Are We There Yet?

Move over Mayans, Senor Froggers coming through! 

Cozumel, Mexico is home to affordable silver, scuba diving, Tequila, and recently, a piece of my heart over my final destination on the Carnival Liberty. 

Coming straight from the Cayman Islands, we decided to take advantage of our last dose of Caribbean sun, and nestle our toes in none other than Playa Mia. Just a cab ride, (an expensive cab ride), and a small entrance fee, Andres and I were enjoying unlimited mixed drinks and a trampoline on water. 

Here are Andres and I in the central plaza right outside the port. This Mayan Temple fountain makes a great photo-opt, however, I highly suggest visiting the actual Ruins, (one of the seven world wonders.) Unfortunately, our time frame was limited; visiting the ruins would have not left us any downtime time to explore the city. Fortunately, we had the privilege of savoring in other friendly passenger's outrageous descriptions of it. If you are in town and have the time, I highly suggest it.

Tip: Do NOT purchase anything around the cruise port. Go into the city for cheaper prices and better deals. We had to learn the hard way when Andres bought a Mayan calendar from a kiosk inside of this plaza, only to find a bigger, better and a fraction-of-the-price one downtown. 

Here is an image of the infamous Playa Mia. This beach park is a wonderful site for people of all ages with all needs. Packages are offered to satisfy your desires, such as snorkeling, buffet-style lunches or simply unlimited beverages. Just a swim out in its transparent waters, you can enjoy a water trampoline or a mountain climb. Swimming pools and lockers are provided on site as well.

Tip: Cab fares to destinations are provided at the ship's port. Do not get inside of a cab without verifying actual prices. Native cab-drivers are always trying to haggle prices. 

Tip: Bring your own goggles, snorkel and other water equipment with you from home. It is cheaper than renting.


Here is a great picture of Andres and I with the cruise ship in the background. We are at Senor Frogs right outside the port.

Tip: When you are at your destination, and if you happen to be around the cruise ship during lunch or dinner hours, keep in mind that you can always go back onto the ship at anytime. Grabbing your already-paid-for meals can be cheaper than spending money on food elsewhere. Take note at the trail of people constantly entering and exiting the ship. 

 Here is a picture of Holly, Ali and I inside of giant photo-opt cake at Senor Frogs.

Here is a picture of Hans and Andres posting inside of two Mexican boots with pistols. Tequila shots+Caribbean sun=  This kind of impact.


This is a picture of interesting shirt that we saw one of the waiter wearing in Senor Frogs. 

Tip: Referring to number 10- Do not drink the water in Mexico. You need to be careful consuming water in any foreign country, so to be on the safe side, I suggest either bringing water bottles from the cruise ship or stopping at a gas station in Mexico and picking up a couple water bottles to take with you on the beach.  



This was the last picture taken in Cozumel, Mexico/Carnival Cruise. From left to right Holly father, unknown, mother, Hans, Andres, Corey, Holly, unknown, Ali, me, and Holly's brother. Balloon hats, yard stick Margarita glasses and bikinis pretty much sum up my trip, and I think it is safe to say that I left my heart in good hands.
