We almost got stranded in Mexico
There were a lotta fun activities on the ship for the kids but every so often – besides eating and catching up on some reading – there was something that I really liked.
Like the baby race.
I’m honestly embarrassed how hard I laughed at it all.
And, while the food wasn’t quite as good as I had on the NCL and Celebrity ships I had in the past, did manage to eat my weight in shrimp and snow crab every day for lunch.
Her: You’re not eating anything else?
Me: God, why would I? Maybe a salad, though…
And, while we didn’t get a chance to get onto a glass-bottom boat, we did get to go on one excursion in Mexico in Cozumel…
…to see some Mayan ruins, which was incredibly cool.
For the most part, the trip was fun for everyone; no major fights or anything of the sort.
Honestly, after my past few relationships, it’s kinda shocking to just have a fight/argument-free vacation. It was…refreshing.
Which is not to say it was perfect.
The kid and I got into a tiff because he disobeyed me about something and put himself into a lotta danger AND we almost missed our bus getting back to the ship.
Which, of course, woulda ruined our trip entirely as that meant we might have missed the ships sailing home.
The tour operator was not messing around when he said he’d have to leave us behind if we weren’t back on the bus in time because they actually left a family of four that were sitting in front of us on the bus behind.
So, I read him the riot act once we got back to the ship.
Me: You gotta make better decisions, kid.
Him: OK, papa. I’m really sorry.
Honestly, that unpleasantness aside, I’m really not sure a kid could ask for more when it comes to a nice vacation.
Besides the parties, there were fireworks on the ship – twice!
Room service dessert…
…and a pirate night.
Ultimately, the kid didn’t wanna leave the ship and asked if we could come back again the following year.
Me: Well, if you pay for it, for sure. But we may need to wait a little while before we can come again.
Him: But we can do it again, someday?
Me: Sure. Someday, kid.
Him: Promise?
Me: Promise.
Back to the real world in the next entry, folks.
