I'm still sad that we missed the beach club in April 2020 due to.. well you know. We debated about booking the beach club because we thought the $40 per person was a bit steep, but decided to go ahead since we were scheduled to be there on my birthday. Now we can only dream about a price like that.

My daughter and I went on a cruise on the Navigator in April for my birthday this past April. My daughter was all excited about an excursion she saw for Puerto Vallarta. It involved horseback riding (as well as tequila tasing lol). After I looked at the excursion I had to tell her that she needed to do this excursion by herself because I was not able to do it. She wanted to know why and when I told her I was too old (by one year), she was really upset. She knows that I go on horseback rides several times a year. We ended up choosing a different excursion. She didn't want to leave her mom behind. She was more upset than I was😀

I have one of these shirts hanging in my closet. Mine has a whole bunch of signatures on the back from staff members including the captain's.

We had the same waiter / assistant (Meckinson and Clive) on our April 28 seven night cruise and I agree they were wonderful, including greeting us by name after the first night. In Mazatlan we did a non ship excursion and actually enjoyed that. We were driven out into the countryside to some of the villages out there and got see some of the arts and crafts, like making tiles, adobe bricks for building houses and stopped at a bakery where we bought some yummy pastry fresh out of the wood oven for dirt cheap. We did spend a little bit of time driving through the city and ate at a beach front restaurant. There were only four of us on this excursion, another mother /daughter duo. I was surprised they didn't cancel the tour. In Puerto Vallarta we did a ship's tour. My daughter had wanted to do the horseback riding tour you guys did. Unfortunately for her, I was over the age limit:( We were very disappointed in the first part of the excursion (too much selling). Also there were too many people. Two buses full and what really irked us, the mixed Royal and Carnival passengers on this tour. It improved with a lunch at a beachside restaurant and got better with a tequila tasting and a show depicting some of the history. The show was actually pretty good. Sorry I kind of hijacked your review.
