We walked by and there were a group doing some kind of activity so i just moved on. Sorry I didnt get to meet everyone from our RC. But we did get to meet you and Tom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious about why they made the change. There were already 2 ships ported in Ensenada so we were last ship in after dark! What a mess this turned out to be for both time in port and immigration! We scheduled a San Francisco excursion for 10 a.m. which was changed to 9 a.m. with a meet time of 8:30 so we will have to do room service for breakfast. At least we may be among the first through immigration. I was told that the excursion time was changed to 9-12 by the vendor. It sound like you were able to make a great plan for dinner in the MDR. Club Orange has had lines at the door before opening and fills up quickly with the two large tables for 6 at the front used for sharing. People who come later may have to wait for a table to clear. We got to CO at 6:30 Saturday night and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiller Posted November 7, 2023 #103 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I assume that on the Thanksgiving cruise, where the last port is Ensenada before we return to San Diego, there isn't any of this immigration hassle until we actually disembark? Or at least anything would be on the ship itself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Hawaii in February we sailed from Ensenada to San Diego, walked off the ship and with facial recognition immigration didn’t even ask to see our passport. They just said “Welcome Home”. Easy. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted November 7, 2023 Author #115 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Ok to let you know what we had. To be honest Tom was not that hungry because he went to the Lido for lunch twice, one with just himself and later with me. Actually I am fighting a cold I am feeling better tonight but I slept for a few hours after breakfast So by the time we had early dining neither of us were very hungry Tom skipped starter and I had the jumbo shrimp cocktail, then we both had the filet and shrimp newburg. For dessert neither of us cared for the options so I asked what sorbets they had. Not on the menu but we had watermelon sorbet. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BetsyS. Posted November 7, 2023 #116 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I hope your cold will be gone soon. I agree - you can always get things that are not on the menu - like fruit crisps, creme brulee and a vegetable you want. The waiters are very glad to fill a request. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanDiegian Posted November 7, 2023 #119 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Thanks for setting the table for us all. I love the Royal Delft Blue Plates with the HAL logo. And I just hate every time I bring home from my cruise something unwanted… a cold. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
