Hey loves. I am jumping back in and sharing all about our cruise to the Mexican Rivera we did with Norwegian back in March.
I already shared Cruise and California vacation by Numbers, and Cruise and California Vacation Day 1 and Cruise and California Vacation Day 2 Embarkation Day
Monday March 2 - At Sea
Time difference means we are up early. We had breakfast at the buffet and off wandering the ship by 7am. We found some seats on the observation deck, which is all enclosed but the Norwegian Bliss was designed for Alaska tours and the colder weather.
Since it was still early we wandered to the bath of the boat to check out some of the adult areas.
Relaxing watching the ocean while we wait for the kids club to open.
We dropped the kids off then headed to check out the library. There are books that you can check out at specific times, and games to play. On sea days it is pretty busy.
After the library Ella and I went to get her texting for the week. Since Brian had the unlimited data plan and had international calling (welcome to working 24/7) he could text any time with his iphone. Our friends also have iPhones and the data plan. To be able to contact Ella while on the boat if she wasn't with us we had to get her the texting plan and the what's app (or whatever the texting app is) to be able to communicate because she has an Android.
(this also means my kids didn't have any internet the whole week and barely were on their tablets playing games we downloaded. They watched whatever movies were on the TV and played some card games and colored.)
The Local is a restaurant that our friends were having breakfast at so we stopped to join them.
Numerous times a day you could find me by this view. At Mojito bar getting a pineapple mojito and a virgin mojito for Ella from our amazing bartender Mario. After two visits her remembers all 5 of our names and what drinks we usually drank.
Before lunch it was time to pick up our kids from the kids club. They are closed during meal times for breaks, naps, and to eat. We had lunch at the buffet , went back to our room to change and go swimming for a little bit. Then back to the room for an afternoon nap. (Between time zones and vacation naps were wonderful)
We took the kids to the buffet for dinner then dropped them off at the kids club. Anna and Austin loved the kids club. We dropped Ella off at the teen club to check it out and she was not impressed. She was able to sign herself out and ended up back at the room. She brought crafts to keep her busy and watched TV.
The adults went and saw a comedian until it was time for our dinner at La Cucina, which was delicious.
We spent the evening checking out a juggler, and piano bar that were both blah. We grabbed the kids at 9:45 then headed to bed.
First we did take the kids to an upper deck to see the full moon, which was so bright.
Tuesday March 3- At Sea
We slept in a little. Got a shower then had breakfast at the buffet again.
Another day at sea meant kids went to the kids club, parents and Ella wandered around and got mojitos.
We picked up the kids, had lunch at the buffet and Anna found a love for virgin Pina Coladas and strawberry daiquiris by the pool
Ella never went swimming on the ship, she would sit at a chair with all our stuff and play solitaire.
While at the pool we saw dolphins and sharks in the water.
There was a nap and some relaxing before we had dinner at the buffet for the kids.
We found a bar at the buffet that did espresso Martinis in glasses you didn't spill.
The kids went swimming in the hot tubs again then headed to the kids club.
We ended the night with picking up the kids and heading to bed around 10.
Thank you for stopping by!!!!! If you are new here,
Feel free to follow along.
XOXO
