Cozumel, Mexico: day at the beach!

Since it was our last port day in what was a pretty port--intensive cruise we decided to do something relaxing in Cozumel. We made reservations for Nachi Cocom, an all-inclusive beach club and the plan for the day was to eat, drink and tan!

We caught a cab outside of the port and after a quick 15 minute ride, arrived at Nachi Cocom. When I imagine going on vacation to lie out on the beach in the Caribbean, this is the type of place I am imagining... bright, sunny weather, crystal clear water, and soft, white sand. Drinks and food were included and we had more pina coladas and frozen drinks within the first few hours than we had on the entire cruise. We also rented a float mat for the day which turned out to be a great idea since the water was as calm as a swimming pool and very conducive for floating!

we loved the float and spent a lot of time in the ocean... probably also the reason for the sunburn :P
We decided to call it a day in the early afternoon. The temperature just kept rising and after spending hours in the sun, we were all getting pretty wiped out just from being outside for so long. We caught a cab back to the port and decided to do some souvenir shopping before heading back to the ship.

Having just come back from our last port of call, we were all feeling like the trip was already over... it was a strange feeling to know that there was still a full sea day ahead followed by a full day in Miami after disembarkation.

Next up: a condensed summary of our last Sea Day and disembarkation day :(
