Some of us opted to not take advantage of the Shore Excursions offered by the ship. Instead we ventured into Cozumel from our docking place at the City Pier and wandered around town. The agreement was to meet for lunch at Carlos and Charlie’s. The uninitiated found out how very exciting it can be to hang out at this Cozumel landmark. One of our friends learned the hard way that two yard long Margarita’s and eight Conga line shots of tequila in less than two hours might be a little too much!
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.

With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do.
