The Time We Hung with the Beach Boys, John Stamos, & Mark McGrath – March 3-8, 2023

Hey, Clashy Adventurers! Cameron and I set sail on the ultimate retro getaway—Norwegian Cruise Line’s 5-Night Beach Boys Cruise! This time, we brought along my cousin Angie and her husband Marty to join in on the good vibes, epic sunsets, and ’90s throwbacks. This cruise wasn’t just about the Beach Boys; we also got to rock out with Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray and—wait for it—John Stamos! (Yes, that’s right. Uncle Jesse in the flesh!)

Meeting Legends: The Beach Boys, John Stamos, & Mark McGrath

Meeting the Beach Boys was the ultimate fangirl/fanboy moment. They brought their classics to life, serenading us with those legendary tunes that instantly take you to a beach somewhere. Then, out came Mark McGrath, proving that Sugar Ray is still a full-on vibe in 2023! He lit up the stage with "Every Morning" and "Fly," and we all felt transported straight back to the ‘90s. And, of course, John Stamos joined in, showing us that coolness never ages. Turns out, he’s as down-to-earth as he is iconic (and yes, the hair is still perfect).

Costa Maya: Angie and I, Unleashed

While the guys had their own agenda, Angie and I were left unsupervised in Costa Maya, and you can imagine how that went! We found ourselves exploring colorful local markets, sipping tropical cocktails, and making fast friends with the locals. A market here, a margarita there... Let’s just say getting back to the ship was probably a good laugh for some people watchers.

Back on the Ship: Sunsets, Dance Parties, and Endless Laughter

The evenings were pure magic. Picture this: a sky lit with fiery sunsets, live music echoing across the deck, and dance parties that could rival any club. Between living it up with Angie and Marty, jamming out to Beach Boys and Sugar Ray, and just letting loose, this was a trip filled with laughter, music, and memories to last a lifetime.

Lessons Learned:

1. Never Leave Us Unsupervised – Cameron and Marty learned this one the hard way.
2. Stay Hydrated… With Margaritas? – When in Costa Maya…
3. Always Answer the Call to Adventure – Especially when John Stamos and Mark McGrath are involved.

Until next time, keep those good vibrations going, and stay tuned for our next adventure!
