Mexico Cruise

Dustin and I went on a 7-day Mexican Riviera Cruise in March. We planned to go closer to our 15th Anniversary in August, but the cruise lines are very strict about not allowing people to cruise if they are over 24 weeks pregnant. We had a really great time and enjoyed some amazing adventures. In Puerta Vallarta we swam with the dolphins. They are such amazing creatures and we fell in love with "our" dolphin Lluvia.
 
The cruise ship was really nice and luckily we were assigned to a dinner table with some great couples. The first few days of the cruise, you are sailing day and night to your first destination, which meant that we got to know that ship REALLY well. We played a couple of games of Bingo, went on the waterslide, played miniature golf, and enjoyed some delicious food. Dustin even got up the nerve to sing a little karoake (Barry Manilow's 'I Write the Songs') and the audience loved him!
 
Our favorite stop was Mazatlan. There is great shopping (they actually bargain there!) and BEAUTIFUL beaches. We were able to eat at and utilize the facilities at a beautiful resort there, which kept the hundreds of vendors selling chicklets, etc. on the beaches, at a distance. Dustin and I both got fabulous massages for $10 each! We almost went back again.
 
Cabo San Lucas was our last stop. There were beautiful beaches there, but the city is so built up and modern, that it didn't feel too much like Mexico. We spent the day swimming and relaxing on Medano beach. It was an amazing trip that we won't soon forget!
