Mazatlan

After a brilliant time in Cabo San Lucas we sailed off into the evening on the Norwegian Star. The nice part about of being on a cruise ship is that you unpack once and your cabin moves from town to town. You are fed and entertained almost every minute of the day.
During past cruises to Mazatlan we have taken tours, attended a shrimp fest and checked out the Centro Mercado. On this cruise we did it a little differently, we hung out on the ship.It really is a brilliant good time to be on board. Most everyone leaves the ship and that means you have all the ships amenities to yourself! We started with eggs Benedict in the Versailles Dining Room.

We wandered the ship and hung out at the pool and sunned ourselves. It was quiet and restful.

From the deck we could see the Pacifico Brewery.I have heard it is great place to tour but I am not much of beer drinker.

The port in Mazatlan is an industrial area so you are required to take a shuttle to the entrance.  Inside, there is a market place with shops and a little restaurant. We decided it was margarita time so we shuttled over and had drinks, salsa and chips for under ten dollars.Back to the ship to get ready for dinner of prime rib! Tomorrow we arrive in Puerto Vallarta.
