Mayan Mystique Cruise - Late Feb. 2012

We took the "Mayan Mystique" cruise on Oceania Feb. 26 - March 7, visiting 4 Caribbean countries plus Key West in 10 days. Each country and port was different and enjoyable. Howard concentrated on ship/port activities & camaraderie while I concentrated on seeing as much of each destination as my feet and wallet could stand. We got together to enjoy food, relaxation, and the chance to leave cooking, cleaning, dog care, and worrying behind.

Boarded the Marina. With 1250 vs Oceania's usual 680 pax, I wasn't sure I'd like her. I DID - but who needs a bathtub?

Quirky Key West: rooster-decorated utility box. There's plenty to do in KW, but it's not cheap. I found freebies instead.
