MTJSR Posted December 31, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Hi all, just home from the Sapphire Christmas cruise to Mexico. In a nutshell review, the cruise was very good overall. food was standard average and the staff was excellent. Weather was fantastic the entire time. Ship was loaded to the max and near 500 kids onboard. The Sapphire absorbs very well and parenting has gotten better I suppose :D but I never once felt like any kids were out of control. Here are random pictures taken over the week, unfiltered and there may be duplicates. Enjoy! http://s871.photobucket.com/user/mtjsr/slideshow/Mexico%202013%20Christmas%20Cruise Edited December 31, 2013 by MTJSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTJSR Posted December 31, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) How did you like the ports of call? We were thinking about doing this cruise in 2015 Puerto Vallerta was very nice, we were there on Christmas day and I thought everything would be closed but the opposite was true. This port is a good walk around port, we having been here before only ventured around the port area flea market and then across the street to Sam's Club. Lots of shore excursions here that you can sign up for. Port is nice, Sierra Madre mountains in the background and hotels and beaches in the foreground. Cabo San Lucas is very nice for water activities. Next time I think I will rent a sea-do and bomb around the open bay and cool off. Weather was hot and the port area was nice, but very aggressive selling by the local tour operators made for a gauntlet style walking tour. Ensenada is a short port stop, tours seem to focus on the local wine growing efforts. I walk the pier and call it good! The ride both directions was very smooth, hard to tell we were on a ship. Very nice cruise, enjoy! Edited December 31, 2013 by MTJSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireHoneymoon Posted December 31, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2013 We were in the cruise right before you, 12/15-12/22 and it was smooth for almost all the cruise except for Thursday night and all of Friday. Seemed like there was an earthquake in our room every 15-20 minutes or so. We were all the way aft on Emerald deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
