I only have old patters from years ago.. Are you new to cruising? I promise you will not be bored. I never find enough time to fit in all that i want to do.. Have fun

That's exciting. Does anyone know if the interior rooms on plaza have the new tv and on demand? I hope so. I stay up late when my husband is sleeping 

I'm heading out on the Ruby Saturday. I try not to look at the negatives. I've personally never had a bad experience on Princess... 3 more days!!!!

Has anyone done this tour? I'm curious as to what resort they take us to. I would like to know if the pool water temperature is normal temps. I'm hoping it's not too cold. 

Any help would be great, I leave the Sat after thanksgiving. 

I know its not Las Caletas ...and this resort you get to by bus not boat. Thanks

Did you ever figure out the resort they go to? I would also like to know..I am curious about their pool's water temps. I want to book this excursion but not if the pool water is so freezing it's hard to get in..lol Please let me know if you have any info. Thank you!

For sleeping pills like AMBIEN, OR Sublinox,

 

Go to WALMART and get them, you have a much better chance of them being real.

Chances are once they realize that cruise ship customers are wise to their fakes, they will change the label, but this is what it is in 2018.

Can you get Ambien without a script at the Walmart? Seems like it would be harder to get there. I need ambiem, flexeril, inhalers, and xanax/ativan... I was in PV & Cabo last Feb and I didn't have a problem getting anything including Norco. Nothing was fake but I certainly didn't like taking the chance and prefer not to do that again. 

Can you get xanax at the Walmart? It's for my father who has a lot of anxiety in his old age who won't be with me but I wouldn't mind seeing a Dr.  and saying I need it IF I had to. PLease let me know about getting xanax and ambien at Walmart. Thank  you

awesome..looks like i'll be keeping my eye out around Thanksgiving (I'm sailing out the Saturday after so hopefully it's sooner than that haha) and Vday! Thanks

yeah, I just asked this question early this evening. I love this same but I swear if you blink you miss it.

I usually see it advertised on Facebook around closing time causing me to scramble...It was about 6 months ago I think..I booked my upcoming cruise in Nov during dollar down days.. Since I feel like they do it twice a year it should be coming up soon but I have no idea when and I'll be bummed if we miss it. They just rolled out the 3 for free so maybe when this promotion ends?

I was hoping someone had a general idea of when to look out for it

I know this sale is typically twice a year, correct?

Does anyone know when they typically do these sales? Does is vary or is it usually during a certain time of year? Any help would be great! Thanks

Cabo for sure. We did the Zodiac whale watching tour in Cabo last Febuary and it was awesome!

We saw so many whales and they were so close I swear we could reach out and touch them. After we were done watching whales our zodiac cruised home along the shoreline and it was beautiful.. loved it.

If that sounds interesting book it right away because it filled up fast and I had to bug the desk multiple times a day for cancellations so I could get in. Have fun!

Anyone?

I totally agree with the recommendations to whale watch in February; you'll be right in the midst of the whale migration/calving season. We were in Cabo last February, and had a fantastic morning with Whale Watch Cabo. They are very well run, their panga boats are small and maneuverable, and have a cover, which was welcome in the sun. I just checked their web site, and it says kids under six are free.

We lucked out and got to follow a mama humpback running with her three-week old calf. Mama was teaching baby how to breach. It was amazing to watch this. Baby was able to muster a small flip, then Mama showed the little whale how it's done.

 

Did you go by Zodiac? Did you actually use a zoom lens or were you that close? Beautiful photos and I would LOVE to get that close. Some of the zodiac photos ive seen online show the boats practically right next to them. Thank you!

I wanted to go on the Zodiac Whale watching excursion in Cabo San Lucas but it's sold out... Carnival however offers a different type of whale watching that sounds very similar and I'm wondering if anyone has been on it as there are zero reviews.

It's called the Whale Photo Safari and Here is the description :

I know it sucks because I'm sure we all would love to cuddle these animals (or at least get a picture with them lol) but any self respecting sanctuary or zoo etc wouldn't allow the types of contact you can get from people who subdue animals for money... If I knew the animals were well treated then I would pay to visit with them but unfortunately that's hardly the case in Mexico and there's a reason the US makes owning these animals illegal :'):'):')

The company that turtle mentioned also has a zodiac option. I didnt see anything about the panga boat on their website. I need to contact them on monday :) thanks for suggestion

Yeah I wouldn't support that at all. By giving them momey for photos you're telling them their behaior is okay. Animals like that dont belong in captivity and Sadie is right, they drug the poor animals to keep them docile.

On a side note: Is this your first cruise? Im a night owl too (right now it's 4 am) but when I cruise i seem to get pretty tired by at least midnight... I swear it's from the rocking of the boat.... and maybe all the carbs lol ... BUT the rocking definitely helps lull me to sleep...

I typically see the latest show, take a walk around, hit up the casino and then head back to my room where I read or watch tv and plan my next day.

I also download netflix movies to my ipad incase there is nothing on tv or i dont want to disturb my husband. :)

Hopefully the boat will rock you to sleep as well :) have fun,

The Splendor just transitioned from East Coast to West Coast. She just completed her first Mexican Riviera cruise, so there are not any reviews yet for this ship and itinerary. 😊

 

I am also looking forward to hearing more! 20 days!

Oh okay gotcha! Im going on the Splendor on the 17th, i thought maybe it went in for dry dock and i was excited thinking maybe it had iguana joes or Guys burgers now.

When did this happen? That's awful.

Hardly ever mentioned but I LOVE the lasagna they serve!

That looks delicious..im getting that!

These are all awesome and exactly what i was looking for, thank you! I cruised once before on carnival in 2008 and it was my first cruise ever...I didnt know then that id need to know about tips and tricks until i started cruising more.

I remember their chocolate molten cake being delicious. We enjoy princess but im not a fan of their desserts. Im really looking forward to dessert onboard hahahah

Thanks again and keep them coming! :)

Im confused. Cant you read older reviews? What are you waiting to hear about? Thanks!

I feel like I know most of these things for Princess but now I'm going on the Carnival Splendor so I don't want to miss anything! Please share with me all your tips, tricks and you guessed it, SECRETS :D Thank you!

I’ve been wondering about this myself. The last few months I’ve been getting a migraine during my time of month and have had to go to er twice because my meds weren’t working. My time of month (sorry guys, tmi I know) falls on my cruise week this month ughhhh and I’m scared that I might need to use the medical facilities. Has anyone had to use it for migraine? I hope they are well stocked with pain medication LOL!

I want to do the tour, sounds interesting!

I’m trying to decide between two Princess excursions:

BRIMSTONE HILL, ROMNEY MANOR & CARIBELLE BATIK

Or

CLAY VILLA PLANTATION HOUSE & BEACH (Cockleshell beach)

Please give your suggestions/opinions. Thank you!!
