I guess in all our Mexico cruises we just haven’t picked one with Huatulco. We have done the one that includes La Paz where we went snorkelling with whale sharks-that was very memorable! Once we start cruising again I’ll look more closely for Huatulco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I’ve ever seen huatulco has been with a Panama Canal cruise because it’s so far south. I’d be all over a Mexican cruise that had huatulco. Regardless I do enjoy any Mexico cruise.

We enjoy the Mexico ones as well as it’s easy for us to get to San Diego from Vancouver. Maybe we will see you one day on it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a gem of a port and not as touristy as others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Btimmer Posted January 8, 2022 Author #111 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The Captain just announced Cartegena has been cancelled due to their new Covid testing requirement.

Rare Btimmer Posted January 9, 2022 Author #116 Share Posted January 9, 2022 @zelker, thanks for offering. In these times and because we have a bunch of shipboard credit, we're sticking with HAL tours. Normally we use exclusively private excursions.

ScottishMaid Posted January 9, 2022 #119 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Tim - At Puerto Limon I recommend a Tortuguero Canal boat ride. Six of us went on a private tour and saw birds, monkeys and sloths in the trees and alligators in the water and on the banks. I think HAL was doing tours, in a bigger boat of course with more people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 3rd Party handle that I purchased in Singapore or Australia. My hand is in the picture for comparison. The case is a factory one; nothing special. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Btimmer Posted January 9, 2022 Author #124 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Today on this sea day we participated in a wine tasting. We picked up a good tip on a dessert wine from Chile. Dessert wines are our favorites. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boze9999 Posted January 9, 2022 #125 Share Posted January 9, 2022 This was one of the most unique wine tastings - Wines of Chile and Argentina and Cellar Master Lelani was so informative with her knowledge of the wines of the Andes! Yes @Btimmeropened our eyes to some of the Cellar Master wines we haven't tried! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
