They have parking onsite at the pier or if you are staying the prior night at a hotel several of them offer "Park and Sail" packages.  We recently stayed at Crowne Plaza under the Park and Sail and it saved us about $20 vs parking at the pier.  Either works fairly simply. Enjoy your cruise!

On Princess Cruises, has anyone found if you wait to purchase the package till you board, is there ever a better price?

I saw a video of Chef Curtis Stone making Chocolate Caramel Kisses.  Yumm!  Does anyone know where you can get those during your cruise? International Cafe? Specialty Restaurant?  Want to be sure to try them.

Does anyone know, on the Premium Beverage Package, if you can order your beer with a "chilled" glass?

Wow!  Thanks everyone!  So helpful, as always!

Can anyone that has stayed in a hotel in San Pedro for a cruise out of Port of Los Angeles/San Pedro tell me the hotel you stayed at and rate your experience.  There is a group of us going and I want to suggest some hotels that would work for us!

We might do the Park and Sail so please include any input you have on that as well.

Thanks so much!

There is a group of us going on the Royal Princess for the first time.  Can you share what you find special about the Royal Princess or something not everyone knows about (Special hidden places, etc)

Thanks!

I wasn't able to find a past thread on this for Princess Cruises.  Can you share your experience when choosing a Guarantee Balcony with Princess Cruises.  I have never done this before but the price is significantly lower.  Would like to know the full spectrum of what we could end up with, i.e., Obstructed, Mini Suite, etc. and how it worked out for you. Good or Bad.

Thanks so much!

Thank You everyone! 

Does anyone know if the Sip and Sale promo is available on 5 day cruises?

Dorothy - Can you tell me what the air temperature at sea was like? During the day and during the evening? We are leaving this Sunday and would like to get an idea of temperature while out at sea. Thank You for the review.

We leave this Sunday (November 13th) for the Mexican Riviera out of San Pedro. Can someone that is either on current trip or one recently, what the air temp was like while at sea during the day and during the evening?

Thanks!

We have been on many NCL cruises but our last one was on Princess Cruises. We found a lounge that would give you a bowl of a variety of olives when you would order drinks. Nice touch! I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there are things you can ask for like this in any of the Bar/Lounges on NCL Jewel that one might not know. Thanks in advance.

I'm taking my 2 young girls on Carnival Inspiration and wondered if anyone knows of secret places on the ship that not everyone knows about that would be fun to find and experience with my girls. Anything fun that we can explore. Really appreciate everyones input. Thanks.

Thanks Everyone! Appreciate the feedback!

I have some LED Candles I want to take on my cruise that look like real candles. Is it better to take them in my carry on rather than pack them in case they xray baggage and think they are real? Don't want to end up in naughty room. Can anyone that has taken LED Candles on a cruise let me know their experience, if any?

You don't say what the island portion of the excursion is? I have been to Ambergris Caye & Caye Caulker on several occasions. Have done Shark Ray Alley many times and LOVE IT! There are Sharks, Manta Ray's and lots of fish. It is an amazing experience! If you have an option of going to Ambergris Caye you will definitely return there one day! ENJOY!

Thanks Everyone! This helps to know what to expect. Sounds like Heaven!

Sorry, forgot to put going to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan & Cabo.

Can someone tell me what the temps are usually like on sea days down to Mexican Riviera in early December from Long Beach? Chilly / Warm / Hot sitting on balcony or deck? Rainy? Greatly appreciated from anyone who has been on a cruise during this time.

Well, it sounds like we might venture out a bit more than normal. Thanks for the input!

My husband and I aren't looking to do much at the ports on our upcoming Mexican Riviera cruise early December. Thought we would look for recommendations to places close to the ports that have Great Guacamole & Chips, Beer & Bloody Marys! Something easily accessible from the ship in both Puerto Vallarta & Mazatlan. Thanks for any recommendations.

:)Thanks everyone for the input. Really appreciate all the explanations and examples. Answered all my questions. Thanks!
