We spent Sunday afternoon wandering the decks and getting to know the ship a little. We found water slides all over that have multiple landing locations. I had to learn where all the sports bars were as well as the big screens for watching football Sunday. The center of the ship has a 40' screen that can be viewed from at least 3 decks. Our rooms were ready at 2:30 so we did some unpacking before the sail away party on the top deck at 4PM. NCL had a plane flying over the ship on the way out welcoming all the CruiseOne agents on board. After passing by South Beach we were headed for Costa Maya, Mexico. We went to an Italian place for dinner and ended up in a blues bar called Fat Cats. The band was incredible and I seriously wanted to ask them what they were doing on a cruise ship!
Peg spent much of the sea day Sunday in conference sessions while I watched the NFL games and kept up with my fantasy team. My day was blemmished by seeing my starters not score and the guys on my bench getting touchdowns left and right. We spent the evening on the ship at the National Conference Award ceremony (which was very well done) and took some photos around the ship. After taking a group picture which included some 800 travel agents, we went to the Ice Bar for a drink and took some pictures. They have special coats to wear in the ice bar as the temperature is 17 degrees. It was a fun experience but the drinks were pre-mixed in jugs and the vodka content was so low my drink actually slushed up and froze in my hand!
Sunday was very relaxing and I got some work done too. This morning we are docked at Costa Maya so Peg and I will head over to the beach and spend a hot sunny day there. The beach here has turned into a great thing to do as they have jet skis, snorkeling, massages.....you name it, all within a 5 minute taxi ride of the pier. Well....time to go have some fun. I am starting to fall into vacation mode now.
