Rare HBCcruiser Posted April 10, 2019 Author #526 Share Posted April 10, 2019 You do not need "status" to sign up for these. Just need to sign up ASAP once on board.That is correct. We had lots of B2Bers onboard as well as 2 wedding parties. By the time we signed up they were full. We were put on the waitlist. Loved the Wine Makers though! Marvin, our server, was great!

I have seen the nets on the pools earlier than that. the hot tubs may be open later...but I thought not long after dark did they pull the nets across the pools as I don't believe the pool was open for MUTS last time we were on only the hot tubs...on the Royal class ships they close the pools as they do that water show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LessWorkMoreTravel Posted April 10, 2019 #532 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Thanks for all the info, HBC. Looks like you are having a wonderful time. We will be on the Royal in July. Do you have time to check out a cabin location for me? We are currently booked in B621 (deluxe balcony, deck 11 (baja) mid-aft). Our teenage kids are in B725 (interior aft). Looks like prices dropped a little today and since I haven't made final payment yet I want to call and get a price adjustment. But now it looks like B709 (aft, close to elevators) is available and I'm thinking about switching. But I'm worried about proximity to elevators. Can you scope it out for me and see if it looks like it would be a noisy location? It would be closer to the kids which is a plus and it's only 11 square feet smaller than the deluxe balcony, but it's $271 cheaper. Thanks!!!

Astro Flyer Posted April 10, 2019 #536 Share Posted April 10, 2019 12 hours ago, habita said: We have always enjoy the balcony dinners. Can they have them with such small balconies on the Royal? We’ve enjoyed several UBDs on the Royal & Regal in addition to larger balconies (up to 9’x9’) on other Princess ships. Royal-Class balconies are about 9’x4’ which is smaller than the 9’x5’ standard size balconies on their other ships. The table is at the railing no matter the size of the balcony so the difference is how much space is between the table & slider. For us the Royal-Class standard balcony’s smaller size didn’t affect our enjoyment of the UBD & we’ll do another one soon on the Royal Princess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted April 10, 2019 Author #537 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Resort for the day is the Hyatt Ziva. Not worth it IMO due to difficulty finding lounge chairs by pool or together. I would have rather stayed on the ship. Beach is nice, though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LessWorkMoreTravel Posted April 10, 2019 #538 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Looks beautiful but what a bummer about difficulty with lounge chairs I think when you are paying for excursions like this you should get reserved seating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzrbachoua Posted April 10, 2019 #539 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Is the Ziva the resort for Mazatlan or today in PV? If PV is this done as the Las Caletas tour or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted April 10, 2019 Author #540 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Pretty place just too crowded. Had the kept us to our original morning time and not moved as to the afternoon I think we would have gotten decent loungers. This is what we got:Using a palm tree for shade. Chair hogs abound but can’t blame them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinita415 Posted April 10, 2019 #542 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Now I think it will be even more crowded next week as it is Semana Santa before Easter. Did you go to a resort in Mazatlan too? Do you have time to find out which one it is? I think the Cabo one is Casa Dorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted April 10, 2019 Author #543 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Ok so we gave up and are ditching it back to the ship. Drinks were not as good as on Princess and mom needs shade.

Definitely worth the $$$ and I would do it again. The ocean was more rough than I thought it would be, so the kids ended up not doing the paddleboarding (but that was my choice - they certainly could have!)

Would greatly appreciate if you can find out name of Mazatlan resort. Yes in PV now. If you can go early it’s nice for babies. Kiddie pool. I’ll see what I can find out. The Cabo one was nice because the beach was calm. If you go to page one and click on my NCK Star review you’ll see it for yourself. This beach in PV too rough for baby.

We have never been so I wasn't sure if Las Calletas was the area and there were several resorts in the area. Only other thing I read about Las Calletas was that a poster said they were eaten alive from bugs...did you have any issue with bugs? But am glad you are saying it is amazing and now cant wait to go! Sadly I have to wait til November....boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
