American Mom in London: Mediterranean Cruise: Port of Palma de Mallorca

We had a much needed relaxing day at sea on Friday spent exploring the areas of the ship we hadn't previously had time for. Of course, the vast majority of the time was spent at the waterpark where Colin must have went on the kiddie waterslides at least 100 times! Saturday, our final port was the Spanish island of Palma de Mallorca.

There wasn't anything that we felt we had to see on the island. The island is known for its resorts and beaches so we decided we would take a taxi to Palma Nova Beach in the morning. The beach was wonderful; another great sandy beach with crystal clear blue water. David and I could have spent all day there, but Colin was still refusing to touch his feet to the sand. David and I took turns swimming in the Mediterranean while Colin lounged on the beach chairs we had rented.

After a few hours at the beach, we decided to head back to the ship for the rest of the day to get our last fix of everything the ship had to offer. Once again, this meant more time on the waterslides for Colin! The next morning, we had to get up and disembark the ship. It was sad to end such an amazing vacation, but we have such great memories. A cruise was a perfect way to see a lot of Europe with a toddler. In fact, we decided to do another one in September to Athens and the Greek Islands out of Venice. We can't wait!
