I then headed up the ramp to the upper level with sentry boxes, more amazing views, and the lighthouse which was rebuilt in 1908. 

In Costa Maya we docked next a small shipe from  Regent of the seas (Seven seas Voyager)

As I understands that suppose to be a luxury cruise ship. I could not to notice the dents on the side of the ship

Looks like they had an issue and someone went to the CEO and told him " let's not activate the insurance so our fee won't get up. I will take some of my guys and with hammers plus several packages of Bondo we will fix it"

Welcome party in Costa Maya 
 

Day 4 Cozumel :
Regular breakfast in WJ , it was quite empty and off we go to the port. Near our ship we had Celbrety Edge , we were so close we could see what people order for in room breakfast

As we did not any special plans we be just took a taxi to down town and started to walk around  drank a margarita and tryed to avoid the over pushy  store people (one even called us and ask  if " want to see his junk ?" , at least he was pointing his store and not something else.

Soon it was  time for lunch. We got some recommendation from this site for few options and we choosen  Casa Denise  which was very close , it's was quite good and I liked that they did not try fishing for customer. 

Post lunch we walked over to Mega supermarket which I was reading about in @Matt posts. It's really a good place to buy some local food, spices and even Alcohol (cheaper than the ship prices for rum and tequila) they accepted dollars with good  exchange rate , We bought some hot sauces and candies. It was very easy to catch a taxi going back to the port. It was almost time for all aboard so I went to the balcony to watch the process and some peer runner , well all on board was 5:30 PM , last people boarding was around 6:05.
At the evening we went to WJ for a quick bite before we went to watch the aqua show. As always it was a nice show , the fact the ship moved allot adedd to the difficulty level.
I

I've done it 3 times...
The first 2 times we had pictures of the ship printed up along with all the travel documents. I told my parents the dates they were going away and sent a packing list.
 
The next time we had to coordinate between my folks and my then in-laws so we just showed them the itinerary and had them figure out the date.
 
The last time I called and asked my folks if we could get them to babysit their granddaughter the night we went to Chops...
 
 

Anyone else hiding a cruise under the Christmas tree this year? Any fun delivery methods?
I'm getting ready to book one for mid next year as a surprise for my husband since I've traveled so much for work and it's nice having things like that on the horizon to look forward to since it looks like the travel pattern will be continuing. I have a small cruise figurine that I'm wrapping in a box with the cruise booking confirmation.. and that wrapping that box in a bigger box... and then wrapping THAT box in a bigger box... and then putting THAT box in a bag. 

Just put cards in the mail to my wife’s sisters. I put a deposit down for three rooms for a June 2020 cruise with all of us, sans kids. Planning to have them all open over FaceTime (they live near each other, and we are far far away). 
Inside is a little poem and a map and itinerary. 
My wife doesn’t know, either, and I figure she can’t kill me for doing this behind her back in front of her sisters.

That sorta sounds like how Navy Recruiters sign up new seamen. LOL GO ARMY! ?

We gifted this New Year's cruise to my parents. This is a thank you for being the best parents in the Global World. We gave them a box full of party favors for New Year's. In the bottom of the box was their cruise documents. My parents were stunned and now they are packing. Look out Anthem, here comes my parents.

June 2020 on Mariner for 4 nights!
Now to plot for the big reveal!

And thanks for the point out to a good company! I follow another podcast that also is sponsored by them, so I guess two opinions must be worth something.
