Allure of the Seas Part 6 - Cozumel
Munchkin is left behind this time - it's adults only and we upgraded to a SUITE to sail Star Class with Royal Caribbean! Join Me, my brother Greg, my brother Gary and his wife, Jana, my nephew Jeremy & my nephew Kyler and his wife Hannah... on a 7-night western caribbean cruise!
Part 6 brings us to Cozumel! Our excursion was canceled for high winds, but it was still a better day than being at work!
