As an investor would love to see them get back to 100%, but as a cruiser would be awesome to experience 1/2 full just once 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing all of it with us. Do they have someone on the excursion to lock up your items while swimming & snorkeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an investor, we certainly want to see those numbers go up, however, as the cruiser, half full would be an awesome experience. 🙂 Hope to meet you on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear yours was fun. Didn't see it available on our cruise. Thanks again for all the updates! will be posting an update soon on stone island, went there today 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aubreyc1988 Posted October 29, 2021 Author #156 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) For stone island, go through the cruiseline. We went through a tour company called “mazatlan tours” and it was really confusing. Was hard to find them at the port, then they wanted to take us back for the ship at 3, which was cutting it too close for comfort so we asked for 2pm, so our tour guide worked out some sort of deal with the cruiseline excursion people and we sort of merged on their excursion, which really confused a lot of the people in that excursion. I originally was going to book via the cruiseline but my friend wanted to do this other company, but yeah I should have insisted. Heres some photos of stone island excursion the thing with the horses, I shouldn’t have ridden them, but I agreed before I realize the abuse that was happening to these horses. The whole time I apologized to my poor horse. There is a lot of vendors at stone island, be prepared for that, water was not clear but temp was good (red tide was going on yesterday) Edited October 29, 2021 by aubreyc1988 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aubreyc1988 Posted October 29, 2021 Author #157 Share Posted October 29, 2021 So when we got back to our room yesterday after stone island, I noticed that my prescription glasses, which I left on my nightstand because I only took my prescription sunglasses to Mazatlan, were bent all crazy! I thought maybe my best friend broke them by accident, but had a call from guest services that they knocked them off the nightstand and room steward stepped on them. Luckily I was able to bend my glasses back into shape (they are still funky looking) and I actually have an appointment with my eye doctor next week to get new prescriptions. I assured my room steward it was ok, but there was no offer to pay for my glasses or anything which was kind of a bummer. I won’t be a Karen about it, considering accidents happen and I’m getting new glasses soon, but the offer would have been nice. Also, I swear our room steward cleans our room 3-4x a day, just a little overkill if you ask me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That offer should have been made when you talked to guest services. Just my opinion. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCal Posted October 29, 2021 #160 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Personally I’d talk to guest services about covering the cost of the new glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastcat Posted October 29, 2021 #162 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Four ships due in Cabo today: Bliss, Disney Wonder, Celebrity Millennium, and Grand Princess ships. Wonder is already here; from my balcony I can hear that chipper Disney music. The Celebrity ship should be here shortly if it isn’t already, with the Princess arriving close to our all-aboard time of 1pm. It’s a gorgeous day in Cabo. The Lands End boat tour is a nice short excursion (and less than the $50 ShoreEx, yay) but I can’t wait to return during whale watching season. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzinNubian Posted October 29, 2021 #163 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thank you so much for the time and effort you are putting in the most entertaining live review! It is so appreciated! I am counting down to my first solo cruise on 11/14. Your packing and excursion tips as well as the menus and daily activity brochure have been super helpful in my planning. I learned I need to pack something warm and don't use the salon for my afro! 😂 May your voyage continue to be full of great memories, blue skies and margaritas! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The room steward and the supervisor were almost in tears talking to me about it so I just didn’t have the heart to ask. I can’t stand it when people are crying 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aubreyc1988 Posted October 29, 2021 Author #165 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) So a little behind in my review, so sorry! I will get some more dailies posted soon last night went to Taste, got the pork which was good, no appetizer. I am getting tired of all the eating lol Liars club was so funny, and look at that big win I got around midnight last night! The slot attendants were cheering me on, got 67 spins and collected 12 Buffalo heads I’ll upload the pictures soon, something is weird with the internet right now Edited October 29, 2021 by aubreyc1988 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lono Akeakamai Posted October 29, 2021 #169 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thank you for your reports; I am glad you are enjoying yourself. Do you happen to know the names of the cruise director, assistant cruise director and any others in the cruise director's staff? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate on that? We have an outside excursion booked for the same thing but now I’m second guessing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aubreyc1988 Posted October 30, 2021 Author #175 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Random photos from today! We took some random tour by a local guy that was about 40 min to the arch. (Wouldn’t recommend, book in advance through the ship, we just procrastinated) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
