Thanks...joining the ranks of virtual world cruisers until July, when you get to put up with me again.  😄 

Thanks again Patricia! I almost felt like I was there with you in your amazing travels.

Too bad we’ll be getting off in Barcelona just as you’re getting back on, but we’re certainly more excited now!

Oh no...you too?  I knew about big island Hawaii...but not about you getting one.  But I suppose it's all related?   Even back home near Port Canaveral they had a very rare one recently.   

 

Mother Nature deciding she wants to be "All shook up"?  

Our planet has been getting bombarded over and over by Solar flares and energy this week and that affects everything here, which can cause earthquakes and volcanic activity.….I’m not a scientist, I just play one here and on FB 🤪

 @CSHS1979 Last day today, time for one more spa treatment? What are your plans?

😄  I don't watch the news when we cruise...oh...am I a poet and didn't know it?  😄  

 

Did not know about the solar flares.  Very interesting.....thanks!

Current position heading to Ensenada.  We don't arrive until 11 am...so will give me some packing time this morning.  A "balmy" 53 degrees outside with some light winds and spitting rain.  Coastal rain blocking the sunrise.

Never fun when these things arrive.  😳

Look at how many tags you have.  Depending on how many are doing just the first segment, there may be lots of luggage coming off that ship.

I always...always.... put two tags on each bag.  We have one full suitcase each, and two duffle bags that we check, which will slip over the big suitcase handles when we collect them.  Thus...8 tags.  😉 

 

About 1/3 of us departing tomorrow...approximately 500.  Nothing compared to an Oasis class bail out.  😉

Coming into Ensenada now...saw a lot of dolphin and whales on the way in.  Sea Lions already making them self known...by sight and barking!  Crappy phone camera not getting a great shot, but the lady Sea Lions were welcoming us in, some on the banks, some on the buoy.  Maybe get a better shot later.

Tie up time.  Lots of "ork..ork...ork..ork" from the multitude of what looks like a LOT of Sea Lions!  Another one of the better ports that is not a freight yard, no tender, and able to walk to town.  Beautiful weather out with some sun and mid 60s.  Looking forward to exploring.  

Have 3 of 4 bags packed now, so we are ahead of the game.  🙂

Hi island lady, just a wee note to say how much I’ve followed following you on your travels. Thanks for the info, updates, pics, everything you’ve posted. 
 

I’ve only ever been on one cruise before (Allure) but you’ve got me back in the mood for another, so we booked another earlier today.

 

safe travels when you get off the ship

Have you heard a estimate of how many will be boarding.

Thank you to all of you who have been posting and are now leaving the cruise!  I've enjoyed reading about your experiences and hope you have a safe journey home as well as an easy re-entry to your daily life!

[Arzeena]

Safe travels home everyone! Thank you for posting your adventures. Don't know if this thread will carry on?

Thanks!  Me too.  Another go round...and will be here before I know it.  🙂

A couple of "the guys" with their harem of ladies.  Even with the balcony door closed can hear them barking in chorus.  😁   Place for lunch had...yuck...Margaritas in foam glasses.  Lots of hot sauces to choose from...awful Quesadillas, and way over priced.  😛  Interesting blooming cactus on way back.

About the same as departing...but a bit less.  Something like a total of 60 some Pinnies versus over a hundred that were on this last quarter.

@island lady

Patricia,  thanks for taking the time to start this thread and all the great pics you posted.  Good job.

Please tell Bucky I said hi.  Looking forward to you picking it back up when you get back!
