cherole Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hello, I can chime in a little bit as well, just back from Summit PC. Enjoyed meeting Joey and David and their friends. so whats tours did you guys do?? (1) Aruba: We did snorkeling/sail. The sailing was fun, but the snorkeling not so good. Wind stirred up the sand and visibility was not great. Also the equipment they give you on those things is inferior with no defogger. I didn't stay in the water too long. Nevertheless, saw some interesting coral and fish. They provided a BBQ lunch for us at an outdoor waterfront casual place. It was fine. Not a lot of time for hanging on beach. did you see the cliff divers?? tour or taxi ??? Acapulco: I also avoid taxis as my prior experience has been that it's easy to get a cab out to some place or another, but much harder to get one back to the ship. We did an Acapulco Bay cruise which included the cliff divers. I found it to be quite the racket! The cliff divers go on cue and then they swim out to the boat and walk around looking for gratuities. At any rate, it was interesting and the bay cruise (AKA the real estate tour as to who owns which cliffside home) was interesting. The tour guide was funny and interesting. And the food they provided was good - especially the guacamole. I do not recommend setting off on foot from the ship. You have to walk a long distance to get someplace you would feel comfortable. which port did you enjoy... Huatulco was very nice and quaint. We had booked golf which was really, really good. However, I regretted also that I had no time to do beach and shopping there. was it cheaper to take taxi's Same answer as Joey, no taxi unless I know I can get one back! did you do any rain forest tours In Costa Rica we did Manuel Antonio Park. I DO NOT recommend this one. It was too much bus time for quality time at place. We only had time for either beach or nature walk, not both. On the upside, we did see monkeys! The lunch was a "bait & switch" on Celebrity's part and everyone on the bus complained. We got a partial refund. Nevertheless, the lunch they did provide was yummy. And, I have to say that the tour guides were excellent! so you guys enjoyed the beaches in the ports We didn't have hardly any beach time with other activites, unfortunately. Cabo San Lucas: We just walked and did our own thing. I refer to it as the United State of Cabo. Of notable interest, we had lunch at Cabo Wabo and the Carmarones (Shrimp) Sammy was excellent! As were the Vampiros. They are open face beef tacos. They are appetizers but it was ample food. The Canal day was exhausting, but of course the reason for going. You get up at 5:00 a.m to start watching everything and pretty much do that for 9 hours. Let me know if anymore questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherole Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 We took an Acapulco Bay Cruise to see the cliff divers. It was good, although I think I mentioned in my prior post about what a "show" it is. I don't know how to put my pictures on a website to link for you. I have them on Kodakgallery.com. Let me know if you want me to email you the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherole Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 OK, I'll be happy to, but I need your actual email address as I have to do it from the site. You can email it directly to me at cheinla######. I don't know of an easier way to do this. I'm not that technical. -Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
