It was a fun ship.[/caption] Our very first cruise was in 2011, it was a Mexican Riviera cruise on the Holland America Oosterdam.  Then, we took advantage of living 45 minutes away from Port Canaveral and did the Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas a few times, followed by the Liberty of the Seas. We sort of liked cruising. There were some things we weren't so thrilled about, so we didn't cruise as much as we do now. A few things we disliked about cruising in general:

Disney Cruise Line has released it's first rendering of their next line of ships. These gorgeous new ships will set sail in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

"We decided two ships wouldn't be enough to hold all of the exciting new experiences we have been dreaming up to take family cruise vacations to a whole new level with immersive Disney storytelling, world-class family entertainment, and imaginative innovations that are fantastically fun and uniquely Disney," - Bob Chapek, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts

There are times where you have to make a decision for yourself and not wait for a cruise line to do it for you. I'm not saying anything negative against the lines, I'm saying sometimes a little common sense goes a long way. What am I getting at? Cozumel is out, at least for now. Stef and I won't even get off the boat. We get it, we know the explosion was on a ferry going to and from Cozumel. It's what the explosion represents that keeps us on board. We're hoping that the cruise lines will suspend service to Cozumel sending a financial and political message for Mexico to get it's stuff straight. I'm sure some will argue and say that's an overreaction but we're referencing a boat exploding around dozens of people and I'm not talking about a Michael Bay film. That plus the State Department has issued several warnings. They have more data than we do.
