It is our annual Thanksgiving Cruise. We were aware that lots of families with kids would be on this cruise. There was a group of 4 couples spending Turkey Day together. We had a great time - but this is not your usual Princess Cruise, most Princess cruises have few kids on them, but it was the holiday. We loved spending time at the Sanctuary - no kids allowed, cost $20 for half day. Two days in Capo was ideal, we spend the first day (evening) in Cabo heading to dinner at our favorite Mexican Restaurant - Pancho's, after a few margaritas felt great. Back on the ship we relaxed and the next morning headed to the beach - picked a cabana and swam in the ocean and had more margaritas. Wonderful time. We dined at Crown Grill the first night to avoid the crowds and food was great as always. The next couple of nights ate in the MDR and had great food and a few bottles of wine with our friends.

We stayed in cabin L104 - which was on deck 15 in the very front. These cabins are obstructed ocean view and we would do these cabins again in a heartbeat. We had no noise even thought the gym is right above the cabin and the front of the ship was roped off so no traffic to speak of, hubby did see one crew member doing some work on the last day in port. The cabin is larger than the normal ocean view cabin and has 2 closets which had doors (yes, doors on them) Had so much more room, only thing missing was a couch.

Went to see the Love and Marriage game, a hoot as always and went to the comedian and he was also very good. Most of our entertainment came from reading books and having martinis either at Crooners or Adeago...Our favorite bar waiter was Noah at Adeago... can't wait to see him again on our next cruise in a few weeks.
