cat shepard Posted December 5, 2019 #155 Share Posted December 5, 2019 The chocolate letters might be the intended gift, but the accompanying note with the background history is the real gift for me. And I love chocolate. Thank you for sharing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeniEncinitas Posted December 5, 2019 #156 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Good morning canadianbear!! Glad your having a lot of rest and relaxation time! Your doing a great job on reporting all that you do!! I appreciate your honesty about OC. I agree not worth it especially as a 4 star and even with a NS just doesn’t Make me get excited. Will have to see on Koningsdam next year with our NS. Light rain this early am but is suppose to clear up With over cast clouds today in San Diego. Have a nice day in Cabo! I agree good relaxing by the pool. Denise😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare *Miss G* Posted December 5, 2019 #158 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I have to agree that Club Orange on the non Pinnacle-class ships hold very little value. When HAL’s own staff show it has very little value, it has failed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakridger Posted December 5, 2019 #160 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I’m onboard also but am traveling with a friend so haven’t spent time with Cruise Critic postings this cruise. I want to thank Canadianbear for all the great pictures and info! I’d like to add that the club orange menu offering of the the duck entree listed above was a standard MDR offering a couple days ago, so not really different from normal entrees. It was as delicious though! I have been very happy with the food quality this week. I’m shocked to hear about the Club HAL change discussed on the other thread though!! There aren’t many kids on this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren’t many kids on this week. It’s really a scam!! Let’s offer CO one extra entree that we’ve had before on regular menu 😒. I honestly don’t think I’d ever recommend someone buying it but to each their own. Some have had positive reviews but I think more are negative. I also was shocked about Club Hal and the thread. We now have a grandchild and certainly will not take her on a HAL cruise. They are missing the mark by changing it as their loyal clients spend lots taking their extended families on cruises. Sorry we didn’t meet up oakridger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry we didn’t meet up oakridger. I so agree with you 100%! Club HAL 😞 so sad for parents who in the past enjoyed their children there. HAL is going in the wrong direction!! Now IMO OC is not worth it from a lot of CCers views But there are several on the Pinnacle Class say how much they enjoy it! will pass on OC and I will enjoy Pinnacle, Tamarind, and Rudy’s Sel de mar! Had a lot of sunshine that broke through today here in San Diego! Denise😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love San Diego to be honest but wish our Mazatlán day was still on the agenda. It sounds like CO is more popular on the Pinnacle class ships. I saw a post that Roger purchased CO and will report.

canadianbear Posted December 5, 2019 Author #165 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Sitting on our deck with a beautiful view (and a glass of wine!!) waiting for last tender to load then we are off. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer day in Cabo. Spent lots of time in the aft pool which was refreshing (cold to some!) oh-and couldn’t resist these 2 little dresses for our granddaughter ❤️ Edited December 5, 2019 by canadianbear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked away from one place as I knew the maximum I’d spend. Of course he wanted me back but I found another place to buy the dresses!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbear Posted December 5, 2019 Author #170 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Some random photos from today from breakfast in Pinnacle and walking around Cabo etc. We also had our flowers replaced in our cabin. The stewards are again these invisible genies!! First photo is our window view from breakfast today arriving in Cabo. First day we’ve had a window seat as the tables are usually for four. The other photo is usually where we sit-at a table for two. Hope the photos don’t come through twice-I need a lesson from POA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbear Posted December 6, 2019 Author #171 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The sun was right in our eyes when I was trying to take a photo of the arches when leaving. We chose to stay on our balcony for sail away since we were on the “right” side 😁 We love the aft pool and hang out there a lot. If you ever see an old woman & hubby jump in from the deep end, that’s probably us-say hi! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted December 6, 2019 #172 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Those dresses are so cute! You’ll have to let us know how they looked on. I bet they’re cuddly cute. Thank you for the beautiful pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
