woah ok first of all I can't believe I signed up for CC that long ago!! But also Feb 20 was my Dads birthday...His name was Karl ..thats who I named my son after

Coming out of lurkdom to say Sakari and Karl are such an adorable couple . Also I have a real life son named Karl. I mean of course he is real, but also we named him Karl from birth.

Even less expensive is to go on your own, 3 dollar water taxi over and the restaurants are pretty reasonable. Like you the one thing I like about Stone island, it seems to be a destination for locals and maybe Mexicans on vacation. More so than Cabo for instance

Your story sounds similar to ours..39 year old son started having complex partial seizures when he was 11. Numerous combos of meds and also a VNS implant. He is married and living life ( with some limitations..cant drive etc) @TigerWoodsLibido Thanks for brining awareness! And have a great cruise!

You made the right choice, Ensenada not the most exciting port and Cabo is just ok...we really like Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta

We didn’t get a mirror note, letter and for sure not any leather trinkets! We did however get the one time special white sail and sign card

The prices in Cabo on the beach are pretty similar to the US. Most other places in Mexico you will find it less expensive

It will be hot and humid ...but ya sea days wont be as hot, sometimes even chilly. For me it's the humidity that gets to me..but I'm a Northen Ca girl. I feel like kids adjust more easily than adults so yours will prob be fine. There are the pools and waterworks area on the ship and AC if it gets too hot. The good thing about Stone Island is the water doesn't get deep until you walk out pretty far. I felt like Cabo it gets deep quick.

Try Stone Island in Mazatlan, easy to get to, long stretch of beach with lots of beach restaurants where you can get loungers and umbrellas. The water is pretty swimmable . In Mexico, its hard to avoid vendors on a beach unless you pay to go to a private resort, but to us its no biggie.

I second Stone Island in Mazatlan. Cabo is so touristy plus the water gets deep quick! Stone Island it’s much more gradual . Lots of good beach restaurants where you can get a lounge chair and umbrella.

Well I’d rather get your offers than the OBC!

just got it accepted for a casino (not free but discounted) offer

We also just did our 25th. We were told that we could use it on that cruise or any after that. We opted for our next cruise since it was more expensive . We did get the one time special white sail and sign cards though!

What is it about Stone Island that you dont like the looks of? Just curious

My husband body surfs there and usually can find good enough waves for that. I have never seen actual surfers...

True! The bus was an adventure it itself ...but nothing compared to crossing the street afterwards!

I'm pretty sure it it only certain plans ( unlimited etc) that include Mexico etc so make sure to check

I guess it's playing with fire but thats what we do..just turn cellular data off. I believe with ATT incoming texts are free and outgoing like 50 cents

I think you are thinking of Puerto Vallarta with the Walmart and Sam’s club ?

It doesn’t hurt me either one way or another. I just find it ..irritating?..that someone immediately gets “ scolded” for using the term upgrade when it costs money . but to the OP, nice upgrade 😊

I never understood this..I mean it’s either a paid upgrade or a free upgrade but it’s still an upgrade right?

We had read if you choose "Fidelity" you dont have to enter any sign in info ( We have Vanguard but also felt funny putting in user name and password) . Anyway, this worked for us

That walk across the street from Walmart to the ship can be an adventure it itself!

You will be fine ps..are you on the Feb10th sailing..if so see you there!

We have accepted an upgrade and did not lose our OBC ( we double checked with our PVP first)
