I thought it worked well on the Koningsdam over Thanksgiving. My only gripe was I didn't realize I couldn't download podcasts on the Surf package--didn't realize that was considered streaming. So I did that when in port.
Getting picked up by Lyft on Saturday Nov. 25 after my cruise ended was a nightmare. I kept getting assigned new drivers, and no one showed. Had to take a cab for twice the price. Park and shuttle if you can.
I'll be on the ship in 2 weeks. Unfortunately to hear about the smoking inside--you'd think they could spring for better ventilation around the shops.
So you can get slices of pizza, not just whole ones? That's good to know.
I assume that on the Thanksgiving cruise, where the last port is Ensenada before we return to San Diego, there isn't any of this immigration hassle until we actually disembark? Or at least anything would be on the ship itself.
I'd start with a white wine. A Pinot Grigio maybe?
Chicken and Chorizo soup
Seafood Deviled Eggs
Salmon
Mexican chocolate tart, though I do like red velvet
