Our cruise began at the Oakland, CA airport where we were one of 19 people traveling on a Southwest plane to San Diego!!!!

We tendered into Cabo to get a photo of the ship and then went right back to spend the day on the Oosterdam. In Puerto Vallarta, we took a cab to the beach front to finally see the sand sculptures. We had a really fun afternoon.

We were in Manzanillo for Howie's 65th birthday. It was the most fabulous day of the cruise!!! We awoke to a gorgeous sunrise, had breakfast on the balcony, went into town and enjoyed the people and the shops. We spent the afternoon on our balcony watching humpback whales playing in the bay.

The day ended with a glorious sunset. We had two days at sea due to the change in itinerary. It was a most relaxing seven days.
