Beach Party in Cozumel

While I realize they announced this beach party a while ago, here is the email that we received from Rose Tours and my thoughts on the matter:

Playa Mia

I know there was a lot of controversy over this activity. There seems to be a pretty even split on those that think we shouldn’t be charged for this, and those who don’t mind shelling out the extra money. I fall into the latter category. While I fully understand why people would be upset over this, I see it as an excursion that just so happens to be with the Backstreet Boys. All excursions on a cruise cost extra and I don’t see why this should be any different. I booked this in about the first 20 seconds after receiving the email and don’t have any second thoughts.

My only slight concern is over the phrasing “appearance of the Backstreet Boys”. I’ve attended events in the past that promised this ‘appearance of the Backstreet Boys’ and unfortunately I left quite disappointed. I think 15 minutes of time from AJ and Howie just about barely qualifies as an appearance by the Backstreet Boys. So while I’m hopeful that this will not be the case for the beach party, I’m trying to go in with realistic expectations. I anticipate having a great time with my friends on the beach with the idea that I will hopefully at least see the guys. I don’t, however, expect that Nick will be rubbing suntan lotion on my back while Brian serves me a pina colada. Though that certainly is a nice thought
