Hey, Ey, Ey, Ey!

Part 7 – Ports & Excursions (a.k.a. Choose Your Own Adventure: Cruise Edition)

Narrator Voice:

“Ahh yes… excursions — the noble art of paying extra to briefly touch land before sprinting back to the buffet.”

Hey Blissfits Crew! It’s time to talk shore time.

Here’s the deal: we’ve got three glorious sea days (aka unlimited napping, eating, and pretending to exercise), and three ports of call:

🌴 Cabo San Lucas

🌞 Mazatlán

🍹 Puerto Vallarta

To make this magical and slightly chaotic process run smoothly, each Blissfit needs to pick their #1 choice (if any) for each port. You’ll book and pay for excursions directly in the Norwegian app or website, but let’s coordinate before diving in — otherwise half of us will end up ziplining while the others are tasting tequila and wondering where everyone went.

👉 Deadline: Please respond with your top picks by end of day Tuesday in our group text!

That gives us time to compare, align, and figure out if we’re a “let’s swim with dolphins” crew or a “let’s drink margaritas and nap in a cabana” crew.

You can find the excursions in the app under Explore & Plan. Hit up Rick if you have trouble finding them.

Remember:

• Excursions are 100% optional.
  
• You can absolutely skip them and just wander the port — there’s always shopping, beach bars, and questionable souvenirs.
  
• Or stay on board! Fewer people = quieter hot tubs and no line at the omelet station.

Pro tip for the chill crew: The spa runs discounts on shore days! So if your idea of adventure is being wrapped in seaweed and emerging 90 minutes later as a relaxed burrito of joy, that’s your move.

As for your fearless leaders—Rick & Julie—we’re going with the flow. No set plans. We’ll tag along with whatever adventures the Blissfits brain trust decides, whether that’s ziplining, tequila tasting, or simply discovering which lounge chair has the best shade..

Narrator Voice (closing):

“So gather your courage, your sunscreen, and your sense of adventure. The land awaits… for approximately 6 hours at a time.”
