My DH, DD's, 2 SIL's and myself just returned from our Mexican Riviera cruise on the Sapphire Princess. DD1 did this cruise last year and really enjoyed it. She convinced the rest of us to try it this year. DD2 and our SIlL's have never cruised and it was so much fun seeing their reactions to all of the new experiences.

We had perfect weather the entire trip. The seas leaving LA were a little rough, but we all enjoyed the roll and pitch of the ship.

My DH and I renewed our wedding vows on the 16th(our 30th anniversary). Manuel helped set up all of the arrangements. He met up with us at the Wheelhouse Bar before the ceremony where he gave me my bouguet(sp) and my DH's bouteniere(sp) He then told us that the Captain would be with us shortly and explained how things would go. He was very nice and helpful. As part of the package we were supposed to have a tour of the bridge. By Thursday night we hadn't received the invitation for that. We saw Manuel at the Captain's cocktail party and we asked him about it. He said that we should have received our invitation that morning but that he would check on it right then. He came back immediately to let us know when the tour would be.

Cabin Review

We had D 733. I think that the storage in this cabin was great. My DH and I brought 3 large suitcases and 2 carry ons with us. We put the carry ons under the beds and the larger suitcases fit in the closet. There were more than enough hangers for our clothes. The closet has plenty of shelves for our folded clothes. We didn't even use all of the drawers in the bedside tables and desk.

We loved our balcony, it got plenty of sun every day and we were able to get some great sunset pictures.

I never heard any noise outside of our cabin in the hallways. There was some noise from the next cabin but nothing that we couldn't deal with.
