We had a great CC meeting in our suite- great bunch of people. Beautiful weather, only 1700 on the ship, 700 of whom are from mexico City!

If you have any questions, I'll be checking back but the internet service on here is really poor. They would be best to say they have none, as it is making most users angry when they can't connect! It took me 17 minutes to get onto this site, but we have free sevice as a perk. I certainly wouldn't pay for this!

I'll give a review and answer questions when we get back!
Adios...

Hope you are having a blast....Unfortunately, that seems to be the norm with internet connections while out at sea...At least its free...

Hi Karen! We watched enviously from shore as you boarded! How is my ship, the "magnificent Dawn Princess" doing? We had a great cruise bringing her to you and hated to leave! Are you doing traditional or PC dining? We loved Agnes in traditional. We were without Internet access totally one day and it varied from moderate to slow the rest of the time. Oh well. Hope you enjoyed Zihuatenejo! Where do you go next? I got a call from my substitute tonight who told me that she would have stayed an extra week for me! Next time...... Enjoy!!

Hi Sue-
We had a fabulous time and met lots of great people. I think Z may have been my favorite stop, but I will go on this itinerary to any of these ports again if it is available.
We did talk to alot of people who were on since San Juan who loved the Panama Canal- some were continuing onto Alaska. Wow- one couple has been on three back to backs and were up to 27 days! I can't wait to retire.

once I get my head together I'll be writing a review and posting some pictures.

Hi Karen!
Did you think we would every get off the ship?
We made it finally, then our plane was delayed in LAX until 3:30, so we missed connection in Chicago and had to take a bus to Milwaukee. Didn't arrive until midnight.

Was great meeting you and Randy. Look forward to seeing your pictures.

That had to be the most frustrating disembarkation ever! I can't blame it on Princess, though- I think our fellow passengers were making it difficult for everyone. We made it to our flight with 7 minutes to spare! I wasn't worried about catching another flight out of LA, it's those darn connections we have to take. We were delayed out of Houston so we didn't get to Milwaukee until 10:30 and then had the drive home.
Oh well, just a small frustration on an otherwise great trip! Is Joan going to post any of her 1,000 pictures? We have some good ones, just not as many.
