mr. godfredo Posted August 18, 2021 #103 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Following as we are scheduled to do the Nov. 20th cruise for Thanksgiving. I hope it still sails. For those that set sail this weekend, I wish you a great cruise and look forward to hearing about your experience! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tippyton Posted August 18, 2021 #104 Share Posted August 18, 2021 This is a fun itinerary we have done a couple of times. Good luck for a successful and drama free cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports on cruise director Lee Mason is he is lively, engaging & entertaining. I personally find Cruise directors described in this fashion as being over the top and annoying but hey, to each their own. He’s really not bad. I had him for 31 days, and wasn’t annoyed by the end. LOL He’s British and has a pretty dry sense of humor. Some may get his jokes, some may not. I didn’t think he was over the top at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears there may be some changes in protocols to manage the health considerations. I am looking to get a booster shot of Moderna vaccine, and an annual foreign travel medical evacuation policy. Nationwide has a policy that covers most mishaps and is only a few hundred for a couple with kids even. Hopefully, it won't be needed, but better safe than building a "go fund me" page to get home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicky3vicky Posted August 19, 2021 #112 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Is this change in the itinerary a permanent or temporary change because of covid? The reason I ask is because, though my cruise is a year away, i already booked a horseback riding excursion in Puerta Vallarta. If the changes are permanent then our excursion will be at the samt time we have reservations for Bonsai Teppanyaki. If this is a temporary change, no problem, but if permanent I would like to change my dinner reservation. The only reason that I suspect that it might be permanent is because the last time I cruised out of california was when the "Brand New Carnival Elation" first sailed and our first port was Puerta Vallarta. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelplus Posted August 19, 2021 #116 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Will be on the Feb 26th ,2022 sailing and so far my itinerary is the original one not the flipped one. I booked the Luxury Yacht/Snorkel Cruise in Cabos In Mazatlan I found a tour of the City with Lunch with an independent shore excursion company. In Puerto I am doing the Local Traditions Cooking class at a Private Villa and the Rhythms Of The Night. For Specialty Dining I booked Farenheit 55 for the first night, Chefs Table and Cuchina Del Capitano for the final night. I have a standard balcony on Deck 8! Any tips? I think I covered everything.

The sky-ride is a little scary only one portion of it where you swing around and catch up speed. I never get used to that but it's fun. Nothing spectacular but you will get your workout on. I can't remember how long the Bonsai Tempanyaki is. It was just alright wasn't that impressed with it. I did it on the Bliss (NCL) and it was better on that ship than the Panorama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviela Posted August 20, 2021 #120 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I would think the changes in itinerary for some voyages might be due to port congestion, availability of tender boats at Cabo, or delivery of provisions to the ship. In any event it is all good. There is always a possibility of changes due to marine or weather conditions. The sea is bigger than we are and will dictate our passage at any given moment.

I'm not sure if there are any other cruise ships in the Mexican Riviera right now. Perhaps someone else will chime in about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDN Posted August 21, 2021 #124 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Hurricane Grace is going to pop out the other side of Mexico late Sunday as a tropical depression. This cruise is due in PV on Tuesday so should miss it but could churn things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
