Celebrity Infinity 2022: Mexico

The next port was Cozumel, a Mexican island just off the mainland. Here I paid $25 to rent a bike for the day. Here she is at a little stop I found off the main road. I sat here for a while and two people stopped me: One was Spanish and barely spoke English and she was asking me can she swim here... I said I don't know?! Then an American man called out to me "Hey, are you going to jump in a snorkel there?" and I said no, just enjoying the view :)

 

I ate this snack there which I found in a newsagent across the road.

Then I took a cycle through the jungle to a beach club called "Monkey Bar".

Monkey Bar doesn't have a beach but there are steps into the water and the snorkeling is pretty good. You can stay for as long as you like as long as you order some food or a drink or two at the restaurant.

I ordered coconut shrimp and loved them!!

It was a bit of a stormy day though and the weather kept turning. It rained pretty hard and I had to move inside.

Later I cycled back to port and met Brewer where we went for a drink and some snacks in Hooters. I'd never been to Hooters so was excited but it was a bit of a disappointment. No atmosphere and the wings weren't great. 

Our ship was docked next to MSC Seaside. MSC is known for having monster-sized ships but this isn't even one of their biggest!

When getting back on the Celebrity Infinity it's always a very calm affair. This time we had to walk through the MSC walkway also, it was a bit crazy there!

I love when doors on the ship are left open and I catch a glimpse at Crew areas...

For dinner we went to a specialty restaurant "Tuscan Grille" as Brewer was celebrating a big life event.

My view from our table was right into the pasta kitchen.

After bringing bread to the table the waiter asked if we wanted oil and fresh basil to dip. We definitely did... And he wasn't lying when he said the basil was fresh!

You can order as much as you want from the menu and after ordering the waiter said "Do you want antipasti also?" so I said "Sure"!

Antipasti Board:

Antipasti and Bread:

My starter was pork belly:

I continued my venture into eating seafood by trying lobster pasta (Lobster Rigatoni Alfredo):

All of our food: Antipasti, bread, pastas, steaks and sides! We ordered a lovely bottle of wine also but I can't remember the name.

After eating the meal I was too full for dessert... But the waiter said he'd arrange for it to be delivered to my room! So I ordered pistachio creme brulee.

After dinner we had a cocktail in the "Martini Bar". It's not really a martini bar: It just serves cocktails in a martini glass! They have lots of different types, I always order a blue drink on every vacation. I joke that it's "Blue Milk" from Star Wars. Nerd. This cocktail was tasty.

When I arrived to my room later that night my pistachio creme brulee was waiting for me so I ate it in bed to finish another amazing day.
