Manzanillo, Mexico

Hello from Manzanillo!

Ed and I have been here several times before (you can read about my 2023 visit here) so I decided to stay onboard, especially when I saw the 9:00AM temperature and the feels like temperature. 

And it’s only 9 o’clock in the morning!

So I was more than happy to take a couple photos before heading to the pool. 

The Canadian Royal Navy was docked alongside.
They’re on their way to Halifax.

I even took a picture of all the people waiting to have their bags searched. Just like in so many other Mexican ports they are not sniffing for drugs, but for fresh fruits and vegetables.

The dog is under the white tent.

We’ve seen it plenty of times on other cruises, too.

Bags of confiscated food in Cozumel, Mexico in 2018.

So instead of going off the ship I spent my entire day in the spa pool. Yesterday’s damn cold pool felt more like a darn cold pool today. And with the hot and humid weather it felt amazing. (Don’t worry Ed, I kept hydrated.)

By mid afternoon I felt like I’d had enough and went to find something for a late lunch/early dinner. Luckily the pizza place on Lido deck had the Mexican pizza again. It is so good and probably the best one I’ve had on a Princess cruise in years. Sure glad you can order it without the sour cream. 

I went down to International Cafe to grab dessert. Any guesses which overripe item I did NOT choose?

Someone needs to start making banana bread.

I hung out on the Promenade Deck for sail away.

Here comes the pilot boat.

Looks like the pelicans want to race us.

Hard to see, but the sunset is out there.

Tomorrow we’re in Puerto Vallarta and my tentative plans can go one of two ways. 

Until then…
