Default 2011 Cruise

Well Linda you may be in luck!!! I am looking at the Legend (which I have group space for 9/4/11) and the Spirit for around the same time. The downer is that the Spirit only goes out to April 2011. I really want that itinerary as it goes to Acapulco, Ixtapa, & Manzanillo. We did the 9 day cruise in '08 which included Puerta Vallarta which we just loved. So let me know what you think so we can get another one going for 2011!!!! Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions. I also looked at the Dream for St. Thomas, St. Maartan, & the Bahamas but it was almost 200.00 dollars than the Legend. Also the Valor has the same itinerary as the Legend but leaves out of Miami instead of Tampa. Just give me your feedback as I want Marietta to get the group blocked out ASAP as the prices are still really good!! Hope you can go!!!

Hi there Kelly! Wow, you've been busy researching!

I have been on the 8 day Spirit and it was a nice cruise. We had an awesome beach day in Ixtapa.....or Zuhuatanejo....I can't remember which. Acapulco was really cool. And we found a beach in Manzanillo, too.

I haven't been on a cruise out of Florida since my very first one on the Zuiderdam in 2002. I usually don't even look at those because of the long expensive flight over there. I did have one booked on the Valor a little over a year ago, but I had to cancel because of work issues (like I didn't know if my employer was shutting down or what!)


Keep me informed on what you end up planning. I'd like to sail with you guys again!

Hey everyone, I'm ready for spring and warm weather. I can't believe how much colder than usual it has been this year in Texas. I had a cruise booked for next week on the Voyager but canceled, now I wish I was going......

......Come on Splendor......

I have it down to the Valor on the 18th or 25 of Sept. 2011 and I am getting pricing on the Liberty on the 17th. The Liberty has one of the same itineraries as the Valor. Just seeing the best price available!! We would love to have you and anyone who wants to go!!!

Snooze, I agree with you. I am so ready for Spring and warmer weather. The good news Mexico will be Hot Hot Hot! to borrow a phrase. August will be here in no time. Mike

Feeling HOT HOT HOT sure sounds good--and having a few drinks beachside somewhere sounds even better
I was watching a show last night and it was featuring the best restorts in Mexico---and wouldn't you know PV and Cabo had several of the top 5--
might just have to check them out when were there -----

Cheers all---its raining out here in San Jose---but no worries---
Take care and hurry up August

April

Hello April, raining here today as well, not heavy but steady all morning. I don't think we will enjoy any spring weather for a while yet. I do like your idea of another beach outing with the group. The last one was great, I actual went in the water. We have been to Mexico, but never to the beach. Mostly shopping and lunch. We did see the cliff diving in Acapulco many years ago. Take care, Mike

Hmmmm.......I've always wanted to see Catalina.

I just got back from a mini-vacation to Trinidad on the coast. It was great! I had a cool room with a window seat overlooking the bay and woke up to a really sunny day today. Went wine tasting, dancing at a casino, hiking, walking on the beach, and visited with my brother's family. That should hold me for a couple more weeks.

It was supposed to be rainy here at home, but it was sunny. You guys must live in the wrong part of CA.

hhhmmmmm There's a whole lot of hmmmmmming going on here!

So Scurvy you're in! You might as well admit to your addiction. You know that we are here to offer all the emotional support that you may need, even if it takes a case of white zinfandel, a night on the QM and a rehab cruise to Catalina!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm................ Sounds like someone has been doing their tequila/Baja homework. About ready to get yourself booked, Scurvy??

I stole this link from Katlady on another thread. We're in PV for a really long day, and this looks like something to look into. She said the boat ride is about an hour.

No homework needed.
All of my research on Hussongs was live and in color.

Verified originator of the margarita ????? in Ensenada ????

Gosh I thought it originally came from somewhere in Alcapulco--spelled wrong ?--I think or there about ????

Oh well I'm still on the quest for the perfect margarita so I'm sure I'll have to check this out too----

I have been on the tequilia tour in PV---nothing to write home about IMHO----but the sampling was nice-------

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hussong's is almost enough to get me to do the Paradise as well. Guess I better get a cabin.
