Carnival Mardi Gras Day 5 Mahogany Bay October 2022

Due to leaving for an excursion, I went to get a breakfast burrito from Blue Iguana and there was a towel animal invasion on the soggy lido deck.

I went to Mayan Princess, an all inclusive resort. I enjoyed the pool and did not bother with the beach. I really enjoyed the pool, there were very few of us, the pool was huge and had fountains all around.

Back on Board time for afternoon coffee, and snack, drinks in Alchemy. We had dinner at Chibang and had both Mexican and Chinese food and then played Deal or No Deal.

Carnival Mardi Gras Day 4 Costa Maya October 2022

Welcome to Costa Maya! When we go to Costa Maya, we always go to Maya Chan, but first breakfast from Big Chicken and morning coffee on the balcony.

We did the long walk at the port and was in our way to the bumpy ride. I had to bring my laptop and work for a few hours. The owner asked me about it, but I told him it was a great scenery and I would be able to enjoy the day afterwards.

Back on the ship, time for fries, dessert and afternoon coffee. I spent a while in the Serenity area. We had dinner at Guys BBQ and listened to the band for awhile.

Carnival Mardi Gras Day 3 Cozumel October 2022

I started off with some time on the treadmill with the great view. Then breakfast at Emeril’s, coffee, beignets and croissant sandwich with sweet potato fries.

We always go to Mr. Sanchos when we are in Cozumel. We get the romance package, which is the all inclusive, with the day bed and a 30 minute massage for each of us. The swim up bar is one of my favorites as well. One of the things I like about Mr. Sanchos is you order food off the menu instead of a buffet. The coconut shrimp is something we always get.

Back on the ship it was time for afternoon coffee, then drinks at Alchemy then we had dinner at the steakhouse and ended the night at the Havana music area.
