Sail Away from Costa Maya, Mexico

 Good morning,

These are views from the Bridge of Mariner of the Seas as we were pulling away from Costa Maya, Mexico.

 The weather was, again, just spectacular!

 What a lovely view of the sea as the sun prepares to dip down into the sea for the night.

Flag Day - United States of America

 Good morning,

Today is Flag Day in the USA.  

At home we display Old Glory 24/7/365 in front of our home.  Today's image, though, shows our beautiful flag flying in Florida, just South of St. Petersburg, on I-95.

Need I say, this flag is HUGE!

Beautiful!

Windjammer Desserts

 Good morning,

Ah, yes, I am glad to have this image to keep the memory of Windjammer desserts alive.  

These are only two of the choices in the Windjammer Cafe on board Mariner of the Seas.  '

We certainly didn't go hungry while we were aboard!

Going Ashore in Costa Maya, Mexico

 Good morning,

This is the view of the dockside of Costa Maya, Mexico, from our Deck 9 balcony on board Mariner of the Seas.

We didn't go ashore - we've been here many, many times before, but the view is just gorgeous, isn't it.

We're here to relax and being aboard on a port day is a good way to do it.  The ship is somewhat quiet, if you swim the pools are not at all crowded, and there are still plenty of food and people to watch on the Royal Promenade.

Enjoy!

Artwork Aboard Mariner of the Seas

 Good morning,

As on every Royal Caribbean ship, there is original artwork everywhere.

The eye-catcher above of the man ascending with a bunch of balloons is in the Royal Promenade.  It does catch your eye when you pass!

Enjoy!

Royal Promenade from Deck Nine

 Good morning,

This is another image of the interior of Mariner of the Seas.  

I was standing on a walkway/balcony area on deck nine overlooking the Royal Promenade.

Beautiful!

Liberty of the Seas

 Good morning,

While approaching Costa Maya, Mexico, aboard Mariner of the Seas, we could see a Royal Caribbean sister ship was also there.

As we got closer, we realized it was Liberty of the Seas.  She is the same class ship as Freedom of the Seas where Kjell and I were for the last six years before his retirement. 

In 2018, after retirement from Freedom, we took a cruise aboard Liberty of the Seas with good friends from Texas.  We always feel right at home aboard any Royal Caribbean ship.

I turned around from taking the first pictures of Liberty and took this image of the wing bridge on our ship.

And, another view:  This is looking straight down from our balcony on deck nine to the dock below as the captain was gently bringing our ship into port.

We have been to these ports so many times that we didn't go ashore.  We came to relax, see an old friend, and enjoy the ship.

Ah, yes, the memories!  It's fun to be back on board!

Enjoy!
