Day 4 - Wednesday, January 15 - At Sea Today was a very chill day. And I mean that in both senses of the word. It was pretty breezy out on deck, not many people were in the pools or slides, but plenty were in the hot tub, which after breakfast and lunch (yes, both at the buffet!) is where we met up with Sue and Gerry to spend the afternoon before dinner. We also sat out on one of the observation decks and enjoyed watching the ocean. We were able to view our pho...

Hey everybody! Welcome to my blog about our Mexico Cruise! This is the third cruise Jaime and I have been on, and while we were critical of the whole cruise experience after our first one on Carnival, these past two on Norwegian changed our minds - a bit. I feel this is a great way to travel with friends, and to go to places you only have a light interest in seeing, or to places you have been before.

I was trying to rearrange the photos. So, to the fun stuff....We arrived in port today, and again left our curtains open, so were greeted with the bright Bah...

Today was just awesome! A really great start to our Bahamian experience. I did learn a valuable lesson about rum, but more on that later.... We got up early enough to hit the breakfast buffet (our favorite part of ANY vacation!) and headed off the ship to meet up with our ride to our excursion. First of all, you have to walk outisde on the top deck to get to the buffet, and at 8am, it was already HOT as balls. We left the curtains open last night, so was cool to...
