Our arrival time has not yet been assigned. We still Match 25th.

I know this is an old thread, but I really appreciate the information. We've cruised out of FLL, MIA and NYC and NYC is always chaos! This is our first cruse leaving from SD. We have reservations to stay across the road at Springhill Suites, I had thought about changing them to the Gaslight district, but after reading this I think I'll stick with what we've got. It looks like there are 2 ships in port on our embarkation day. Will that effect people flow? We will be on the Zaandam, what time will the mdr be open until for lunch? I'm eager to get on board, but not eager to wait in chaos.

We have not been on an west coast cruise and I am looking for some recommendations for things to do at the different ports. We love history and some of our favorite port days have been spent just wandering ports by foot and going to different historical places. Which one of the ports would be best suited to wandering on foot? Which should we pick excursions? Any must do things? I'd love to see whales, but we are going at the end of March, so I understand that season would be coming to a close. Our ports are Cabo, Loreto, Pichilingue, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta. Thanks!

I agree with the Seattle traffic, but also at that time of day getting in to the airport can be awful.

Yes, we were told that it cannot be applied to casino or other such discounted offers.

Looking for recommendations on climbing excursions or tour operators. We've got both experienced and novice climbers.
