Excursions

We made 3 stops on our cruise and did an excursion at each place. In Cozumel we have always done Passion Island.  Richard and I found that spot on our honeymoon and have always gone back because we loved it so much.  Unfortunately, this spot was not on the excursion list this time, so we had to try something new.  The only other trip similar was to a spot called Playa Mia, so we tried it.

The beach was beautiful and when we got there one of the families we knew on board also took that excursion, so the kids were off to play together in no time!  There was a huge inflatable park in the water that they played on first, then it was off to the water boats to try those out!

Afterwards, they decided they wanted to try the banana boat tube ride.  Only one adult was aloud in the boat so Richard went with them and I took the pictures! They said they had a blast and got thrown off several times!

We had a very relaxing day on the beach and having friends there made it all the more fun!

Our next stop was in Grand Cayman.  The cruise ship does not have a pier to pull up to at this island, so we have to take the tender boat in, which is always fun!

We had heard that the sting ray excursion was a must do because of the clear water.  We took a 45 minute boat ride out to a sand bar where the water was only up to our waist and looked like swimming pool water it was so clear!! The sting rays came right up to us and the boys loved snorkeling and swimming right down there with them!  There were large ones and there were a few baby ones that were a little smaller.  We were able to touch them and feed them and look at them up close while the worker held it for us.  It was a very cool experience and I would highly recommend it!!

Our last stop was in Jamaica.  We again found a beach that the kids could snorkel in.  This trip was a bit shorter and was cloudy with a shower or two, but it was still a beach in the Caribbean so I was not complaining one bit!!

We also found another family we knew on this excursion!  Friends are the best!!

Each one of our stops was breathtaking!  I wished I had gotten more scenery pictures!  Here are just a few!  We are so blessed that we are able to travel and see the world and expose our children to all of it, as well!  God's creation always amazes me! I am already looking forward to the next time we get to explore the world!
