Brilliance of the Seas Live Blog - Day 3 - Cozumel

Our only port visit on this sailing brings us to Cozumel. Our ship arrived around 8am, and we planned to get off the ship right at 9am.

Without children, getting ready in the morning was pretty easy and we were ready to walk off right at 9am.  

Prior to the cruise, we booked day passes to the El Cozumeleno resort, so we took a taxi to the hotel.  The ride was about 10 minutes, and we checked-in quickly and easily.

 

I had booked this daypass because I really loved it the last time we visited in 2018, so I wanted to see if it held up.

We got seats at the pool, and it turned out to be a phenomenal weather day. Partly cloudy skies, plenty of sun and low humidity.

The staff was super attentive, and really enjoyed our time relaxing at the pool, eating plenty of food and drinks.

Between the great weather, great service and great offerings, I really enjoyed our visit and think it was another home run.

We left the resort around 4pm and took a taxi to La Mega supermarket to pick up my favorite food to bring home: tortilla chips.

I know it sounds crazy, but tortilla chips in Mexico taste so much better, so I bought 3 bags for about $1.50 and will enjoy them long after this cruise is over and done with.

We got back to the ship right at 5pm and it was time to shower, power nap, and get ready for dinner.

Our pre-dinner drink stop was the Starquest bar on Deck 13 in the Viking Crown Lounge.

Dinner tonight was in Chops Grille, and I really enjoy their appetizers especially.

After dinner, we decided to enjoy music in the Schooner Bar.
