Emerald Princess Cruise: Day 7

Huatulco baby. Beautiful city. We chose the Land and Sea excursion. We met in the showroom for 10:30 a.m. Best part of the excursion was getting to start a little later. They marched us off the ship in a line to a catamaran. Once on the boat we all had to put on life jackets because the Harbor Master required it.

We had a beautiful ride through several of the bays off the coast. We had a non-advertised bonus. We got to see a whale! Actually two whales it was a mama and her baby. Our guide said she was teaching the baby how to jump out of the water.

We got to see some beautiful shorelines. Some deserted beaches. The water was pretty rough close to the rocks. We got to see a few blow holes where the water spurted up. We also got to see an amazing feature in one of the rocks that looks like a face.

After the catamaran they took us all to a restroom where there was a hole in the ground. I declined that option. Next was a bus tour. For as much as I loved the water part I disliked the bus part. They only took us to an overlooking cliff, and a church. The church was a three block walk there and back that we opted to stay on the bus for that part. Most of the people when they got back into the bus were complaining about the walk.  Back on the ship we watched the pilot pull away.

All in all it was a great day. Wish you were here!!

Emerald Princess Cruise: Day 6

Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink…. But there was plenty of other yummy stuff to drink. Today was a sea day. We spent the day in the swimming pool. It. Was. Hot. But the pool was the perfect temperature. After the pool we got dressed for dinner. Our favorite waiter Gus brought us cupcakes drinks and boy were they yummy.

After dinner we went to the comedy show. Lenny was very funny. My favorite part was when he talked about the “front of the ship show” on one of the many cable channels with a princess theme. He did mention that it’s not very good at night. Lol, we personally love to watch the bridge channel.

We ended the night at the Rock Opera show. They started with my favorite song “This is the Greatest Show” and ended with “This is Me” with ASL intertwined with the choreography. The entire show lasted about 45 minutes and was very entertained with great costumes. Tomorrow is Huatulco, Mexico. I can’t wait to show you all about that city. We are doing the See and Sea tour.

Emerald Princess Cruise: Day 5

Well boy was I wrong when I thought my cruise couldn’t get any better after whale watching!! Experiencing the total solar eclipse, on the ocean along side another Princess ship, next to a couple thousand new grammas was next level!

Every 20 minutes as we were watching the sun and moon nearing totality, there was a ship navigator giving us the history and science behind the total eclipse. Super interesting information. My friend Becky had her full nerd on 🤣.  Meanwhile I was busy either getting a look of horror, a raised eyebrow (you know the one), a thumbs up, a giggle or a request to take a picture with me.  I was literally a dress up party for 1. But I’d do it all again.

After the eclipse (and a nap), we explored a new super cute lounge. Then we spiffied up, had a yummy dinner with our favorite waiter, had some drinks and listen to some music and then saw a night with Adele. Such a full day!!! Only 10 more to go!!

Wish you were here!!

Emerald Princess Cruise: Day 4

OMG best day ever. (So far) Cabo day. We went whale watching. The entire excursion was super easy. We first met in the theater then they marched us down a few levels and onto a rescue boat for a tender. Once on the dock they put us in a line had a sign a waiver and then March us in a line just a few minutes to a beautiful catamaran. The catamaran had a few levels of seats. We got to see the arch of Cabo San Lucas and then we went on a search for whales. Took us a while to find them we got to see some sea turtles and a few dolphins. All the while we got a really cool bento box and all the drinks you wanted. The margaritas were very yummy and the staff was super awesome. Finally after about an hour of searching we were able to find the whales. The captain was super patient and looked everywhere and when we finally found them, he went on a chase to follow them. The guide put a listening device in the water so that we can hear the whales communicate with each other under. It was very exciting and I highly recommend whale watching in Cabo. We ended the night with a very yummy dinner in the dining room with our favorite waiter.

Wish you were here!

Emerald Princess Cruise: Day 3

It was a sea day baby 😁… Explored met lots nice people and dressed up fancy. During the day we relaxed and had lunch in the main dining room. Then for dinner we went back to the same waiter we had last night cuz we really liked him and then we listen to some music and a really cute lounge then we went to an amazing show. Tomorrow is whale watching in Cabo I hope to get lots of great pictures. But for now here’s some fancy night pictures.
