Monday January 26, 2015 Ensenada, Mexico



We both had a restless night and it was late morning before we got up.  My first order of business was to get the correct luggage tags for our bags.  Yesterday we got tags and disembarkation instructions that put us in a group that would get us to the airport too late for our flight.  I also needed to get my  room key reprogrammed, it had stopped working last night.

Back at the room I ordered coffee and melon bowls.  We both seemed to feel better.  I may have dodged the cold getting worse for me and Gerri’s stomach situation was better.

In the afternoon we went to a show put on by passengers.  










It was two parts; a group of ladies that learned to hula and a group that played the ukulele. 








Some of the ukulele players had never played before taking lessons and practicing on this cruise.  The ladies did the hula to three songs and the ukulele players did three songs and then all did a grand finale performance of Aloha Oe.

We arrived at the dock in Ensenada at 4 after a long slow approach though the bay.  We went on deck and found it was a cool day and the port area was quite away from the town.  I checked on caches and the closest was a half mile away in a straight line across the bay.  It would have been further to walk around.  We decided not to go ashore.

We went to the Vista Theater but were too late for the trivia session.  We did have hors d’ouvres on the Sky Deck before going back to the Vista Theater for a show by Steve Moris.  He had performed with the Beach Boys for several years.

We went to the Capri Dining Room for dinner.  We sat at a table for ten.  There was one of the couples we had sat with at other dinners.  After dinner we went to the Princess Theater to see a singer named Lavina P. Fox. She sang some show tunes, some Motown and songs done by the late Whitney Houston.

It was late by the time the show was over.  It was pretty much straight to bed when we got back to our room.


Tomorrow is our last day at sea before arriving in San Francisco.
