We are on the Panorama now in Cabo. We have eaten breakfast every day in the MDR and liked the service. Today we had an excursion at 6 30am and the only thing opened before was light fare at the buffet. You would have assumed that the would open dining earlier but no.

We took United from Newark to LA. Can't sleep on a plane so was expecting to watch a few movies. We flew to Europe with them last May and it was good but now we find out they took away the backseat movies and you have to use your cellphone. I'm a little hard of hearing and can't get the volume up enough so it was 6 hours of just doing nothing. Make it 8 because there was maintenance problems and we sat in the plane for two hours before we even left. Ugh!!!

We are on the Panorama now but only 7 days so no La Paz. Tomorrow will be our first stop PV. Enjoying your review.

We stayed at the Queen Mary for convenience. I did not like it. Too stark with no amenities. You couldn't control the AC from the room so it was freezing over night. Easy walk though especially coming off the Carnival Radiance the day before.

We embarked the Panorama yesterday when you disembarked. We had a 11am boarding time. When we got to the terminal at that time no one had as yet embarked. We waited and waited with no one telling us what was happening. Finally about 12pm they started embarking. We were having Guys burgers about 12 45.

Looking forward to more.

We just stayed in a regular balcony on the Venezia on deck 6 just above this area. We could see everything on the patios below so not much privacy. But the walkway was seldom used. We are on the Panorama in two weeks in the same area. There should be more activity on the walkway because there is a pool which the Venezia did not have one.

What a tragic thing to happen.

Saw a really cheap excursion on Viator for the glass bottom boat to the Arch and it says meeting up place is Dock D Marina. Is this near where you get off the tender? I know you can book them once you are on shore but would like to know anyway. Thanks.

Prices for the Internet just became available for both my Odyssey and Symphony sailings next year at $21.99/day. I paid $19.99/day for my Liberty sailing in September. Do you think the price will come down later in the year? And if I book it now and use my OBC will Royal return the OBC for me to use if I cancel and rebook?

If I book a Mexican bus tour through Viator, do they charge a foreign transaction fee on your credit card if that card does not have the foreign transaction exemption? I called them but got someone whose accent was hard to understand.

Got it. Thanks.

Don't criticize her. JustSam won American Idol a few years ago.

Oops! It was the lounge/bar overlooking the pool area.

Before my Miraviglia cruise last October there were discussions here and on FB about a certain ethnic group that was being obnoxious, cutting lines, reserving seats in theater, etc. I found it wasn't too bad on my cruise. The ceiling and stairs get old pretty fast. The only quiet place to sit was in the piano bar on deck 17. The MDR food wasn't too good. I did not like a set dining time either. But the shows were great. Also enjoyed the after hours pizza and snacks.
