We've sailed all the Radiance class ships. Most recently Jewel.  Sailed  Radiance in 2020 just before the world shut down and can't remember if the rear of Windjammer is outside as it is on Jewel.  The deck plans aren't clear.  Really enjoyed lunch out there (breakfast also weather permitting).  Can someone confirm whether the outdoor area is still there.   Thanks. 

Same here but way back in 2014!  There was a Mexican venue on deck 11 then, had some of the best tortilla soup I ever ate there....several times!  And that's saying a lot from a Texan!  Looks like they made it into a Dog House since then.  They really had pretty good food.😥

Delay with ship's clearance so we wait in the theater. 

[twangster]

I noticed some ambulances on the pier earlier so someone may not be having a good day.

The Entering the Pacific Ceremony

 

King Neptune, a.k.a. Vernon our LA, held court over the scoundrels who tried to slip into the Pacific and for crimes on board. 

That is so cool...here is a real Naval ceremony on my Dad's submarine the Basuga "Crossing the international date line in the Pacific 1947" : Neptune and Queen LOL

There is a post on the FB page from someone asking about Mexico hospitals

First stop after the canal.  Captain said he would be getting her painted quickly.

 

[twangster]

Short walk to the harbor. 

 

 

 

 

 

Can't really see my screen and I have a waterproof case on today. 

 

[twangster]

Kind of guessing what I'm posting.  It's bright!

Beautiful area.  38 cruise ship visits this year, mostly other lines.

In theater waiting for my excursion.  They just announced Mexico has implemented a smoking ban in public.  Smokers must seek designated smoking areas. 

I've seen this elsewhere for months, it's not new. Hope you arent a smoker. Some said it's not being enforced on cruisers. 

[twangster]

Now we're talking...

 

 

 

[twangster]

Round two.   Margaritas!

The Entering the Pacific Ceremony

 

We had a similar ceremony when crossing the equator on our Ovation Transpacific to Sidney. Much fun.

 

[twangster]

NCL Sun expected in port at 1pm.  Thete are 2 days of the year with 2 ships in port. 

 

 

 

 

The start of a National Park.

hThe Radiance and the Serenade in Huatulco back in 2009

[twangster]

Into the National Park I lost cell signal.

 

 

We entered our 5th Bay and had an opportunity for a beach break. 

 

 

 

 

[twangster]

The water was 84F and felt great. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sand is rough grit sand paper but it was to get a complimentary foot exfoliation on the tour. 

 

[twangster]

After 20-25 minutes it was back to Tequila (name of boat) for some tequila.

 

 

 

On top of the open bar they had some fruit available. 

 

 

 

[twangster]

The sail back along the coast was very pleasant.
