Hi everyone! I just booked this cruise a couple days ago!!! I'm trying to decide between a Palo Brunch and a Palo Dinner. Any input would be great!

Go for both!

I have to agree with Michael, bo both if you can. While it is the same restaurant, they are different experiences.


...and 'Welcome Aboard'!

I am definitely doing dinner but am going back and forth about brunch. I'm not a big breakfast person and am not a huge fan of buffets. However, I also don't want to miss out on excellent food! Oh the tough decisions of life.

In an earlier post I mentioned that my mom was considering coming with us... that was only a fleeting thought and she will only be joining us on the Kauai leg of our journey... but my close friend and her family are considering coming now! Fingers crossed as I would love to have another familiar face on board... especially a fellow foodie!

As for excursions, I was planning on booking a ton of beach/snorkeling-type adventures but coming from Hawai'i I know I will have done that for a week straight... though I am still very intrigued by Las Caletas. I really wish we didn't have such a fear of heights as zip lining would be a blast. Sooo confused! I guess what I am "sure" of (at least today) would be Las Caletas for PV and nothing on our short Cabo day (maybe just finding a good Mexican restaurant and souvenir shopping) but that longer Cabo day is still a huge question mark. I am open to ideas!

Can we still sign up for the FE roster? I've just discovered this and I want in! It's our Weddingmoon cruise, and I want to do everything. It would just be 2 more to add... Kammy and Kevin.

That sounds like an awesome idea! I think I will go ahead and do that. Thank you!

Now that we are counting down until we can book excursions, spa, Palo, etc., what are your plans for excursions?

We're definitely planning to book Las Caletas in PV!
We still need to pay off the balance of our cruise first. We plan to do that Friday. Ouch that's gonna hurt! lol

7-Night Mexican Riviera Cruise
*Nights 1, 2, 5, 7: cruise casual*
Night 3: "formal night" - formal wear for men: tuxedo or suit; for women: gown or dress*
Night 4: pirate night with deck party - cruise casual or bring your best pirate outfit!*
Night 6: "semi-formal night" - semi-formal wear for men: suit/jacket; for women: dress or pantsuit

This is the info I got from DCL regarding formal night etc., in case anyone else was wondering

Thanks for sharing Janice. I was trying to work out what was what and when to book Palo. Now I know that my first choice would be Night 5.

Welcome. Are you looking to participate in the FE too?

Kammy of course you can still sign up for the FE. I will add your names to the list. Weddingmoon woo hoo. My husband and I had ours in Jamaica 9.5 years ago. If you know your cabin number let me know that too.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

Hi everyone

I am now getting super excited about this trip.

Our on line booking window opens June 27. I need to book Palo (brunch and dinner) although I'm still undecided about which are the best days for these. I guess I'll just see what's available when I book.

I've pretty much decided on our shore excursions - PV City Tour and Coastal Highlights in Cabo.

My Daughters have school holidays the first two weeks of July so I'm going to get them to help me create some sort of fish extender. I am not at all creative so it should be a very interesting craft project. I'm sure we will have fun.

I still have so many other little things to organize pre and post cruise. I'll have to get on with it. Time is ticking

As this is our first cruise we can't book until July 12. I'm hoping there will still be spaces for us to book the Puerto Vallarta city Tour and the Cabo Coastal Highlights. As our daughter is only 4 there aren't many options to us, but as this is our first trip to Mexico we like the fact that it lets us see a little bit of everything the cities have to offer.

Apologies for all my posts today. I've been a bit out of it this week as my husband is out of town for the week and my 4 year old is missing her Daddy. Plus it doesn't help that the temperatures are soaring here. Anyway I'm now taking a look at my FE list that I'm sorting and I have a couple of questions for peeps. I have a number of you that I have various information from reading through the forum but don't know if you are doing the FE or not. Could you please let me know, and if the answer is yes could you confirm the make up of the group and your cabin numbers (if you have them), thanks.

I may have lost in and most of you may have already said yes, but please could you confirm. I'm just trying to stay on top of it with those that are already chatting here in the forum.

We're going to pass on the FE. Thanks for inviting us!

I've got your room number and you're added to the list. I don't need anything else. I'm closing the list on August 27 to give people 4 weeks to prepare their gifts. Keep watching the Boards for more information. If you don't mind me asking when on the cruise are you getting married, and do you have family/friends coming with too?

Nope, its just the 2 of us! We wanted our families to come but they insisted that would ruin our honeymoon, having our parents around. I think they are hoping for a grandchild super soon . I haven't gotten the exact time and date info yet, but so far I believe it's going to be on the 27th.

You can always let us know when you have it all confirmed and if you would like others at the ceremony we can see how many we can get together to help you celebrate what is going to be a memorable day no matter what. My husband and I just had the wedding organizer and her assistant present when we got married and it was a super special day.

We're passing on the FE, too. Thanks for checking on us!

Lostinyonkers thanks so much for letting me know.

Firetwirl you are more than welcome.

If either of you change your mind you have until August 27 when I close the books so to speak. Have a wonderful weekend.
