Does the Hawaii to Vancouver portion stop in Victoria? There have been cases in the past where a passenger was allowed to disembark in Victoria, then make their way to Vancouver to board the 2nd cruise.

Aqua spa cafe has limited hours which will show in the app. Something like breakfast until 10am and lunch 12-2.

We have Premium wifi and it has been very good this week. much better than Eclipse in Oz and NZ 😆

We are using Cabo Trek for a 2.5 hour whale watch in a couple of days. $190 for 2 adults. Not sure if they have kids pricing. My guess is you will not be able to do a tour for 8 for $250 or less. I also doubt you will find a 30 min whale watch. Perhaps you will be able to see whales from the ship or as you approach Cabo

Try Midwil Shuttle. We’ve used them 2 times and have been picked up in a large van.

@abbydanceryour “live from” is getting me excited for our cruise next week. Although we still don't have a suite assignment. You’re probably the rare diners requesting tap vs bottled in Luminae 😆 I remember when we met you and Beth on Equinox and all of us commenting on the burger being too thick to eat, Im looking forward to one on Sat. Enjoy!

I think we were on that cruise with you and Iain. I remember chatting with you, we used to live in Sunnyvale. I didn't realize the MBNMS stretched all the way from Marin to SLO county. We’re lucky to be able to visit Monterey anytime, I imagine there will be some unhappy guests though.

Was it destroyed in the recent storms? And if not, is it technically part of Monterey Bay?

We’ve never been limited to one. But it could also be that we upgrade to the Premium bev pkg and (i think) that also includes 20% off wine by the bottle.

FLL? How big are your suitcases? Do you have any carryon? I would do XL just incase you get the random driver that won’t put more than 1 suitcase in the boot of his Prius!

I was surprised our friends could dine in Blu at any time, it was always busy during prime hours. I’m not unhappy with this decision.

There is also the reduced deposit.

In December on Exlipse, sky suite guests were allowed to dine in Blu, if you really want to have a meal there ask the retreat host/hostess.

Ive found that the Aqua robes which are terry cloth run much bigger than the light weight waffle in “regular” cabin which are snug on me.

I would have been quite angry if I paid for wifi on our cruises. But I was on Holiday and it was just an annoyance.

This week we booked a suite guarantee for Solstice departing on 2/11. No cabin assignment yet and no suites “available” to book.

Eclipse has transitioned to Starlink. Our S Pacific and NZ cruises wifi in the cabin was not good. We joked that perhaps Elon doesn’t like that part of the world. Wifi was better near the elevators and in the ilounge however we did have 1-2 days with no signal at all.

Looking forward to following along especially since we board on the 11th. Drive Safe and hello to Beth!

For anyone reading this and freaking out, as I did momentarily. Here is the link to the Port schedule. I only see X being assigned B50 on April 1. https://www.portsamerica.com/operations/cruise-los-angeles-terminal-schedule

I just booked the 2/11 cruise today and also booked with Cabo Trek. Thanks! If you have a chance can you wander by the iLounge and tell me if they are selling any Apple products. We have a large OBC…then again the Veuve dinner would be a good use of $$$. We did it previously and had a great time. Look forward to hearing about the rest of your week.

This has been solved but, I have friends who fill a water bottle to take off the ship when staying at a hotel post cruise. Why not carry on Vodka in a water bottle 😆

Not the Caribbean but something I’d never experienced before…We recently cruised on Eclipse and the line to disembark in a couple NZ ports was quite long (into the casino and almost to forward elevators). We joined when it was mid casino but still took us approx 20-25 min before we were down the gangway.

Excited to follow along. We are flying home today after being on EC for Dec 9 and Jan 2 cruises. You mentioned Captain Theo? Is Captain Leo gone already?

Wouldn't it be almost an hour walk?

@ellencmp Layers! I presume this is April/May timeframe? Unless you are spending time precruise in Hawaii, pack less for the tropical weather, it will get cool a day or 2 after leaving Hawaii. We’re currently in Australia after a S Pacific cruise, heading to NZ soon. I over packed for the tropics, and have layers for NZ where even though its summer will be cooler. So similar situation 😂
