Nancy -- thanks --- I was looking at visiting Leon as well -- we're not big on mass group tours but may just try to get a ride there and just explore. For the Puerto Quetzal stop we're booked on the Colonial Antigua on your own -- i.e., take the princess transportation and do a walk-about.

We haven't settled on what to do in Costa Rica yet -- I gave a quick search on visits to Arenal volcano but seems to be too much travel time. I did see that the day we are in port is the last day of their annual Carnival festival -- so it may be an interesting party day in town -- this is advertised as the biggest carnival festival in Costa Rica.

By the way - there is a roll call thread for this cruise as well -- have you seen it -- This is my first experience with cruise critic and it looks like a good way to be in contact with co-travelers.

Rebecca and I are counting down the days --

Greetings - My wife and I will also be on the Island Princess for the Feb 12 sailing -- I am in the process of building our in port activities for the trip and I also am stumped on what to do in Nicaragua. We are planning on a self guided tour of Antigua during the Guatamala stop and I was thinking about the same for Leon.

We're really looking forward to the trip -- this is our fourth cruise in 10 years but first to Pacific coast and central America. We also booked a few nights in Acapulco to check it out as well.

Welcome any suggestions and will track the postings.
