Good Morning! 7am is pretty much the latest I can sleep on this ship because that’s when the group of 3 or 4 rooms in my hall start slamming their doors and having loud conversations in the hallway.
I stepped out to the bar to get my screwdriver for breakfast.

Good morning! We are docked next to Celebrity Constellation in Costa Maya. I wanted to do the last set of Mayan Ruins that you can do from this port. But I’ve only seen it offered through The Native Choice and their website is telling me this port stop isn’t…
