We had time between the hotel checkout time until the ship left the port, being we checked in early with the cruise line. We managed to get our luggage, and everything taken care of, so we stopped at a French Market place and ate beignets with café au lait. Yara enjoyed the meal, and we people-watched until it was time to go aboard our ship.
We booked a five-day, western Caribbean cruise that went to Cozumel and Costa Maya areas. Since this was Yara’s first cruise, I figured we’d do a short trip in case she got sick or wouldn’t enjoy it. We had a balcony room, which was cool. The view is worth the extra money.
We packed a variety of clothing, from swimming to near formal. Formal in my case is a sports jacket and a tie. I didn’t see what Yara packed, but later, she surprised me and I’m sure many of the others on board.
We boarded the ship and found our way to our cabin. We were greeted by our attending steward, a medium-toned young man, with a bright smile and an accent. We found out later he was from Aruba.
Our luggage was in our cabin and Yara was amazed by the balcony view. Our view faced the west side of the Mississippi River, so when it was about time for our ship to set sail, we had to go out to the deck and wave off the bystanders, what’s referred to as the Sail-away.
Once we got underway and some of the usual mandatory items were completed, we set about checking out the ship and its amenities. I noted when we planned this trip, some of the recommended restaurants suggested reservations. During our walk, I took note of these restaurants’ locations. Also, there were a couple of casinos and nightclubs, which I suggested to Yara. She seemed to like the idea and was enjoying herself.
When Yara saw there was a spa, she mentioned a massage would be nice. So, I stepped inside and made her an hour-long appointment.
That evening, we dressed and went to the first restaurant I made reservations with. Yara wore a light blue blouse and white slacks. Her figure wasn’t well hidden and ample cleavage showed as did her well-rounded ass.
Yes, I made a few ass pinches, as it’s the natural thing to do.
We were joined at our table by a couple from Michigan. They were nice, and I noticed they were intrigued with Yara, especially her breasts. I admit, I am, too. But I digress.
We enjoyed a nice steak dinner and the conversation with the couple was OK. They were around ten years older than us, and the woman was a bit rude.
After dinner, Yara and I walked around the ship and observed the Mississippi River Delta region, which reminded Yara of the Nile River.
We went to the casino, where I bought our drinks and found a poker machine. I explained to Yara how the game was played, and I immediately lost twenty dollars. Yara decided she could do better. When we finished playing, she was up two hundred or so.
So much for my advice.
After a few drinks and Yara showing me how to play poker, we called it a night.
Our steward greeted us by asking how our evening was.
Yara smiled, as I replied, “It’s been fun.”
The steward, named Tony, flashed his smile and wished us good night.
As we entered our cabin, I caught Tony checking out Yara. He saw that I noticed and nodded an approval. I smiled and entered the cabin. Yara has that effect on people.
We hung around the swimming pool the next day, after breakfast. Yara wore a white, one-piece swimsuit and a white and blue cover. She brought a book, and we relaxed in the warm weather.
After a couple of hours beside the pool, Yara’s massage was coming due, so I walked her to the spa, where a younger, pretty Filipina woman, named Tala greeted us.
Tala asked if I had an appointment also, and I said Yara was the only one. Tala took Yara into another area, and I decided to go back to our cabin, rather than sit around and wait.
After about forty-five minutes passed, I returned to the spa and arrived a few minutes before Yara was finished. A few other women were waiting for their appointments and gave me an odd look. Soon Yara came out, looking totally relaxed and a big smile greeted me, as Tala told us goodbye.
The women who were waiting eyed Yara as she walked past them. I’m sure some were envious or maybe interested. I don’t know…
Yara talked about Tala’s massage and how much she enjoyed the session. I asked if Tala got her aroused, and Yara blushed. “It’s only normal”, I teased Yara. “Did you and her do it?” I asked. “NO!” Yara smiled.
That evening, we had dinner in a different restaurant than the night before. We each had seafood, which was as good as I’ve had. Yara wore a white cotton dress, which was almost see-through. She wore a sheer, nude-colored bra and thong panties, so that it appeared she was nude underneath her dress.
A different couple joined us, and during our introductions, they explained they were from Chicago. They said they were originally from Atlanta and had never taken a cruise.
I asked how a couple from the south managed in a cold Chicago. They laughed and said it wasn’t easy.
The couple was younger than us and didn’t have children. They were celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary by taking this cruise.
The women had shoulder-length, light brown hair, and wore a short, sheer, black dress and a small black bra. She showed as much cleavage as Yara, I noted. And while I was making that observation, the woman caught me and smiled.
Her husband didn’t see the exchange.
But Yara did.
While we ate, and had a few drinks, Yara and the woman, named Mandi, chatted and were enjoying themselves.
After dinner, Mandi invited us to join them in one of the bars. Yara didn’t hesitate to agree.
Mandi’s husband, a regular-looking guy named Jack, acted like he was along for the evening but not much interested in Yara and Mandi’s talk. I thought perhaps he wasn’t feeling well or seasick.
The bar had loud music and people were dancing on the dance floor. We found a table and ordered a round of drinks when the waitress appeared.
A bit into the evening in the bar, Jack confided to me that Mandi talked too much. I laughed and ordered another round of drinks.
It was evident Jack didn’t drink much and after the second round, he told Mandi he was tired. Mandi looked at Yara, then asked Jack if he didn’t mind if she stayed with us for a while longer.
Jack nodded an approval, wished us a good night, and left.
After Jack left, Mandi invited Yara to the lady’s room, leaving me to check out Mandi without her catching my eye this time. Mandi was a bit slim but had a body that most women and men would enjoy looking at, or more.
She had somewhere around thirty-four C cup breasts, a twenty-four waist, and her ass was close to Yara’s size. She had bright blue eyes, that are usually associated with blonde hair.
