Cruise Summary

Well we didn't have access to wi-fi for the last week so we'll just have to give you a summary now.  

We had a wonderful cruise week. Sailing out of Los Angeles last Sunday was a little cool by California standards but was great for us.  (especially since we heard about the blizzard in Regina). We quickly made ourselves at home in our stateroom where there was plenty of drawer/closet space,a queen bed, bunk beds and a large beautiful porthole to view the ocean.  The ship was easy to get around in and we enjoyed the variety of dining rooms, sitting areas, outside decks and swimming pools.  During our days at sea we were entertained by movies, animation drawing classes, great Disney theater productions, a ventriloquism show and spending time on deck. 

The meals were a great chance to try a variety of foods and each evening supper came with a different theme. We especially enjoyed the pirates theme night and lobster at the Captains dinner.  Our servers and stateroom host were wonderful and took great care of us all week.

We had stops in Puerto Vallarta and two days in Cabo San Lucas.   These days were wonderful. The temperature was in mid to high twenties, the beaches were incredible and the markets were very interesting. However, we tired quickly of the merchants constantly badgering us for a sale, trying to convince us that their products were 'Almost Free Mexican junk'. 

Another highlight of the cruise was seeing a variety of sea life off the deck of the ship. We saw dolphins,  whales, other large fish jumping, sea lions and Kelly and Matt saw a ray flip out of the water. 

A few of the night sailings were a bit rough, but none of us got sick and in general the light rolling of the ship was like being in a hammock. 

Every morning it was a pleasure to wake up and see the ocean.  The week went by quickly and we are grateful to God for this time of fun for our family.
