Thar' she is!!! The Norwegain Jewel!
She was a beautiful ship and we had a great time.
We never saw a single pirate in this part of the Carribean :-)
Costa Maya, Mexico was one of our last stops on the cruise. We didn't take any tours or wander into the city. This was a location where a couple of our fellow cruisers broke legs on the zip-line. Above, is a picture of one part of the tourist village, including a few of the shops. It was all designed to entice tourists. There was even a big pool with a bar near-by. No Pepsi. Only Coke products. :-( I'll try to add a few captions for the pics .
We never agreed on what these were but they looked interesting. Figs maybe?
A pic of the Tequila Museum. Everyone had to drive or walk through a checkpoint to get here. We were told it was more of a store than a museum. Regardless, it didn't interest me.
We didn't take many pics of the shops but maybe this helps explain why it was a tourist village. The pic below is of a bar located near a pool in the middle of the complex. Okay. I admit it. I have blonde roots but people kept talking about the "underwater bar" people could sit at. I was/am clueless!
Each port we stopped at was geared specifically towards tourists. If you left the immediate area, it was recommended you travel in a group, preferably with one of the tour groups. The currency was Pesos- after all we were in Mexico. They had no problem, no problem at all, accepting our American dollars and giving change in American dollars. In contrast, when we were in Prince Rupert, British Columbia (Canada) in Sept, they would accept out dollars but change had to be in Canandian currency. Hmmm...

Hmmm...Stay tuned tomorrow for some pictures of Roatan or maybe the Midnight Chocolate Buffet on the cruise. A 3ft. tall chocolate Eiffel Tower! Mmmm Mmmmm Good!

Were they accepting American dollars staight across exchange? Maybe that's why they didn't have a problem with it. You were probably paying a lot more....No?
Enjoyed your photos!!!
