Day 5: NCL Sun Cozumel, Mexico

Today the port was Cozumel, Mexico. Since we decided not to go on an excursion we took our time getting off the ship. Cozumel turned out to be our least favorite port of our cruise. It was pretty much all about shopping, and even then it was difficult to find good bargains. The jewelry was expensive and the crafts were not of great quality in general. After perusing the bustling streets for several hours, the only things we bought were at Del Sol. We purchased a color-changing nail polish for $10 and got a free color-changing tote bag via a coupon given out on the ship. We did take some pictures at various areas including the Clock Tower, the gigantic flag pole and flag of Mexico, and the 50-ft+ tall Christmas Tree. We then boarded the tender boat to head back on board. The boat was very crowded (probably 250 people) and getting off of it back onto the cruise ship was an ugly experience. We had to wait about 45 minutes before getting back on the ship because there were so many people. And all the while we were breathing in smelly boat exhaust. This was definitely the lowlight of the cruise.

The entertainment today was highlighted by Jennifer Fair, a soprano singer from Ohio. The crowd was lighter than usual but it was a treat to the ears for those who showed up. Jennifer sang classical songs, Italian Opera, and even French songs. At the end everyone at the Stardust Lounge gave her a standing ovation. After the show we took pictures with her and bought her CD for $20. Afterwards we were treated to an Adult-Only comedy show by comedian Dave Heenan. This was the funniest of his three shows, and we had tears streaming down our eyes after some of the jokes!
