That just gave me chills. is it September yet??????????????? That was great! The only thing I can add is that the TV in your room is a great source of information regarding activities, shopping in Cozumel and everything you would want to know about the excursions. Remember that many of the excursions can fill up quickly so you probably want to get those orders in quickly.
Other stuff,
The casinos are only open when at sea and closes late.
Drink prices are about the same as you would find at the local bar/club scene but your tip is included.
Since its your first cruise you will definitely want to check out the big gala midnight buffet.
Also, on formal nights you will find alot of areas set up to take your picture with various backdrop scenes.
Take as many different ones as you can, remember you are under no obligation to buy them but if you don''t take them then you have no chance to buy them.
If your lucky................. there may be a few waves. Most never get sick and if you do see the physician on board for a patch.
I love the waves, 3 cruises ago we had 30-40 ft waves and the weather was miserable but the rocking action was fantastic.
When you get back and are having that sinking feeling about the cruise being over (and you will) it will take a day or so before you stop feeling the rock of the ship when walking or in bed. This is a signal that you need to book another cruise as soon as possible.
Have a fun time and hope I have added to the conversation.
Remember to follow your tipping guidelines if you did not pre pay.
