# 4 We took a Christmas cruise to Mexico.

We thought we would share our trip with you

Thursday 12/11  

Still at Sea

The ship had us set our clocks ahead for another hour last night because now we are in the Central Time Zone. I think we are suffering from “jet lag”, we’ve gone two hours earlier in two days. We woke up to a sun shiny morning at sea. We sat on our veranda and enjoyed the sound of the waves and the rising sun. We passed an area where pods of dolphins leapt out of the water, putting on quite a show.

The ship offered a Mexican Brunch. We sat with two other couples. One from Victoria BC and the other from Palm Desert CA. They were fun to talk with.

Afterward we went up top to the Crow’s Nest, observation deck, and enjoyed the warm sun on us.

At 1:30, after a buffet lunch, we headed for the Explorers Lounge to hear the 2 pm Vivace duo on piano and cello. The wonderful classical music that ranged from Dvorak to Mendelssohn while sitting next to the window as the waves passed by was a heavenly experience.  

The swimming pool and whirlpools were crowded, so we didn’t get to swim or soak.

We found the dining room a great place to have dinner!

We were served by waiters and white linen tablecloths for every meal. The food selections were what we would call gourmet. We decided we could get used to this!

Such a relaxing day!!
