Fat Tuesday, A Great Bar and Restaurant in Cozumel Mexico

On our cruises we always forgo the meal on the ship and take in a local eatery on port days. 


An open air restaurant and bar on the docks turned out to be a great place to lunch while exploring the shopping area.   We didn't go far this time in Cozumel.  Karan, Patty, Mom and I just enjoyed the atmosphere in the pretty village of shops right at the dock. 

We chose Fat Tuesday for a silly reason...


Swings were available to amuse those waiting to be seated.  Mom always seems to find a swing here
in Cozumel.  On the last trip it was in a private garden.

The wait staff were very helpful and had great suggestions. 

The breezes off the water were wonderful on a hot September day!
Karan and I were glad to sit and enjoy them.

A pink flamingo caught my eye at the bar after getting over the shock of the pink wall!


Our silly reason to choose Fat Tuesday was because of the colorful tables and chairs.
  I mean, who wouldn't want to join the fun? 

The Mexican Flag was a proud part of the decor
And outside the umbrella shades the entire table!  


But it was the freshly cooked and authentically prepared meal that sold us.
Nothing fancy, just really, really good. 


Behind us a view of our Carnival Cruise ship, Paradise!
I told you we didn't go far.  

We all enjoyed the stop and would recommend Fat Tuesday.
It is a dyed in the wool tourist trap which is what Cozumel is all about.  Their prices were great, the food excellent and great service.  You can't ask for more than that. 

For more on this cruise my sis did a very cute, funny blog post!  Karan knows we are good sports!

Glad your cruise turned out well. In my earlier days, my husband and I went on a lot of different cruises. Back then, they were different. Not sure with all the trouble they have, if I want to take another one. Been here and it is nice, but other places I liked better.

How nice to explore new lands unburdened by following the crowd. This looks nice as the locals make a fuss over the visitors. Our son just flew to nearby Cancun this morning - I expect that he will stay local, hope he can visit a non-resort area while he is there...

That does look an interesting restaurant. I know we ate on the dock in Cozumel but I don't remember the name of the restaurant.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside ...
