Whew
March 12th, 2010Home and glad of it!
I’ll get a more extensive post tomorrow or Sunday, but first impressions are on a scale from 1 to 10, the two of us had about a 5’s worth of fun. I had probably a 7. If I’d been with Mom & Aunt V, probably an 8 or so. Almost everything on the ship was massively commercial, which was a turn off; the food was good but not great; Mazatlan was neat and had awesome food; whale watching tours are a waste of money unless you are in a small, fast boat; sea lions are hugely cute; met a very nice couple from Cincinnati, in fact everyone was pretty nice on board and the Mexican people were extremely nice overall.
View from deck 9 or 10 down into the Centrum
I’d recommend at least one cruise if you haven’t done it, but shop around for good prices and get a bargain. Be prepared to spend a good chunk of change if you drink (or look around for a cruise line that lets you bring your own booze). If you have low resistance to a hard sell, don’t cruise – at least not on Royal Caribbean. If you cruise to Mexico, learn the words “no gracias.” :)
Pictures tomorrow or Sunday once I resize them down or get them into a slideshow (if we can get the hard drive info recovered from the crashed laptop…). Got some movies, but not many and they are pretty bouncy since the ocean was pretty rough that day.
(Oh, and runaway Prius dude? Runaway at 83 mph and he’s freaked out?? *cough* pussy *cough*)
