Tuesday, I spent my first full day at sea. We departed Nassau at approximately 6:30pm Monday night and didn't arrive into Cozumel until 9:00am Wednesday.
I wondered if I'd get a little 'cabin fever' however I didn't as there is so much to do on the ship. I started the day off with breakfast at Central Park and I made a new little friend called CoCo (luckily that's just his little nickname). This adorable baby who was so sweet bless him.
I wanted to catch some sun so I spent some time by the pool sunbathing. Apparently Brazilian bikini bottoms are not the done thing here. In my defence, most women wear the most coverage swimsuits due to being slightly larger in size.
After lunch, I had a slot pull organised. Over 100 people bet $15. We all won $8 and lost two hours of our lives!
After some relaxing (and disappointing slot poll), I figured it was time for some adrenaline so I went to the rock climbing wall.
I've done rock climbing a little before but this seemed very high!! My legs were literally like jelly. Thank god I have good upper body strength! I'm shocked but I actually made it to the top.
After that excitement it was time to get ready for dinner. I was pretty tired so soon after dinner I decided to have an early night.
I woke up nice and early as I wanted to go for a jog before breakfast. I forgot how difficult is it to run in the heat! The view along the jogging track was lovely though.
I decided to book an excursion for Cozumel (pretty much Daddy and sisters orders) so I booked a nice safe ATV tour in the jungle to the Jade Caves.
I wasn't sure what exactly an ATV was but it turns out it's a quad bike. Turns out this bad boy got a top speed of 45MpH (sorry Daddy).
The cave was crap but I loved riding through the muddy water and getting it everywhere. I kept squeaking with excitement.
After the tour, it was time to do some shopping. I saw a lovely tanzanite tennis bracelet for $179 that I loved! I didn't even think I could haggle so I simply bought it. I'm hoping it's not a dud. I'm going to speak to the shopping team onboard to check.
I did however managed to haggle a good deal on cigars for my boyfriend. The deal is, he doesn't smoke it infront of me though.
After the shopping there was time for a quick photo and back onto the ship.
Back onboard it was margarita time (Daddy's orders), then the Captain came over the speaker system to say due to another hurricane heading straight to Costa Maya (WTF!) we were being diverted back to Nassua.
Now I must admit, I pretty much went white as a ghost when I heard that. I know that they have some sophisticated systems to check on the weather and ensure our safety but there's still a worry that someone fucks up!
Even tonight I've noticed the ship moving a lot!! It's swaying loads. I watched one of the shows and I just kept watching the curtains swaying.
I'm currently in the Champagne Bar and I've decided the best way to deal with this is to drink to forget. I'm currently on cocktail number two so it may take some time.
Wish me luck guys...
