Snorkeling

In Cozumel we snorkeled. We booked this through the cruise line after debating if we should book with a different tour operator. When we realized that there were 75 people on the same excursion, I had my doubts. They divided everyone into three groups. We were the last group to get on a snorkeling boat (our boat looked like a pirate boat). The man guy organizing everything on the pier was the guide for our boat and he was fantastic. So, it was worth the wait and we enjoyed the three stops for snorkeling.

The reef wasn't very colorful where we were but there were lots of fish. It often seemed like you could just reach out and touch them but I didn't.

I couldn't get the timing down right to get a great picture of Chris.

Here is a picture of our ship, the Enchantment of the Seas.

The snorkeling boat dropped us off at the pier and we took a taxi downtown. We went to Carlos and Charlie's to see a couple of our tablemates who said they would there. We hung out with them while we split a drink and enjoyed chips, salsa, and guacamole (Chris now eats guacamole - yeah!).

After leaving the restaurant, we decided to walk back. I wanted the exercise and Chris was willing to save on the cab fare. So, we enjoyed our three mile walk back to ship.

One last stop for refreshment before getting back on the boat.

That night was the cocktail party for people who were past passengers on Royal Caribbean. They call it the Welcome Back Party. The 42 year old Captain seemed like a very nice guy. He was genuinely interested in how our cruise was going and if we were enjoying the service. We saw him throughout the ship the entire cruise. On the last day, he played in one of the water volleyball games.
