One more cruise report

As promised our final cruise report. If you haven't guessed by now, we loved our cruise and think it is one of the best ways and best values for travelling. You are pampered from the time you step on board. Your safety and comfort are both a top priority with the crew and who can complain about being pampered 24 hours a day. Take a cruise and let me know what you think.
Now for a few final shots...........
Would you like to relax around this pool? It was a great spot to enjoy our lunch and watch the kids enjoy the water. (That's kids of all ages)

 Did I tell you how good the food was? Unlimited variety, quantity, and quality. No wonder my clothes shrank................. (You didn't think I would put on weight did you?)

 OK, after such delicious food, it was time to walk the deck.

Here we are in Cabo San Lucas with our cruise ship behind us. We had the beach to ourselves.

 Marilyn and Al joined us for a little shop and shore exploration.

 Now there's a lucky fisherman. It almost looks like he wants to kiss it, he is so happy.

 Unfortunately we did have to get back and head for home. Maybe next year we can do this again?

Tomorrow............. back in Quartzsite.

Mexican Cruise

Although it's great to be back in Quartzsite among friends we both look back at the wonderful cruise we enjoyed last week. I'm sure you would like to see a few more pictures and if you are ever thinking of taking a cruise yourself I don't think you will be disappointed with "Holland America" cruise line.
Entering Porta Vallarta.

 The photographer did his best to sell you pictures.

 Time to get off the Oosterdam and go for a walk.

 We watched the crew go through their lifeboat drill. Fortunately we didn't have to participate.

 Another cruise ship leaves the harbour ahead of us.

 Next morning we sailed into Mazatlan harbour.

 Guess who got here first? We seemed to play tag with this ship all week.

Tomorrow, our last cruise report; but I thought I would leave you with this shot taken outside our trailer in Quartzsite yesterday. What a wonderful way to finish off a perfect day. See you tomorrow...........

We're Back

We're back; back from our Mexican cruise, back in Quartzsite, back in our trailer and back with friends. We had a wonderful cruise, I would highly recommend "Holland America" but it felt good to get "home" to our trailer. The week on the ocean, pampered it everything we did simply flew by in a blink. The crew made us feel like royalty, the food was delicious, varied and appealing, the evening performers were energetic and professional and the weather was perfect, sunny and warmer the further south we sailed. We had such a great time we plan on a cruise whenever we can get away. Here are a few pictures and I'll write more tomorrow:
Our ship the Oosterdam, 2,300 passengers, but we never felt crowded.

 We got a state room with a balcony, loved it.

 View from our balcony out across the Pacific Ocean.

 Three times around the deck = 1 mile. We tried to walk 3 miles a day. You can tell how successful we were when we get back to Toronto. Please be kind........ you know those buffets shrink clothes.

 No......... we didn't live on salads, but we did try and eat greens every day.

More pictures tomorrow.
