Cozumel, Mexico

Tuesday, July 29, we stopped in Cozumel, Mexico port. We were able to walk right off the ship onto land. We purchased a shore excursion called Deluxe Beach Break. The tour began as we were escorted to the air-conditioned greyhound type bus for a ride to Playa Mia Grand Beach Park. Upon arrival, they let us know of the club's amenities such as beach chairs, beach umbrellas, non-motorized water toys like kayak, Hobiecats, pedal boats, water trampolines, the incredible Water Iceberg, and games such as ping pong tables. Also included was a full domestic open bar and an international all you can eat buffet. We spent our day on the sandy beach and swimming in the waters of the Mexican Caribbean. Riley swam out to the water trampoline, but couldn't make it to the Iceberg without a life jacket. We decided to try the pedal boats, Brian & Riley in one and Sharri & Erika in another. Erika and Riley didn't realize that it would be more work than fun. We spent 5 hours there and then we were back on the bus to the pier. We did some shopping for souveniers and then headed back to the ship.
