Pulled into Cozumel around 8am on Wednesday. We wern't planning on being at our private beach until 1030ish so we took it easy and decided to take the kids to sitdown breakfast at Royal Court. We wore the kids in our packs all through the meal the kids did great. The entire serving staff loved them so much they seemed to almost destracted by the boys. We met up with Ginger(Paul was still sick 
) and headed off to Mr Sanchos. I think we got screwed by a cabbie. I thought it was supposed to be set prices but we paid $28 bucks there and $17 back, but I guess we paid for speedy service with the first cab, cause he drove soooooo fast! Mr Sanchos was great, wonderful attentive staff and we were only bugged a few times by outside vendors. The food and drinks were included and all you can eat and drink in the $45 dollar charge and both were very good. The food wasn't prepaired until you ordered it which surprized me! I was expecting heat lamp type food. They had swinging beds. They worked great for boys to roll around on, and Austin and I got some nap time in a hammok too!!! Water cold but not terrible, pool water was fridgid though. I would recomend Sancho's to anyone! Tonight we had Polo dinner with Jelena again. It was wonderful and for the first time I ordered the souffle, yummy! We ran out of time at 10 and had to leave early to pick up the twins, so we did not get to have the Limoncello shot.
Boys did great with the SMN staff despite having been in there twice today, and they did the one awake one asleep game(It seemed like every night we picked up the boys, one would be wide awake and want to play for another hour and one would be fast asleep and stay asleep all night) I have to tell you that the two giant verandas with the door open between them was so convenient. I could take a fussy baby out there and walk or sit and comfort him and the sound of the rushing water and wind would put him right back to sleep. The dreaded propeller vibration really was not that bad. We were kinda scared after reading about how bad it could be on the boards, but other then when leaving some of the ports, the slight vibrations(only at certain times) actually helped the babies and myself sleep!

. We walked past 80% of the loungers with nothing but a towel or sandals or other junk holding chairs for people who would never arrive. We ended up brokering a deal with a family 4 that had two umbrella's and 6 loungers saved. We took the umbrella and two loungers they weren't using for the 2 hours we planned to be there and them give it back to them when we left.(They never used more than two of their loungers the whole time we were there
) Lunch at Cookies Too, was the most bland food of the cruise, but I was really hungry and it hit the spot. Since it was too cold to swim, and we didn't have anything else planned, we left the others and headed back to the ship. We got back around 1pm, napped and then took back the bottle sterilizer we didn't need. Then we toured the Oceaneer's club to see what was in our future! Had some coffee at the Vista Café(love it here, esspessially before a character meet). We put the boys in SWN an hour early tonight so we could do pub trivia in O'Gills before dinner. Jenny and I WON!!! We got a little Mickey trophy and two 
Bagus even let Jenny and I have the bottle of wine Ginger got us for our anniversary(yes even though it was in January but he didn't need to know that) with out the corking fee!!! I love these guys!
I was wondering how you got on with the food on the ship as I was planning on bringing some Ella's pouches, but was wondering if I needed to or is the stuff you can get for babies on the ship sufficient? TIA
