We got a phone message in our stateroom the day of our our reservation, confirming, and reminding us that long pants for men was required. All the men had long pants when we went, so not sure just how picky they were.

Meant to add covid-19 testing tips. My family of 4 used onpoint teleservice, $15 virtual appointment per person, you provide your own test, we used the free ihealth antigen rapid tests, verification within 15 min, uploaded verification to verifly. Verifly confirmed and approved everything. Check in on cruise was a breeze if your verifly is completed.

On Baja California cruise now, first stop Puerto Vallarta. Took a cab to Hotel Melia ($5/person per trip) and tried to get a resort daypass. They turned us down (they obviously don't need any extra business), so don't waste your time there. Walked to Marriott Beach Resort, got a daypass to the beach and pool area, 1200 peso per person, included a beach towel and 400 peso credit at the restaurant/bar. Had pool chairs, umbrella, beach access and very attentive staff. Pool is awesome and beach is nice.

We had A02 (1030-1100) check-in, I believe it goes diamond/platinum, A01, A02, etc.... 2 weeks before your cruise you are able to check-in, do it at midnight the first day available to get the earliest possible check in time. The check process takes 30-45 minutes depending on how many are in your booking. We walked onto the boat as soon as we were done checking in. No wait whatsoever.

Just ate there last night, the Menu posted by cruisingguy is what we had. The oysters and filet are fantastic!!!
