NEW 2 CRUISIN Posted December 8, 2016 #51 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Wonderful day in Mazatlan...took Stone Island tour we drank beer...ate coconut shrimp at Victor's...not crowded..nice waves...a touch of old Mexico! Back on ship to get ready for mariachis, showtime and more Margaritas! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forums mobile app WOOHOO! Glad to hear Victor's is still open on the beach! We had seen some posts that suggested it may be closed. Have gone there each time we visited in the past (with "Randy's Happy Horses" :( ) and plan to go again on our own when we are on this cruise in February! THANKS FOR YOUR UPDATES!

WINEMANVISALIA Posted December 9, 2016 Author #59 Share Posted December 9, 2016 To the OPIt seems that you are enjoying the cruise! Could you please post the name of the CD ? Thank you ! Cruise director is Peter Tredgett who does morning show explaining activities during the day.. Last night was formal night...about 1/3 dress up...the rest of us did casual chic or casual whatever... Santa arrived for photo ops with all of us and our kids...in atrium area deck 7...very nice idea! Captain's party was at 7pm...free drinks and nibbles..the Lin family won most days on Princess cruise 1736 days!..nice get together! Thursday night football was on MUTS...the Raiders lost to the Chiefs...nice option for us guys.. Travel tip...Cabo is very hot and if you do much walking you will be exhausted for on board activities...suggest you go easy at this port like a whale or arches tour..there is so much on the Ruby to do that you want to be awake..for instance we missed balloon drop at 11am which we love but too many beers with chips and salsa followed by a few margaritas got us sleepy too early...oh well, next cruise we will do better😀😁😂😊 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted December 10, 2016 #69 Share Posted December 10, 2016 It sounds as though they are changing CD. It happens. The balloon drop on all the ships we have been on has been at 10:30 pm or later. I agree that the music and dancing that follow (and precede) is the best part to me.

So cool that Santa came early! My kids love the Santa part during holiday cruises. I think the only balloon drop I've ever seen was NYE's on a cruise. They did a balloon drop on our Thanksgiving cruise and the kids all got balloons, but I wasn't there for it. I love the Ruby. Wish I was going on her for Christmas.

WINEMANVISALIA Posted December 10, 2016 Author #73 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Overall, we had great time... food was very good...breakfast was easy for us..omelette station order then we added breads and pastries...sat overlooking aft pool on deck 15...gave omelette order to server and they brought the orders to us with coffee...nice.. Lunch was eaten everywhere on the ship...gelato in the piazza.. horizon for entrees and trident grill for hamburgers...Dinner was done the same way..we chose not to eat in MDR or specialty restaurants as just wanted to be with whomever we wanted to meet.. Entertainment was also very good Kumari guitarist played 60's music. Mariachis were authentic and played requests....poolside music was very danceable...crooners bar was comfortable and piano man rocked...adagio bar very cozy... Skywalker was so so...anyway no problem being entertained.. The only issues revolved around uneven service from cabin steward the first couple of days but it was all straightened out and he was very attentive the rest of the cruise...also the bathroom was a bit small for us..smallest balcony room and shower was butt close!...would recommend minisuite or full suite! Internet was very reliable and princess at sea app makes it efficient to check your bill daily and see lists of activities on both our tablets..yayyyy Princess! The ports were appealing...though 3 ports in a row can be exhausting...just pace yourselves and you will do fine! Okay, folks...get out there and cruise!
