Mariner of the Seas!

"Mariner of the Seas"

We were delayed for an hour in LA. Dave asked one of the workers what was going on. We were waiting for the toilet paper. Ha! Ha! But we really were!

Good Bye LA!! Hello Mexico!!!

So Dave and I just got back from a 7 day cruise to Mexico on the Mariner of the Seas from Royal Caribbean. It was awesome but this was our 2nd time here cruising but last time we went with Princess, we will not be doing this cruise again for a LONG time. You can only see Mexico so many times and 3 times is good for us. If you have never cruised before you have never vacationed like anything else. Here are my top 6 reasons why everyone should cruise...

1. CHEAP! Well worth your money! For 7 days it cost us $350 plus $100 for gratuity. (each) That includes your room, your food all day everyday, your entertainment, and all the shows! And we are lucky because we don't pay for airfair!!! But it gets better for us...we have been saving our credit card points so we had $600 for our cruise so our grand total for the both of us was...$400 TOTAL. Wahoo!!!
2. The entertainment! From the Broadway shows to the comedians. Well worth it!
3. The Relaxation!!! What is a vacation...RELAXATION!!! Just sipping on some Pina Coladas by the pool while baking in the sun and listening to a live Jamaican Band. Aaah...so peaceful.
4. The Food. It does depend on the cruise ships you go on but Oh My Gosh the food is so...good!
5. There is something for everyone! Whether you just like to relax by the pool, or go on hikes, or love to shop there is something for everyone!
6. They cater to your kids!!! For kids that are 3 and potty trained they will take care of them for you so you can go to your nice dinner and show or whatever you want to do. There are so many things for kids to do on the ship! Even though we did not take Dexton. We will though one day. We hope to take our family on the Disney Cruise in the future...far far in the future. I heard that one is pricey!
