Before I posted I asked my wife who would notice the slightest motion and let me know it and  she felt the same as I about the rooms.

Cabin 10053 is right under jogging track, I thought it was a kid running up and down the hallway at first  every morning. Also movie screen SPEAKERS are right on the other side of room . Cabin 10046 was nice and quiet. Did not notice any rocking in either room, both cruises were out of San Diego to the Sea of Cortez

There are some great youtube videos on all the cruise ships out there.

Pick a ship that has shipboard experience they would like, more activity like Carnival or Royal, less activity like Celebrity or Holland ( my choice at 73 years) or Princess which is a great cruise line. You can have a great time on any of the lines. I would try a 7 day cruise as I have found a few people that do not like cruising.

We'll be on the Koningsdam next month and was curious about using ships tap water for Cpap, any opinions?

"Port Monkeys" have a video on youtube on a visit to Loreto, They walk along rocky beach and then end up at the plaza, Mission area with shops and restaurants . A taxi may be available.

I've seen an occasional person in the Lido in a robe as well, It reminded me of the Dude getting a carton of milk at Ralph's mkt

Thank you all. Any idea how long a walk from ship to the plaza area?  Husband uses walker. Thanks 

I'm thinking about 20 minutes. 

We like to walk to the plaza area , a short walk from the ship, nice tree shrouded walk with resturants and a few shops. very peaceful

After further research I think it is Playa El Coromuel beach

On the shuttle bus to La Paz from the cruise ship there is a beach that will drop you off  . Does anyone know the name of it. Thank you

As I age there is the chance I could die on a cruise, can you be buried at sea.

Holland America Koningsdam has two concept 2's 

does any one know how late in the day the little boats operate? 

I was on the Carnival Panorama and they had two rowers, I'm 72 with a bad memory but I think they were concept 2.

In the past I just shut off the cell phone when out of the USA, except for ships app.. Now my wife wants to be able to call from Mexico to USA on nine day cruise. We have a straight talk phone, 45 bucks a month. My question is how others use their phone when out of their home country. thank you

I like stone island, kick back in a lounger on the beach, cheap enough cerveza , guacamole , chips , salsa and more. I like  the vendors but if you don't want to deal with them some of the places rope off their establishment and the vendors stay out,  

Thanks for the info, we will be there in January.

I think my final count was also 18 - LOL!!!  I also find it funny that not only are they asking that we do the whole Verifly thing, but they are also asking us to still bring the paper versions of all of the same documents.  Just for grins (and IF I have time) I may go ahead and download the Verifly app and attempt to use it.  Does my husband also need it on his phone or can I upload all of his info to my Verifly app on my account?  Haven't really had time to look into all of the details yet.  Too busy trying to get my office work done!! Oh, and I also have to pack!  😁

i got 2 more today and started the verifly process, both on the same phone

Haha. We had this too. 

I just got 18 emails

I was on the Panorama just before covid hit, I cannot remember if they had a cigar lounge or a place where they were allowed. Do you know?

We don't order room service but someone put their tray in front of our doorway a few years back. 

We are platinum cruising on the Panorama, traveling by air  to LAX with carry on only. We are entitled to laundry service for up to three bags per week, my wife thinks it is three bags all at the same time and I'm thinking It could be one bag per day for up three seperate days, were going b to b., does anyone know the answer?  thank you.

P.S. they have a laundry so we can always do it ourselves.

Has any used a shuttle by Carnival  lax to and from the cruise terminal

I drink the ship water in the MDR, On our first cruise on the Carnival Jubilee my wife was taking a shower in the room and the water turned black, she was upset. they must have been doing something with the tanks so I always eyeball the water
