We returned to the ship about 1:30pm and Berty had scheduled pizza. This worked perfect because we have a slightly later supper tonight at Hibachi at 7pm. Berty used his genie powers to get us Hawaiian pizza and ham and bacon. 🧞‍♂️🧞‍♂️

This morning we arrived in Peurto Costa Maya. Another sunny, hot day with absolutely no wind.  
Berty met us in CK and he used his genie powers to get us from deck 17 to deck 2 with no stops!! 🙌🏻  I had to take a picture of this because it won’t happen again until our excursion tomorrow  lol 
This was our first time in Costa Maya so for anyone that hasn’t been here the walk to the pier is on the long side; Berty allowed 15 minutes which was perfect.  
This was a very organized excursion.  We lined up in the Chacchoben Excusive Drive line and once a small group arrived we were whisked off to our van.  The exclusive drive is done in a 12P van. We had 9 people and were able to stretch out.  A cooler of assorted beverages including beer was available.

Our driver Eduardo was by far the best driver we have ever had.  It didn’t phase him when all the huge busses passed us. AC worked and the van was nice and cold. Our guide Miriam was also the best we have had offering lots of local trivia relevant to our upcoming visit to the ruins.  The drive was about an hour each way. Highways were in good condition, they had a good size shoulder and no sharp or hair pin corners. 🙌🏻 Once we arrived at the ruins Miriam was our exclusive guide.  We stopped 4 times and were given approx 5 minutes to explore on our own before regrouping.  It was rated as a moderate excursion and I would agree with that.  It was about 3.8 miles ship to ship. Lots of uneven walking paths so wear proper footwear. Climbing the steps is a work out in itself given their uneven and slippery nature. All in all we really liked this excursion.  Definitely worth the money.  I was overheating with the humidity; which was 100%. 😩😨 We are use to heat but not that level of humidity in Alberta. We were in the middle of a rain forest so it was to be expected but it still tuckered us all out. Here are photos from our various stops.  

 

You and me both. lol 

Like I say they talk a good WJ game but fail at execution. 🤣🤣

7:30am.

Insanity. That's a time I am often there and I've never seen it like that. Usually doesn't get nuts until much later in my experience. For the record, even I wouldn't go near it if I saw that. That's no failure in my book.
I'm really going to appreciate the WJ on Wonder. The redesigned layout is nice and there are extra options (the usuals like Solarium Bistro and Park Cafe, but even ELF had a small but nice breakfast set-up with no one there in June).

I believe hell is personalized for everyone. That would be one part of mine ....

Omg! I am sitting here drinking my tea and I literally almost spit it out! That is hilarious. He didn't want to venture in? lmao

Tonight was Country night and we ate at Jaime’s with our friends. This was the first night we ate together due to the up charge for them on the 24th and 25th.  When we had lunch there on embarkation day our waiter Alex was great so we requested him tonight and Berty made that happen.  We ordered all the appetizers in multiple quantities and many of the entrees.  Service and food was excellent. We surprised Simon and Chanon with a 25th anniversary celebration.  It was a great night. Surprising friends with celebrations is a great star class perk.  @asquared17 you would be proud, lots of truffle dishes ordered. My favorite was truffle Burrato. That was a surprise I wasn’t expecting.

We could solve this mystery if only I brought a heat gun. Lol  I am probably not a good judge of heat coming from a wintery climate; I wonder if the humidity may be at play while we sleep. Possibly making us sweaty. 96 today with 50% humidity.  Some great weather in our forecast but why why why the humidity! 😩

Haha, blame the food coma. We rarely snack as a result but I have made special requests throughout the week. I read about all this food and snacks on everyone’s blogs and I have FOMO. 😂 Poor Lindsay returned to the suite tonight after a huge meal at Jaime’s to this. 🤣
