I mentioned earlier in the week that one of our favorite ports was docking at Cozumel, Mexico. In addition to our sub-view ocean excursion, I wanted to share with you some additional highlights and photos from our trip. The excursion guides were smart. Right before we got on the boat they snapped a family photo. By the time we were done, they had the photos printed and in a cute frame for us to purchase. I couldn’t pass it up I thought the photo and the frame turned out great.
Shopping and Dining in Cozumel
After we were done with our excursion we did a little shopping and then everyone was hungry. We decided to dine at Three Amigos which is the restaurant that is front in center when you get off of the Carnival Breeze. I was afraid the boys were going to have a hard time finding something to eat. My daughter can always find something. In the end, the boys enjoyed cheese fries, my husband tried fish tacos, I had nachos, and my daughter LOVED her chicken quesadillas.
While we waited for our order we enjoyed a little entertainment by the staff and other guests. The atmosphere at the restaurant was electric and full of fun!
I’m curious about the drinking age in Mexico as a waitress tried to sell us some shots. She asked about the boys and said Nick, who is 14 was too young, but my son (who we said was 17) would be fine. After our lunch, everyone enjoyed themselves, and it cost 920 pesos (Doesn’t that sound like a lot, well it was about $80 US dollars), we took a little time for some photo ops. Update 4/26/24: The drinking age in Mexico is 18 but we found on a more recent trip they are a little lacking in that area. In addition, a 920 pesos meal in April 2024 would convert to only $57.
Photo Opportunities
My daughter is convinced she is a model, but I must say this is one of my favorite photos, though she doesn’t look like 8!
After our photos, we did some more shopping. I think we spent the most money in Cozumel there was just so much to see and buy! The kids each got hand-painted surfboards that they hung up on their walls. I was happy they ended up buying a souvenir they could enjoy and remind them of our amazing trip.
After our boat ride, lunch, and shopping we headed back to the Carnival Breeze. I couldn’t help but snap a photo of the beautiful blue water. One thing I’ve yet to do on any of our cruises is enjoy the beaches at our ports. I was really hoping to get a chance on this trip but it didn’t work out that way. Next cruise I see a beach with blue water in my future!
