Girlfriends Cruise 2025 - Days 7 and 8 - Sea Day with Chef's Table and Return Home

 We have our last Sea day today and I want to enjoy it as much as I can while still getting all the "requireds" done.

Our last breakfast together gets the day off right.

Girlfriends Cruise 2025 - Day 6 - Cozumel, Mexico

 Cozumel and fun awaits us today.  We are playing on our own and looking forward to fun.  Last year's visit can be found in this 2024 Trip post.  Check it out if you want more information than I'm giving today.

Here comes Cozumel!!

Girlfriends Cruise 2025 - Day 5 - Costa Maya (Mahahual, Mexico)

Today's port is Costa Maya, Mexico and we really don't have any plans.  Last time here, we did do an excursion and saw a bit more of the area.  Here is the 2024 LINK if you wish to see more about this part of the world.

I'm up and watching us come into port - looks like we have company today.

Girlfriends Cruise 2025 - Day 4 - Isla Roatan, Honduras

 We have our first port day today and the only excursion that we have paid for.  We are doing the Top 10, but there are not 10 stops so it's a bit misnamed.  At any rate, come along and see a bit of Isla Roatan.  I did do different things last trip, so here is the 2024 LINK if you are interested in seeing more of the island.

I'm in love with being able to watch us come into port from the balcony of our room.  It is such a full view.  This docking always throws me for a bit as we back into port.  My view became out to sea after a bit.

Girlfriends Cruise 2025 - Days 1-3 - Departure and Sea Days

 The girls and I have all met up!  It's time to board the ship and we are EXCITED!!  Some of us have been on the Jubilee before so I'm not going to share all the features of the ship this time.  If you are interested in seeing spots all around her, here is the 2024 LINK where I did post many pictures.

We get a bit of a photo bomb, but we're almost there. 

Bermuda Trip - Days 8-9 - Sea Days

 Waking today, I have a bit more energy and get up and dressed to walk the ship a bit.  This is the overlook onto Lido.

Bermuda Trip - Day 7 - Bermuda Day 3

 It is our last day in Bermuda and we have chosen to explore the area around King's Wharf and the Royal Navy Dockyard.  A unique place I read about is Glass Beach.  It is within walking distance, but kind of hidden and neither of us really is feeling top notch.  Yep, getting sick - so sad.  We still have our scooter and it takes us there in less than 10 minutes.  Check this out - so cool.  Once you "think" you are on the right path, these little signs help a bit.

Bermuda Trip - Day 6 - Bermuda Day 2

 Good Morning!  It's a bit stiff and sore around here today due to yesterdays snafu, but we are raring to go and explore some more.  As we leave the ship, our guy sees us off.

Bermuda Trip - Day 5 - Bermuda Day 1

 Good Morning --- beautiful sunrise happening even with clouds.

Bermuda Trip - Day 4 - Sea Day

 It's a Sea Day and I love that we just get to relax a bit.  Out on the balcony and loving life next to the beautiful ocean waters.

Girls Trip - Day 8 Sea Day and Pasta Class

 With the port days behind us, our last sea day begins and we're starting with a pasta making class.  I've been super excited about this one and am ready to learn and taste yummy Italian goodness.

Girls Trip - Day 7 - Cozumel and Chef's Table

 Our final port day is today and Kelly is in charge.  We are going to be in Cozumel, Mexico and just do some exploring around the island.  However, before that happens (we are not even docked yet) I am wandering the ship in the early hours and have a few more pictures for you.  The towel animals are on display on lido today.  Take a peek.

Girls Trip - Day 6 - Mahahual (Costa Maya), Mexico

 What a beautiful morning!  It's another port day and today we are stopping in Costa Maya, which is simply the name of the port (and, again, pretty much owned by the cruise lines).  The town is Mahahual.  New to you?  Yep, me too and I've been to Costa Maya before. The last time was in 2005 and I was with a ton of family, so not venturing too far out.  I'm up before the sun again this morning and it's simply divine.

Girls Trip - Day 5 - Isla Roatan, Honduras

 Buenos Dias!  We are getting our feet on land today and I'm super stoked.  THIS day is why I booked this cruise.  Well, not completely truthful - turning Platinum was the main reason, but this itinerary was because of today.  Hello Isla Roatan.  The pilot boat is guiding us in as I arrive on the upper decks.

Girls Trip - Day 4 - Sea Day Relaxing and a Rescue

 With another Sea Day at hand, we're relaxing and taking it slow this morning.  Well, I was until I realized the ship had stopped.  As I was dressing, Kelly woke and asked the same question, "Why are we stopped?"  I replied that I was on my way to find out.  Up to the deck I went and discovered that we are meeting up with the Coast Guard from Cancun as we have a couple of people who need to depart due to a medical emergency.  Okay, that makes sense.  I take a picture of the Cancun shoreline to show how close we are, go back to the room to share info with Kelly, and then leave to meet Frieda for breakfast.  The ship is back to cruising.

Girls Trip - Day 3 - Sea Day and Sushi Class

 We are at sea and the only thing on the agenda for today is a sushi class that Gwen and I are taking later this morning.  For now, breakfast in the dining room.

The Medium Adventure Ends - Two More Sea Days and Home - Whew

 With our ports behind us, we've hit the final sea days and are on our way back to Baltimore.  As I walk past the map in the atrium, I thought I'd snap a picture to share.  This shows how totally crazy our trip has been and how we didn't even come close to Greenland.  You can see the backtrack towards Boston and all ---- We hadn't even reached Halifax when the decision to forgo our main destination took place.  The top --- which doesn't show well has us going up and down the Gulf of Lawrence numerous times.  St. Anthony and Corner Brook are further north.

Big Adventure Port 4 - Halifax, Nova Scotia

 The added port for this cruise is Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Today is her day.  She's not Greenland, but we've have a great time no matter what.  I'm ready to go, but . . .we have to get to port first.

Big Adventure Sea Day ?? Chef's Table for Dinner

 After yesterday, I'm kinda glad for a day to relax.  We have definitely put in some miles with climbing a mountain added in.  Taking it slow - some casino time (I JUST sat down when Mister took this picture, but I DO love the piggies), towel art,  and . . .

The Big Adventure Still Going - Sea Day ? and Port 3 - St. Anthony

 We've hit the 10th of the month and have another sea day ahead.  Out towel art for today is:
