1990's Spring Break Vibes
Day #6- Cozumel, Mexico
April 9, 2026
Cruise #29 means Cozumel visit #24!
It truly is our "Caribbean home away from home"
Morning
We woke up a little bit later than usual since we stayed out until the early morning hours the night before. However, this allowed for a less crowded breakfast since most people had already gotten off the ship in Cozumel. We decided to have Butcher's Cut again for breakfast since it was FREE. The service was just average for this meal and I am not sure if that is due to the later arrival (9:45AM instead of opening time) or another reason. The food was good but not "blow you away" type of meal. Both Chris and I opted to try the Steak and Eggs and the steak was paper thin and incredibly chewy. The Biscuits and gravy were flavorful but the biscuits were hard; in fact, I wonder if they were stale. It was a mediocre meal (at best) but was about par for our cruise, to be honest!
Greetings from our Home Away from Home!
I loved the crafted Ice Latte's in literally EVERY bar.
The omelet Chris and I shared was nothing impressive!
Kellie- 2.5 & Chris- 1.5
We finished breakfast and got off the ship around 10:30AM. The MSC Seascape was docked at the Punta Langosta- the Downtown Pier. Carnival and Royal Caribbean both use the southern piers so it had been many years since we had ported at this pier. The island has really built up this pier and I was impressed with the overall design and structure. TIP- However, the construction is not yet complete so you will have a bit of an issue getting back across the street getting back to the ship. While I enjoyed the upgrade terminal, I still prefer the International Pier (Royal Caribbean) the best of the three Cozumel piers.
We made our way through the terminal and I was able to find a "Fish Spa". I have always seen these and wanted to try it out and this allowed such an opportunity. It was a 20 minute "fish eating" session for $35 total. The 100+ fish started eating at my dead skin immediately- it was really weird. With the tip, this cost $43 total and I am not sure I would do this again, despite it's uniqueness!
I have always wanted to try these and today was the DAY!
My feet were left very soft but overall, it was a memory made for sure!
My Fish Spa experience... YOLO!
We then ventured into Senor Frogs and immediately the MTV Spring Break vibes started flowing. Chris and I got a drink and really enjoyed the dance videos and theatricals from the workers. I had not been to Senor Frogs since my HS Senior Trip to Cancun in 2001 but this really hit the spot! Oddly enough, the restaurant was full of Generation X 1980s babies just singing along to Alanis Morsette! Next time we will get food!
We opted for the 20oz instead of the YARD and it was perfect!
$18.99/ each and the Yard was $27.99!
Afternoon
We got back on the ship and went to the buffet for lunch and it was still just not for us. The food offerings were substantial and offered something for just about anyone but overall the food was just Food Court standard in our opinion.
Chris's neuropathy was giving him fits so we opted to get a bicycle shuttle back to the ship!
The best $15 tip EVER!
MSC desserts were "low key" delicious!
(Sorry... I am trying to be a cool blogger)
We got changed into our swimsuits and then went to the Infinity Pool once again for a beautiful afternoon. It was very windy and since the infinity pool is not very deep, we were not in here for very long as we just got too cold! We showered and got dressed for the evening and then made our way to the Loft Cafe for mid-afternoon snacks and drinks. This was a moment we were both enjoying the Wi-Fi that came with our Premium Package. It felt a little weird to be playing games and scrolling social media on a cruise but we enjoyed the communication availability!
The Infinity Pool around 2PM- It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon!
MSC version of the "Ranger Cookie" from Royal Caribbean... Not near as good!
We spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening in the Sports Bar for the 2nd Round of The Masters. As I mentioned in a previous post, I LOVE The Masters and being able to watch it for hours in this expansive Sports Bar was literally priceless. I am already thinking about how to take off work next year and watch it from a cruise ship sports bar! We were also able to see the MSC Seascape push off from Cozumel and begin making our way home from Deck 8 just outside the Sports Bar!
I am ready for CARIBBEAN Attire night!
Gotta Love Shein... Only $11!
This is where we spent the majority of our afternoon!
This Sports Bar is LEGIT!
Goodbye Norwegian Prima... We will see you in Galveston in 2 days!
The Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas and the Carnival Dream also docked in Cozumel!
Adios Cozumel... See you in TWO MONTHS!
Evening
We went to our favorite bar, The Cocktail Bar, as it opened at 6PM and had another wonderful conversation with Ashish Rao, the bartender. We were also able to talk with a fellow quest who was an elementary principal about the "joys of education". This was a very enlightening, albeit curse-filled, conversation. We also strolled through the Captain's Court Specialty Restaurant Lounge.
Check out these AWESOME areas around the ship:
Liberty Plaza and Duty Free Shopping (Deck 8 Midship)
Captain's Court- Specialty Restaurant Lounge
Deck 8 Midship (going towards Aft)
Uptown Lounge (Deck 8 Aft)
We made our way to Deck 8 for a gorgeous sunset and then dinner in the MDR. The Mexican Themed menu was not terrible and on the same level as the Carnival and Royal Caribbean Mexican menus.
THIS is why I cruise... These sunsets are GORGEOUS!
I still cannot believe we got THIS view from our MDR table!
Hello Table #430.. You are FOREVER my favorite!
French Onion Soup
Kellie-1.5
There is a reason Royal Caribbean is FAMOUS... This was a pass!
Quesadilla
Chris- 3.0 & Kellie-2.5
This had a LOT going on but was flavorful!
Brisket
Chris- 2.0 & Kellie-1.0
WHOA... This was so NOT GOOD!
Sorbet
Kellie 1.5
I always have to have an "Ice Cream" night and this was it!
After dinner we went back to the Cocktail Bar before they closed at 9PM and then to the Casino to try our luck but we were not successful so we made our way to the Casino Bar to talk "Beagles" with one of our favorite bartenders. It started to get busy around 10:30PM so we went back to the Sports Bar for more live music with Christo De Rey, the Classic Rock guitar performer!
Our beagle, Rockefeller, for reference!
2.5 years and he thinks he RULES THE WORLD! He is a MESS!
Let's Talk Ship- Day #6
It's ALWAYS a good day on a cruise!
We called it a night right before midnight after a great day spent in Cozumel and onboard this gorgeous ship!
UP NEXT... Our last day spent onboard the
MSC Seascape!
God is Good... ALL THE TIME!
