Mexican Riveria Cruise

I went on my first cruise in May. It was a 7 day
Mexican Riviera cruise. The 3 ports were: Cabo,
Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlan. But Mazatlan was
closed, so we went to Cabo for 2 days. I went
with my good friend, Candice. The 1st day on the
ship we relaxed, started our drinking pina coladas,
and went to the piano bar. The piano bar was really
fun. People sat around the bar - a guy sat in the
middle and played the piano, and we all sang along.


The 2nd day on the ship we layed out in the sunshine,
played bingo, swam, and layed out some more. That
night was our 1st formal night.


The 3rd day of the cruise was our first port in Cabo.
We went snuba diving. Which is a combo of snorkeling
and scuba diving. You are attached to oxygen and you
go down to a depth of 20 feet. We did that for about 30
minutes, and it was awesome!!! We saw lots of fish's
and held a seahorse & a sea urchin. I want to learn to
scuba dive one day. Then we went and walked around
Cabo and played on the beach. Candice and I got Henna
tattoos. And Candice got an awesome lap dance from a
stranger. I got a kiss on the cheek from a guy selling
dresses.We met some girls from our cruise who spoke
Spanish and were totally drunk, so they added some
laughter to our afternoon.


The 4th day of our cruise was another day in Cabo.
We went para-sailing, and then took a glass bottom
boat tour to lover's beach, and the infamous arch. We
also went to a bar where they hang you upside down.
The rest of the day we walked around Cabo and did
some shopping. I gut also offered to be my 'Mexican
Boyfriend.' Good times in Mexico!!!


The 5th day of our cruise was our port in Puerto
Vallarta. We went on a jeep and beach excursion.
We got to see the 'real' Mexico. We drove in a jeep
with 'Mexican Air Conditioning & Mexican Massage."
( This was the wind in our hair and the bumps
in the road, in case you couldn't figure it out yourself.)
We stopped at a tequila factory and then ended at the
beach.


The 6th and 7th day of our cruise we were at sea,
on the way back to Long Beach. We drank more
pina coladas, sang karaoke, went to comedy shows,
stalked a guy that played country music & played the
guitar (we called him our cowboy), went to the piano
bar again. And ate to our hearts content. Food is
available 24/7, including all you can eat soft serve ice
cream. We loved the guys (Mario, Marcel, and Eduardo)
that served us dinner every night, and the guy (Jimmy)
that cleaned our room and made our awesome towel
animals every night.


We didn't want our vacation to end, so we went to
Disneyland for 2 days. My favorite place!!! We also
stopped in Las Vegas on the drive home.
