December Cruise

We just got back from a 4 night cruise out of Tampa to Cozumel Mexico on Royal Caribbean. We went with our friends, Marilyn and Gus Lopes. They are nearly profession cruisers as they are Diamond Plus members in the Crown and Anchor Club. We are only Gold members but they were able to take us along for many of the perks they get.

Here is Carol, Marilyn and Gus enjoying complementary champagne in the lounge for the diamond members. We had plenty of it each evening!!!
This cruise made a stop at only one port, Cozumel.  Jim did not go ashore because he  was still nursing a torn ligament in his left knee. There was just too much walking for him as he was still using a cane. The major reason to go ashore was to get some reasonable priced Kahlua. Each couple got 2 liters for  only $10.00 per liter, a great price.
Of course one of the obligatory pictures is the formal picture on "dress up night".

Here we are in our finest!!

One of the cute things done on the last day at sea was the baking of a cake made into a "gator" for lunch. The kids, and adults enjoyed the cake after lunch.
