We port right next to another, almost identical ship from the same cruise line in Cozumel, sharing the same pier. Lately, there seems to be an escalating competition between ships to see who can have a more festive Welcome-Back-Aboard greeting line. There used to be just music blaring, but now, week by week, there’s more crew waiting to celebrate your return. Like an arms race. The other ship adds chanting. Our ship adds higher ranking ship officials in uniform. The other ship adds musical instruments. Our ship adds whatever costumes they can scrounge up: a clown, Spiderman, someone dressed as a BINGO card.
Mitchell: [looking at this picture] Who is that?
Sarah: Spiderman?
Me: I don’t know who it is under there. Maybe it’s a vigilante hot towel dispenser.
