Day 3- Cruisin' Into Cozumel

GOOOOOOOOOD MOOOORNIIIIINNNGGGG COZUMEL!!!!!!!!!
So here are the pictures form our AWESOME day in Mexico! And don't expect the juicy pics...I am not that stupid! HAHAHA!!! :-)

We have arrived!!


Is that not the most gorgeous blue water you have ever seen!?!? It looks like a swimming pool!


Do we all look like ants standing next to this thing, or what!?!?


I love looking at the ship from this angle...its size just so amazing.


Cheeeese! Lets start our day...where are going first? Carlos & Charlie's or Senor Frogs??


Can you tell I was just in awe of our ship??


And the water...I still can't believe this is the Gulf of Mexico! (A new note: Lori, you were partying in the Carribean...DUH??? Thankfully, my friend, Lisa, pointed that out to me. Thanks girl! I am such a blonde! Its ok though, my husband thought the Vatican was in Poland! LOL! I guess that's why we make a great couple.)


This is going to be a long walk back this afternoon when we have had a few...


Yep, there is no mistaken it, I am a tourist!


Of course we both had to pose!


Calgon, Take me AWAY!!!


The great 'arm-out' shot!


OHHHH! JUST TAKE ME FAR FAR AWAY!!!!


Haha!! Let the Drinkin' games begin!!


Anybody want to go play on the inflatables?? How cool was that!? The water was COLD!!!


Yeah, we know what our drinks look like in our hands, but they are palm trees! Strawberry Pina Colada...YUMMY!!


Helllooooo Gorgeous Eyes!! Our bartender...


Yep, our drinks are kickin in!


Anybody up for surfing?? Or just pulling up an old blue chair!?


Just give me an old blue chair, a bucket of beer, and Kenny Chesney or Bret Michaels to serenade me...aaahhhhh!!!!!


OK- the alcohol has officially started kickin' in, we are shedding clothes! HAHA!!


Our arrival at bar #2...Coconuts! Our taxi driver brought us here...who knew??


I can't help but feel like my Uncle Mike &/or Father-In-Law would truly appreciate this.


Well OK, Miss Thang! Misty has the perfect idea!


This bird hangs out ON the bar...he was fun!


Well hell...lookie here!! We follow in other LSU fans' footsteps!


Coconuts very own Garfield! Look how FAT he is!! (There was 2 dogs walking around, too...Animals in a bar and restaurant?? Only in Mexico...oh well, tequila kills everything!)


On to a yummy Mai Tai...or 2! The food was great too!


Welcome to Senor Frogs! 3 bars in one day, Damn we are GOOD!!
Bottoms up!!


A yard of Senor Frog...I have no clue what was in it, but it was GREEN and GOOD!!!


Damn Drunks! Ha! Our eyes had a nice GLAZE! Oh, and our taxi driver left us here...I don't blame him! Its all good. As my brother and Sharon say, "Just roll with it baby!" We jumped into a another taxi and away we went to the ship! What an awesome day! I hated to leave.

Day 2- The Night Life

The Night Life!! Friday night is the Captain's Ball and Dinner. Its formal to semi-formal. And the best part was at the ball, you got to meet the Captain and ALL of his crew...and the drinks were free!! You only had a few choices, but hey you can't be choosy when you are saving $9.00 a drink! So 4 or 5 screwdrivers later (for me)...we were off to eat...lobster, crab cakes, shrimp, steak...oh it was soooo good!
Sorry if some pics are blurry, some people don't understand the focus trick on my camera...its OK though.




We may be Mommies, but I think we still look good! Ha! :-)



In the Captain's Ball...Let's Party!!



Our Cruise Director. She was funny! And she started at the bottom of the food chain 12 years ago! What an awesome life to live!



So here is the Captain, from Italy, (the short guy in the middle) and all of his crew. OK- if they are all here, who the hell is steering the ship!?!?



The Wait staff serenaded us during dinner. How cool!



Best friends, Natalie and Stacey, sat at our table. Natalie lives in Maine, and Stacey lives in Lafayette!



Best Friends, Rachel and Jordan. Rachel goes to school in Sawanee, TN (about 2 hours from me), and Jordan works and lives in New Orleans. She speaks Russian...how cool! She gave us a crash course in Martini lingo!



Best Cousins!!



Our Maitre' D, Stan the Man. We renamed him: STAN STAN THE SEXY MAN!!!



Later that night, karaoke bar! Mary and Morgan (2 other girls we made friends with) are on the far left. And the 2 Indian guys in the middle just liked hanging with all of us. (I think I have a flashing sign above my head that attracts them that says 'I dated one of you') and the other people were part of a choir group on the ship. They were amazing!
* Mary is from Minden, LA and knows my cousin, Eddie. Morgan is from Jena, LA. Small world!



After a long night of partying. We went to the Lido deck at 2 AM and had some pizza, then retired for the night! This little guy was chilling on our bed when we got there. Cute frog, huh?

Cruisin' Day 2- The Daytime Fun

Alright, Day 2! Relaxation at its finest! And some GREAT entertainment. I will post the night pictures after this. :-)



CHEEEEESSEEEEE!!!!!!



Wish you were here...OK, not really! Ha!



The Lido Deck A.K.A. The FUN deck with FOOD!



Another view of the Lido Deck.



A guy working on an ice sculpture. It was really neat to see him take a block of ice and chisel it into 2 love birds kissing in the shape of a heart. Sorry, I didn't get a pic of the finished product.



Hairy Chest Contest Contestants!! This was sooooo hilarious! These guys has to dance around 3 ladies and run their hands on their hairy chest and try to get the the loudest cheers!



We have never laughed so much until this! And all I could think was, "Wow! My husband could take the cake between his hairy chest and his crazy dance moves!" Haha!



Work it!! Work it!!



Have you ever seen a black lady blush?? It was great!!



This guy really wanted to win.



He was so funny! The ladies loved him!
Ohhh yeah baby! Getcha some!! Haha!!



Oh man, does it ever stop??



How low can you go??



The 3 final contestants had to give their best dog bark! The last guy howled and pointed like a huntin' dog! It was great!!



And then they had to yell like Tarzan and "kill" an anaconda. (It was a wet beach towel!)



Our winner is....
It was so beautiful! The gulf was so calm...I never knew it was sooo BLUE! It was just awesome!
