Can you ask Emma if she will still be the CD on  the April 25 cruise? If she is not can you see if she will tell you if she knows who will be the CD?

Thank you and have a great cruise.

According to their schedule Emma is leaving on 4/18 and they haven't named her replacement CD yet...

You’re welcome. I hope it’s warmer for your week. It’s starting out a little chilly with a high of only 64 today.

Thanks for the info.  We are sailing on Jan 4th, and started packing!  We live near LB, and can tell others we are having the coldest winter I can remember.  We do this cruise most every year, and after Cabo it stays warm/hot!  Weather is usually good, especially as no rain/heat/humidity on past cruises (in the 80's is perfect for me).  Hope you have great weather!  

We are expecting rain this week.  Co-worker went down to Ensenada this month in rain and said the ship was "rocking & rollin" a bit, but it was her first cruise so really nothing to compare the seas to.  We could start an entire thread "the seas were....".

Thanks for info. It has actually warmed up and the sun is out and we found some spots in Serenity.

For those interested in Skyzone. It’s a little smaller than promotional videos made it seem (only half the room is trampoline area and the other half is rock climbing, jousting, etc with crash mats underneath). We may try it out on the last sea day. Seems like morning time slots are reserved for “toddler jump” and late morning into the afternoon is “open jump.” They also have “glow jump” at night. Cost is $12/person for a 30 minute time slot. Grip socks included at no additional cost. No flipping or rotating allowed.

Will do. I hope you enjoy your time on board.

So we had a great day in Cabo. First time here and we decided to do the whale watching excursion. We chose WHALEWATCHCABO. They did a great job and very environmentally conscious. Just beware of all the vendors hawking tours near the pier - their boats looked of questionable sea worthiness. Plus our guide Maria, a marine biologist, said a lot of them aren’t respectful towards the whales and how to observe them. It was a busy day in town as there were two additional ships in port. So when booking your shore excursions

be aware that your ship time and Cabo time may be different and account for the time it takes to catch your tender over to Cabo.

Same excursion and vendor I have planned. Are you in port 10-7? That’s our schedule. Which I believe is 11-6 Cabo time. They have 12-2:30 and 3-5:30 excursions which I believe would be 11-1:30 and 2-4:30 ship time. My preference is the later excursion. Everyone is of course booking the earlier one...which is one of the things I like about the later one. That still gets you back 2 hours before back on board. I should be alright with that huh? I’m guessing you went with the early time?

I would pick the later time. We barely arrived at noon (Cabo) and that’s with priority tendering and a 20 minute brisk walk. They ask you show up 30 minutes early, so we were technically late.  Let us know about your experience. The guide took better pictures than I could and she said they will email them to us free of charge.

Hello again, loving your LIVE review.  So I'm wondering how your liking the dining on board.  Where have you had dinner so far?  Did you catch the seaday brunch yesterday.  What's your favorite eats so far?  Had any Pizza?  I always love the pizza.  Are you Your Time Dining or Traditional, and is it working out for you.

 

Thanks again and Merry almost Christmas Eve, LOL

We have had dinner in the main dining room (late seating) every night so far with no complaints. We have a few members of our party with food allergies and our wait staff has been great with accommodating us. The Sea Day brunch yesterday was very busy, but good. Guy’s Burger is a favorite of ours for lunch, but no pizza yet. Thanks for following along!

[PekingeseLady]

We are early traditional.  So I was wondering if you noticed how the tables for 2 are.  Like are they sprinkled around, are there noticeably a lot of 2 tops.  I like a table with 2 chairs, versus those rows of couch type seating on one side.

 

I have not had a Guys Burger yet, I can not wait.  YUMMY!!!  Thanks for your quick response.  I just love eating in the dining room.  Are you going to do the Teppankai?
