My brother [Frank] and his friend [Jonathon] boisterously charged into our room numerous times throughout the night (with Maria and Sara to add to the humiliation), and yet still had the energy to wake up before 9am to go eat breakfast. I went to breakfast by about 9:30a (my first meal to stay down since the alcohol). The omelet wasn't half bad, and the dining facility was even better than the officers mess onboard my old ship (USS JFK / CV-67).
By 11:10a we headed to the Shore Excursion briefing [with Maria and Sara]. I chose Chichen Itza for Playa Del Carmen, and Snuba for Cozumel, and picked up the tickets shortly thereafter.
By lunch my appetite was coming back - so I had a dragon roll (stale sushi - probably using short grain rice) and a steak salad. Then it was off to the Internet Cafe to figure out how I was going to get access. After it was all said and done, I paid $55 for 100 minutes of dial-up access [I used 20 min total - too busy partying I guess]. Numerous problems conspired to reduce its effectiveness however, as the satellite went down once... and I kept getting timed out. 15 minutes of access time later, here I sit typing out my experience. Looking across the azure blue sea, I remember the call... and there are plenty of sirens on this boat.
I had wanted to hit the spa and get a message, but it turns out that they are booked solid today [and as it turned out, every day we were at sea]. So, I rounded up the guys and took them to the Sauna. We ran into the girls [Maria and Sara] on the way (~3:30p) and they were already started on some coconut drinks.
When I got back from the sauna, I sent my brother off to iron my shirt for tonight (thanks Frank). I need the shirt ironed because tonight is the formal dinner. I'll be wearing black pants, a yellow shirt and a red tie. My jacket is a black herringbone sport coat. Let's see if the girls like it.
I never found Maria and Sara... but I did me some hot chicks [all hairstylists, and you can tell from the sweet hair on all three] while in line for the formal dinner. Angela had NINE tattoos, piercings, pink hair and was wearing a really hot black dress - she was definitely my favorite by a long shot. Barbara was just a little thicker [not fatter, beefier - she looked like a tough woman] than Angela, didn't have the pink hilites - but could have easily been Angela's sister; and Kelsey was a thick blond (who apparently wasn't wearing panties the whole night - nasty girl ;). Dinner was great with them, and afterwards I ran into the them again at the Karaoke party while Frank and Jonathon were playing Blackjack.
I almost ended up doing Addicted to Love with the three of them as my backup singers, but we had to rush on over to the "Show" @ 10:30. I tried finding Frank and Jonathon, but didn't see them. I ended up at the show with all three women to myself. That's when Maria and Sara showed up, and it was at this point that I was sitting with FIVE woman - NOW THIS IS A CRUISE BABY! Naturally that's not enough... so Angela (the hot chick with the tattoos, piercings and pink hilites) corrupts me by giving me a Tequila shot, followed by a Yeager shot in her room [man, why didn't I see that she was in to me?].
Soon after I found myself at the Reflections dance club dancing with the three hairstylists (Maria and Sara who had disappeared right after the show). I *tore* up the floor and had all three women grinding with me. Damn, I felt *GOOD*. I tried dancing with Angela as much as I could, got at least one picture with her (and parked it like it was hot - which it was). At one point I just couldn't dance with her anymore... without being, ahhh... embarrassed :(. This went on till around 4am... and at one point moved to the sun decks. [At which point my aloof behavior made me miss out on getting to know Angela better. I now believe she was trying to get my attention - I was too stupid to catch it.]
