Hi

Di and I just returned from a 5 Day cruise to Cozumel and Progreso Mexico...

Other Cruise Lines just didn't do it for me...

Missed the Disney Magic

Enjoyed the Mayan Ruins in Progreso, Chichen Itza

Glad you're back and I'm sure you had fun even if it wasn't the Magic.

Walt and Di,
My very very very first cruise was on the Ecstasy with my sister her stepson and my son, out of LA doing Catalina and Ensenada . I'll never forget going into our inside stateroom and getting all excited cause there were curtains in there thinking it was a window. Opened it up and there was a wall. My sister and I just laughed and laughed. That was 7.5 years ago.
Carnival isn't horrible, but it definately isn't Disney, which we did the year after with her DD and SDD. But the price is definately right.
Sean would love to go to Chichen Itza, hoping someday we will get to see it.

Ecstasy was just refurbished. Reminded us of Las Vegas lights/clubs/entertainment/gambling.

Trip advisor recommends - Uxmal, but that excursion was cancelled due to lack of interest. Even our tour guide, a Mayan decendant, stated that Uxmal has better preserved ruins....Didn't like the locals hawking goods every step of the tour...

Tried not comparing Disney to Carnival, but rated C a 7.5 and Disney a 10 on all aspects of cruising.

Saved money by riding the bus to/from the ship terminal at Galveston, TX.

Your pictures are very nice - looks like you had fun - but I understand nothing can compare to Disney and Bober friends!! Assuming we following through with plans for Oct. western on the Magic, we will be stoppping in Cozumel. What do you recommend for excursions, both pro and con?

Hi Nancy,

Thanks. Di and I had fun with our HOG friends.

Maybe BOBers can help with excursions in Cozumel. The first time, storm postponed our Dolphin Swim with Mike and Robin. We just shopped. This time, we planned to shop with our friends celebrating their honeymoon.

Ok, here finally are the photos from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC:

First here are a few from the hostel we stayed in. It was very plain and simple but very clean, quiet at night and cheap...... $20 per person (in NYC that is incredible!):
