O.K. Ppiglet and Monstro...I'll help you out. Keeping your thread at the top.

Vacationbug-We found horseback riding with Randi's Happy horses. She'll take your daughter who's 9. My daughter is 8 and she's going with Randi. She has really good reviews on Cruisecritic.

If you want more info on excursions maybe Maztlan Frank's thread will give you some. But, he's only in Maztlan...oh, and Randi is too.

Thanks!!!

We can use all the help we can get. I've been following Mazatlan Franks's thread. There's a boatload of info there.

For anyone interested. We ate at Tony's on the Beach when we were In mazatlan a few years back. We've been thinking about a second helping.

Can't wait.... Almost to single digits.

 

[pppiglet]

Was Tony's close to where the shop docks? I would really like to try it.

 

[Monstro]

It's probably about a 15 -20 minute cab ride. It's the same area as all the nice beaches and shops are. The special for two - all kinds of shrimp lobster and stuff is great! I believe Mazatlan Frank talked about it in his thread.

 

[lkohawaii]

I need infor on P.V. and Cabo. Anyone found any good websites. I found cruisecritic.

Ikohawaii - which cruise are you on?

 

[pppiglet]

We're getting closer!!!! Hoping some new people would join in here. DCL website still has lots of space left for this cruise.

 

[Monstro]

Stinasmom,

What do you know about Cabo? Do you have any insights on the excursions?

Have you ever been to Los Arcos.... or the end of the peninsula?

 

[pppiglet]

Monstro.... I don't know anything about Cabo, but we will be doing the Harbor cruise and Scenic Drive. (if it's not filled when I go to book it!) Since Cabo is an early leave port, we will just do the drop off for shopping after. Maybe Cabo Wabo for lunch. Wish we had more time there.

 

[Monstro]

I wish we had more time in Cabo as well. We've looked over the excursions and can't decide yet. The Land's End Costal Cruise is apealing to me. DW likes the Harbor Cruise and Scenic Drive. No one else in our sailing party has said anything.

Still looking for more cruisers.....

 

[pppiglet]

Almost time to start shopping for those last minute clothes and packing! Anyone else going yet?

 

[pppiglet]

Any newcomers to the board yet on this cruise?

 

[lkohawaii]

No timer....and I know how much you were looking forward to those double digits.

Maybe you'll be sailing on an empty ship....you'll have the pools, the spa, and oh Palo's all to yourself.

Just trying to help you keep this at the top.

 

[pppiglet]

Yeah...I practiced that "double digit dance" for nothing!

 

[Monstro]

Hey pppiglet,

How are you? Is it drying out over there? We had a soccer tournament in Phoenix last weekend. It was rained out.

Who's in your sailing party?

Maybe we need to start organizing some fun activities... have you seen all the activities the repo cruisers are doing?

 

[pppiglet]

Yes.. finally drying out! I also was reading what the repo cruisers were doing. Kinda neat, but for a first timer like us, we will be plenty busy checking out things on the ship! Most of those people have sailed many times before, so I think they will have lots of fun on their cruise.

Doesn't look like too many on our cruise from here. I have one (stinasmom) that I will probably meet up in the fitness room with.

It will be me (44) DH (44) and DS (21). Cruise critic board for Mexican riviera helped me out alot in planning for what to do in the afternoons after our excursions in the morning. Lot of good reading over there.

Have fun!

Debbie

 

[pppiglet]

bump!!!!

 

[pppiglet]

Thread was starting to get lost. Any newcomers to this cruise? I just can't believe the small amount of Diser's going on this cruise. I guess everyone else has kids still in school.

 

[Dawnee]

Okay, I'll come out of the woodworks! Actually, this is the first time I've been able to find the 6/11 thread, even did searches and everything.

Cruisin' with lkohawaii and I can't wait!

 

[tikihut4]

Hey we are going too!........me, DW, DD (10) and DS (14)- hope I got those abbreviations right. Anyways, this will be our third Disney cruise and we are really looking forward to it. Its especially nice that we can drive to the boat as opposed to flying across the country. We have never been to Mazatlan nor Puerto Vallarta (and its been 15 years since I've been to Cabo) so if anyone has any recommendations for those ports let us know. We typically set off on our own and skip the excursions unless there is something we just shouldn't miss. Monstro, it looks like you have spent some time down there, let us know. Adios amigos..........
