After we woke up and had breakfast, we still had several hours till the ship docked in Costa Maya. Tina wanted to go down and get pictures taken with the princesses with Lindsay, so Calissa and I decided to go along. It was a long line, but we got to see, get autographs, and take pictures with six princesses and one prince!

About mid-day we docked in Costa Maya and got off the ship to go to our Jungle Beach Break. It was a 45 minute bus ride to the middle of nowhere.
When we got there, there were two options for taking the bus back. One in 1 1/2 hours and one in about 3 hours. The one at the end left at 4:45 and the all-aboard time was 5:30. Since it was a 45 minute bus ride back and then a walk through town and down a really long pier, we decided to take the earlier bus back.
The boys played sand volleyball while the girls (and Christopher) played in the water.
Calissa and I also kayaked toward the end.

Drew, Trav, Parker and Conner
The water wasn't very pretty (as far as tropical beaches go) but we still had a good time.
Tina and the kids made a sand turtle.
Once we went to board the bus, we had to wait about 30 minutes because they couldn't get the door shut once it was open. They finally figured out how to get it closed and said they'd have someone waiting back in town to get it open so we could get off. We also had to have several kids on laps because so many people wanted to head back on that bus. Not our best shore excursion experience, but Disney was really nice and gave us 1/2 off our excursion price after we gave them some feedback.
As we were walking back to the ship, we came across this swimming pool/fountain in the middle of the square. It had a swim up bar (behind the kids) and we're not sure that drinking and swimming should mix (judging the drunk people at the bar)!

Once we got back to the ship, the kids and Travis hit the Aqua Duck before getting showered and changed for dinner. Here is Travis and Calissa.
Here is Conner. I missed taking a picture of Parker because I thought he would be riding with Conner. Oops! We got a picture of him later in the trip.
Smile!
The show this evening was Wishes in the main theater. It was a good show and it was fun to see something new since they last two times we went on the cruise we saw the same show. After that, we went to the Tube to see a comedy cabaret show by Steve Carte. He was funny, but not my favorite of the cruise.
We had dinner again tonight in the Royal Court and the napkins were folded like a shoe!
Towel art!
