Monday, January 6, 2020 - Cozumel and Pirate Night
I'm having trouble managing DISboards today and cannot multiquote or post pics in the way that I could. Trying to move along with this report.
Peter woke up early on Cozumel Day to work out and took some sunrise pics, or should I really say, pics around the time of sunrise, as it was overcast so he couldn't technically see it:
He came to get me for breakfast, and we went up top to watch the pilots escort us in to Cozumel. I have an eternal appreciation for pilots, as my grandfather worked on one in NY harbor during my youth.
We grabbed a nice filling breakfast at Cabanas. I'm not gonna necessarily say how many plates we filled. I LOVE bagels and lox and all the fixin's and also Mickey waffles, so I ate at least one of each every morning for the rest of the cruise. Weirdly, the pancake was not good...though I'm not sure how one messes up a pancake, but, I tried it, and this one was enough. We later learned that there was also a special sandwich of some sort each morning, and those didn't necessarily repeat. So say, if there was bacon egg and cheese on a croissant one day, the next day there may have been egg and sausage on a muffin. We missed the sandwich this day and in retrospect I thought it was probably the best of the week but it never appeared again. I told Peter we have to do another Disney cruise so we can taste that sandwich haha!
Going back over the photos of this day, it seems we drank an awful lot of adult beverages, much more than usual for us, and apparently we kicked the day off right with this amazing Bloody Mary right from the bar in Cabanas, a surprise gift from my sweet hubby:
This made up for the barely drinkable coffee! Delicious! Hubby knows how to order my Bloody Marys, spicy and chewy! Looking back, we could probably have bought a few decent coffees from Cove Cafe for the price of the cocktail, but hey, we were on vacation, and I have to mention here that the cocktails aboard are all very fairly and decently priced! It seemed like a better value, since we weren't supposed to have to pay for coffee. Spoiler alert, more drinks to come!
After a leisurely breakfast, we made our way to our designated meeting place for our excursion, our first-ever-booked-through-any-cruise-line excursion. The excursion we chose was called The Original Tequila Experience by Jose Quervo operated by Discover Mexico Park (see where I'm going with the drinks, no lie...). Our meeting was in the D Lounge at 10:15 am. Yes a tequila excursion that begins at 10:15 am. You can obviously see why it was necessary to begin the day with a blood mary!
Stay tuned for our thoughts on our tipsy excursion!
