There are deck chairs to be had at 11:15am on a sunny sea day. #hogfree Full deck chair count coming later. Not kidding. Check out the retreat pool and deck 18 above the retreat pool too.

I’m not sure, but they did offer to return my umbrella to the Dallas Omni Hotel. Very honorable. ☂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare New2cruise2022 Posted February 25 Author #180 Share Posted February 25 Lunch in the MDR The rolls are still fire. 🔥 Crunchy and crispy crust. And butter is VERY spreadable. That is all. My tastebuds are happy. My waistline’s furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also looking for a more spacious and glass enclosed shower. I didn’t have as much luck as @New2cruise2022 . First, I couldn’t find the shower gel and shampoo everyone promised. Second, while I don’t love it to be steamy, mine was far too drafty. Lastly, mine ended abruptly when I was invited to return to my stateroom. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenbeanie Posted February 26 #186 Share Posted February 26 Could you check out the depth of the two main pools? I've heard they are solar heated, but I'm not sure exactly what that means - heated by the sun alone, so not really heated, or the heaters are solar powered. We head up to San Francisco on April 20, and hope for a good pool depth to do water aerobics, and warm enough water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare New2cruise2022 Posted February 26 Author #188 Share Posted February 26 It’s Day 3 and we will be in Cabo in a few hours. Weather continues to be incredible. Sunny and warm. I would bet there are more than a few lobster-looking passengers by tomorrow morning. 🦞☀️ It is just before 7 AM and nearly 70 F. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First cruise excitement is the best. You’re very kind, but we’re probably only funny because of the drink package. We’d be funnier if you were also imbibing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 26 #194 Share Posted February 26 Loved the juice on Grand Princess. Most mornings I had the Immune Booster and The Cleanser. Typical for Princess idiocy they also have one just called The Booster. Both my wife and I absolutely hated it. I never tried the last two as they are blender drinks rather than juice. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed it when I had it Crown Grill but I love bourbon, so the peach tea portion is maybe wasted on me. In Tennessee I have access to great peach tea and great bourbon. I typically keep them separate, one at work during lunch and one at home in the evening. My wife makes great peach tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched as they ran the fresh ingredients through it and directly into the glass. It was only available at the aft bar outside the rear entrance to the buffet. Being on the ship for 63 days the bartenders got to know me well...😁 Edited February 26 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We checked this out on our morning deck walk. the main pools are the same depth at each. The temperature in the forward pool was probably 85F, the aft main pool was probably 80F. They were deeper at one end but had the same depth across both of these main pools. We also stopped in the retreat (adults only) pool and thought I was pushing 90F. It was very warm. It is more shallow though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOLEYMOM Posted February 26 #198 Share Posted February 26 Enjoying your cruise report. Since we live close to this port this is our go to cruise whenever we want to get away. Not sure if you have plans in Mazatlan, but best thing to do if you want to eat and drink is to walk over to the little ferry area and take a small boat to Stone Island. Cost a few bucks, hang on to your ticket for the trip back. We then walk or take a little truck/taxi, to our favorite beach restaurant, El Velero. Chewie is the owner. Will set you up with chairs overlooking the water. Great food and drinks! And if the little cart comes by selling donuts, they are delicious! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well branch out and try the Remy Martin XO congac on the rocks for your after dinner drink at the main dinning room. You don't get to have that every day. I felt like a big shot drinking it, until I remembered I have to go back to my job at the factory after the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
