Cruise Day 6 - Costa Maya

We pulled into Costa Maya in the morning and hit the pier after 9am.

 No excursions booked so we just wandered around the port area.

The port area is rather lively.

There's flamingos:

 

There's Mayans hanging from ropes on high doing a traditional acrobatic act:

 

Neat to see.

So we wandered around the numerous stores in the port, lots of touristy stuff, sat down at the bar and have some ice cold beverages, and then went back to the ship.

Back at the ship we had lunch at the diner above the pool with some excellent burgers and fries. 

After that we sat in at an art auction.

 Lots of art for any budget from mas low as $300 up to and including an original Romero Britto for $20k. There were quite a few works by Thomas Kincaid, Peter Max, and others.  Fun to watch and learn a bit about art as the auctioneer gave plenty of info about the artists and the works.  

Then it was time to chill at the Skyy Vodka Ice Bar.

 

As the name goes, it's a bar, made out of ice. 

The Skyy Bar is an extra and requires a reservation. The reservation includes 2 drinks. You check in and get a smock and hood to wear to keep warm whie you're in the ice bar.

 

 The bar had a neat seating area:

The ice bar was a fun and cool experience.
