Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 15, 2022 Author #1003 Share Posted December 15, 2022 The route took us along the waterfront. The hawkers are everywhere and truly a pest. Always fun thing along the way. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 15, 2022 Author #1004 Share Posted December 15, 2022 6 of the 8 on out whale watching were cc members. Was fun to meet Neil and Judy. Also Eric and his mother. She fell in OVC on first day of cruise and broke her arm. Our guide met us at 11:55 and we were off to our small boat - Big Brother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 15, 2022 Author #1005 Share Posted December 15, 2022 The guid was incredible. She is here from the Azores for the winter season and was so knowledgeable. She would prep us with get ready and a whale would come up within seconds. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the people on shore also got a nice view of this as it looks like you were very close to shore. They were. We met a couple from North Carolina who were staying in Cabo and could see whales jumping from their room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 15, 2022 Author #1011 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Today we are in Mazatlan. Initially I was going to hike to the top of El Faro Lighthouse and the Mirador De Cristal. Iain finally said he would also go but no way is he going out on the Crystal walkway 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carts had hard plastic wheels and the sidewalks were cobble stone, VERY noisy. I asked around why they don't use inflatable wheels and they all looked at me like I was crazy.

Guest relations gave us ear buds but I could still hear through them. Bill is quite deaf without his hearing aides and it woke him as well. I told them that the door wide open with crashing waves ( we had bad weather) along with the ear plugs worked. We suddenly had a new cabin and a surprise FCC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinBanka Posted December 15, 2022 #1015 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Jim, thanks for all your great photos as usual. You really have the knack to make us feel like we are on the cruise and excursions with you! It’s a great escape from the winter reality in New England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so agree, wonderful pictures and escaping winter is so nice. We have gotten close to a foot of snow in the last 24 hours, with more on the way and seeing pictures of places that we did this same itinerary years ago, is great. FWIW, we did the same itinerary on a Princess ship after our Carnival cruise was cancelled two months before our trip after the Splendor caught fire in the engine room. Since we had our air bought to LA we looked for a similar cruise and also got a chance to see a different cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got done with another round of shoveling and I can sure feel it. It is in the low 30º's and that snow was heavy, even with my snowblower.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 16, 2022 Author #1025 Share Posted December 16, 2022 We also had a Bridge - Natural Bridges National Park in Santa Cruz Originally it had 3 bridges But due to storms there is just one now It's fame to claim is that it is a migratory breeding grown of the Monarch Butterfly. During the winter at night they clump together to keep warm 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
