hannahsmomtoo Posted October 2, 2012 Author #52 Share Posted October 2, 2012 What a great review, thanks! Looks like you two had a great time. That sea lion would have scared me though--they're so big!:eek: he WAS 450 pounds.... and had giant teeth.. it was just too cool of an experience to be scared.. ( until after !! ) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For just shopping which port was better? Thx Hi :) I can't honestly answer about Cabo.. we did not shop there due to time restraints... but we really enjoyed the merchants in Puerto Vallarta. Haggling is half of the fun. We bought all of our souveniers there.. and DD got a gorgeous handmade sundress as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaterette Posted October 2, 2012 #56 Share Posted October 2, 2012 thank you for your review. I will be on the Splendor in 20 days and am looking forward to it even though I was on it two years ago. It appears that you had a really good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrounds Posted October 2, 2012 #59 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Loved the review. Wonderful pics. My favorite, the donkey. Remember him from the port in PV. Have wondered over the months what you and your daughter looked like as I read your posts. Its good to connect the screen name with the faces.:) Have been on the SPLENDOR 3 times and looking forward to a 4th in a month or so. Sure hate to see her go.:( But, don't dismay. The MIRACLE, coming to LA, is a Spirit class ship and is beautiful. Cruised her with my son and his fiancee almost 2 years ago. Everybody is going to love this ship also.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvercrikhix Posted October 2, 2012 #64 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thank you for sharing your review! I noticed you on these boards for months from your first excited post to your last pre-cruise post! Your posts have all been delightful, enthusiastic and good reads! I have been anticipating your return and review, as a first time cruiser with positive thoughts and aspirations! You did not disappoint and I am sooo glad that you and Hannah enjoyed yourselves so much! You gals look more like sisters in that 3rd formal night photo than mom and daughter! You are both beautiful. We all know you're hooked and predicted you would be (LOL) so where to next is the question, Hannah and her mom? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4hunters Posted October 2, 2012 #65 Share Posted October 2, 2012 We wrapped up our evening by watching several shows.. "Game show mania" "Sea Feud" and "Superstar live Karaoke".. all very fun ! The next day ( Day 2 in PV ) was our Sea Lion encounter. I can not say enough about this. We both consider this to have been the highlight of the trip. We got to play with Sea lions in a small group and then a fabulous lunch was served. I will post the pics but they do not do the experience justice Great pics, but what's up with the guy and his Gerber tat?? lol :D Edit: So have you booked your next cruise yet?? Thanks again for the review. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsfromsc Posted October 2, 2012 #71 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So glad you had such a great time with your daughter. Thanks for sharing all your pics and thoughts. My husband and I loved to get away without our kids when they were younger, but then we'd spend the whole time saying, "Wouldn't the kids love this!" The best cruise I've had was the one we took with our kids where we could see how much they enjoyed everything. We loved sitting down to dinner in the MDR each night (a dinner none of us had to cook or clean up after!) and each one would share what they'd done that day. So special!

erinpdx Posted October 3, 2012 #74 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Did you book the Sea Lion excursion through Carnival? If so, do you remember how much you paid and how long it lasted? Looks like so much fun! Was it in Cabo or PV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like so much fun! Was it in Cabo or PV? Hi Erin.. I did book it through Carnival.. It is called the Sea lion encounter. The fee was $99 per person but I used a 10% discount code. it was a total of about 3 hours.. but there was a lunch included in that. It was in Puerto Vallarta.. Actually another cool part was.. They meet you at the port...and it is a 20 minute ride to the Sealion center... we assumed we would be stuck in a bus or van... but the "20 min ride" is on a boat.. which was also really neat. We loved everything about our cruise... but this excursion was the best part ! Fyi.. the same company does a dolphin encounter also... but it was about 4x more crowded than the sea lions..
