect. Just exactly how I like them!@!@! I am so jealous (which is undignified but who gives a flip about dignity when discussing perfect fish tacos).
