I am sad that I can't post every single picture to document this cruise because we had such a FABULOUS time! My Mom and Robert were generous as always and invited my family and my brother and his wife on a cruise for summer vacation. Unfortunately my brother and his wife could not go as she is too far along in her pregnancy to travel.
On our cruise we stopped in two places, the Yucatan and Cozumel. We left for Mexico out of Mobile aboard the Holiday. I think they are about to retire this ship as it has been around for a really long time and I am really glad that we got the opportunity to go on it before they did that because it is a really neat ship! They had a really awesome section for kids with netting all around the side rails of the boat, so it was really easy to play there since we were worry free. It had a Fisher Price like slide section and a baby pool and we could lay out there ALL DAY. There also wasn't as many people there and it wasn't as wild as it was at the other pools.
Aboard the ship they had a buffet style type breakfast and lunch and then of course the sit down dinner at night. I REALLY think we had the most entertaining waiter on the boat. I know this because they perform for you every night in song and dance and of course you know Zach had to bust out his moves for the dining room as well. I had unfortunately left my camera in the room that night so there are no pics to document this special event. :)
Our First stop was the Yucatan and we barely got off the boat to shop. There were a lot of excursions to go visit the ruins, but I really could not see Daley hiking 2 miles plus to see pyramid ruins. I didn't think she would appreciate it. There was a beach excursion that I thought would be alright, but I was out voted by the other members of the trip. "We" decided we should save our money for Cozumel and we could do a larger excursion there. Then, what did we end up doing in Cozumel???? Shopping! And who came out on top??? ME!!!!!! I got a really awesome watch in Cozumel at a really great price. My watch that I've had for a few years now has broken twice and the cost to fix it just wasn't worth it. I was supposed to get one for Christmas, but Christmas came early for me this year! When we were in Cozumel we also stopped along the way and ate at a "real Mexican restaurant"! Of course I was in heaven as Mexican food is my most favorite of all.
Overall we had such a good time and I hope we get to go on a cruise again in the future. They are so nice! You get towels folded into little animals every night in your bed. They take pictures of you everywhere, so you never have to worry about getting everyone in the picture. There are casino games and shows to watch at night and miniature golf and a huge pool slide to play on during the day. They are just the best and you are so well taken care of. I would recommend it to anyone! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Those are the same ports we stopped at! We were supposed to go to a few others but we were detoured b/c of a Hurricane (can't remember which one but it was 4 yrs ago and was the one that wiped out Cancun). Anyway, glad you guys had fun and enjoyed some good quality time!
You guys look like you had a blast!!
Linds, that's the same cruise Kels and I went on. We had fun too. I thought they were retiring the boat after our trip. We thought the buffet food was not that great.
We went sailing in Cozumel and Cave snorkling in Calica.
Glad you had fun!
