Back from the Spirit October 21st Sailing.

We got through on the I-15 right before the fires broke out in San Diego. By the time the ship left port, the whole city was enveloped in a smokey haze. I will have pictures soon.

Embarkation wasn't too smooth with 3 ships in port at once. Organized Chaos is what I would call the parking situation and the whole embarkation process. We were one of the lucky ones since we had VIP boarding, too. When we went through the entrance of the terminal, we were handed an Itinerary change because of tropical storm Kiko. They took Manzanillo off our Iten. and instead, were taking us to Ensenada the very next day (I assume so we could wait out Kiko moving more west), then two sea days, then Acapulco on Thursday, then Zihua/Ixtapa on Friday. I was okay with this as I was glad we weren't going to be circling the waters of So. Cali for 8 days.

Then, early morning the next day, we awake to some rockin and rolling in rough seas. Shortly after this, there is announcement that the port of Ensenada is closed because of the Santa Ana winds causing rough seas. We won't be able to stop there. The good news was that Kiko had moved west quicker than they thought, so we were going to hit Manzanillo on Wednesday, Acapulco on Thursday and Zihua/Ixtapa on Friday. We got the ports back, but they were just switched around a little.

We had smooth sailing the rest of the way and a great cruise~! Greg and I were in the Legends show and had a blast! He was Elvis and I was Aretha Franklin. I also got a ship on a stick for the battle of the sexes! YAY! hehe. All in all, with the exception of the very first part of the cruise, we had a really good time.

Highlights for us

The Cliff divers in Acapulco at night. We got to see them with the added effect of a lightning storm. Pretty spectacular. We got lucky it didn't rain on us during the cliff diving...just lightning.

Zihuatanejo was beautiful and dollar coronas...ice cold!

Dinners in the dining room with our Fantastic servers...Sylvester, U Pe and Renata!

Breakfast in our suite every morning...love that wrap-around balcony!

Winning 500 bucks playing blackjack in the Casino.

Having a party in our suite after meeting some GREAT people!

Dolphins and their Babies as we left Zihuatanejo!

Karaoke with all the friends we met and a great karaoke hostess, Liz! Also Armando..the best cocktail server in club cool! :cool2:

The Legends Rehearsal and Show!

Probably a lot more highlights that I am just overlooking right now.

It was a 25th wedding anniversary to remember! :biggrin:
