I apologize for not posting more than I did. I had a terrible time connecting to CC, and particularly uploading photos. We had a great cruise, and enjoyed our 2 days post in SF. I will post more photos later. Right now facing a desk covering in paper

Well, I wonder if we are witnessing the last of the Princess Patter. Here is the Patter from yesterday, and the "Event Listings" for today. In other news, I read on Princess Passengers info page that someone on this sailing recieved an email yesterday saying tonight's formal night includes a White and Gold party for our last formal night. I cannot find anything on board that confirms that, and I have not recieved that email. I suspect that Princess may be rolling out this White and Gold party on future sailings, and she got the email in error. Or else I will really stand out in my black and silver top this evening!

I am excited to see Loreto tomorrow. Lyle and I were there in 1996 or so. It was a charming town then, and I do hope it has not changed too much

There are a few issues with A/C .... Something about filters needing changing? And of course the heat and humidity are coming straight up the stairwell from Deck 4 and the open door(s).

That is why I included my email address. Happy to coordinate lstolz@gmail.com

CALL TO THIS CRUISE CRITIC "LIVE FROM" COMMUNITY: Hi all, This is a call to each of you, to suggest that we support each other if anyone has a need that others can fill. Need a bandaid? I have lots. Towards the end of the cruise, if you are short on sunscreen, let me know. Is there something else you wishi you brought with you but didn't and could dearly use right now??? Ask. Perhaps one of our members onboard can help you. We have done this sort of thing before on land based vacations in Mexico and I dont see why it wont work here too. After all, we are "all in the same boat"..... (pun intended) Linda lstolz@gmail.com

The sea is like glass. Sitting waiting to see The Lady Sings Rock with Stephanie Hodgdon. She was awesome earlier in the cruise, I am sure this will be equally great

A few points to share..... I have been having no end of grief trying to post from either my cell phone or tablet. But it looks like my laptop can handle it fine, so I am going to include a bunch of random things in this one post. Yes we have had an itinerary change. Makes complete sense.. why would we head straight into a hurricane rather than hang out in the Sea of Cortez for a bit longer and then head north ahead of the storm? Will be interesting to see what the letter says that is to be distributed this evening. The filming continues, but again, you can opt out of being shown, even if you accidentally walk into the shot. They ask you to sign a waiver if you are potentially on camera. The "stars" of the show are very much over the top characters, in my opinion, but the crew are very pleasant. The ship is less than half full, so it is pretty easy to get a drink, etc. Speaking of drinks, someone asked about Johnny Walker Blue. No, it is not included in the current packages as it is $25 per drink. That being said there is a new package, yet to be announced or rolled out, called "Beyond" that will include that amount. In addition, the crew's side of the Medallion apps will be upgraded tonight. Apparently a lot of changes, according to a few crew members I spoke to. Hopefully for the better, as the current system still has challenges for them. Anyway, I guess that is my quick update for now. The weather is perfect, seas still very calm, and we are all doing fine. Linda and Lyle

I would be wary of that cabin location due to people dragging chairs on the deck above your heads

Smoking now one deck above on 17.
