One thing we learned about cruises: book them early. We couldn't do certain port excursions because they were already booked. (Some also have age requirements, so it also seems easier to take a cruise when your kids are at least 3 years and older.) That said, we still have a good experience. First, we had to tender off the ship, since it couldn't pull up to port here.
We took a scenic tour of El Arco, which is The Arch in Spanish. It was a hot day, and we were dripping sweat before getting on the scenic tour ship. But it was 3 levels high, we didn't get sea sick, and they were good at passing out drinks right away.
After the cruise, we were waiting in line to board a tour bus, when someone approached the kids and put a lizard on their heads. He was trying to make some money off the tourists :-)
We went to a glass blowing factory. It was really impressive. It takes years to become a master. This time, the man made a sea turtle.
Luckily, no one broke anything in the shop. Ty bought a glass dolphin. Brit bought a heart ornament.
Then, the bus took us to a hotel with a great view for drinks. That picture is on Landon's camera.
That night, we ate at Tritons. It was pirate themed. Before dinner, Landon had taken the kids up on deck 9 for a pirate party/ trick or treating.
wow! Such fun!
