The Royal Caribbean Mexican Extravaganza

I know I haven't posted in along time but I'm about to make up for it...and then some! Last month Efrain and I went on a 7-day cruise to the Mexican Riviera. It was AMAZING! We went to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. Here are some pictures...(I'm going to scan our professional pictures tomorrow and post them on here)


Our room


Cruising!

So handsome!


Every night of the cruise our room attendant would leave an animal for us. This was the first one.

Our first day we went snorkeling in Cabo. We kept a life jacket on Efrain the whole time...he can't swim. (he doggy paddles really well)


On our way to snorkeling we saw these awesome rocks

We saw sea lions. We all figured this guy must be the "leader". He was HUGE! (and he posed)

This beach is called "Lovers Beach". It was so beautiful until I got stung by a jelly fish! It hurt so bad, but myboyfriend, the gentleman, offered to pee on me. NO THANKS!

We saw whales! It was a mother and a baby and definitley one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

This is a very lovely picture of me in my snorkel gear.

Us waiting for one of our MANY dance classes to start

In Mazatlan we hung out at the beach all day.

Our "Mexican Limo" that took us from the boat to the beach.

Our ship docked in Puerto Vallarta and in the foreground is the catamaran that took us to a private beach. It's the beach where they filmed a movie back in the 50's or something.



We saw these rock formations on the way to the beach we were going to. Funny thing is this is the same place I went snorkeling when I went to Puerto Vallarta right after high school graduation.

Just pictures of the beach


You could walk all over the hillside and they had little places to hang out.

They had hammocks all over the place and Efrain fell in love. He even bought one when we got back to town.

Here's the outdoor "restaurant" on the beach.

They had animals for you to hold and take pictures with...I thought the owl was going to attack Efrain

I was a little nervous


Another hammock for Efrain to love


Here's the view from the hammock

They also had a monkey you could take pictures with.

Puerto Vallarta in the distance from our catamaran.

One night they had a buffet by the pool. Even though we'd eaten dinner three hours before, we still pigged out.

Here is our monkey! :)

This is my favorite picture of Efrain. He tends to not be able to smile when people point a camera at him, but this one worked!

This is the theatre on the ship. It was the farewell show and they let a bunch of balloons go and people were hitting them everywhere. It looked so cool. (The picture doesn't do it justice.)

This was our last towel animal. He's so cute!

This is us and our dinner partners, Tracy and Tony. They are from Colorado Springs and got engaged on the second night of the cruise.
