Cabin: Ocean Suite
I just completed my 9th cruise, five of which are the same itinerary, the 7-Day Mexican Riviera from the Long Beach port. I had never done a cruise until February 2014 and now I have completed nine with the tenth I anticipate being on the Carnival Panorama.
I drove in from Scottsdale, AZ for this trip. I actually got to the cruise terminal a bit early so I wandered over to the Queen Mary and grabbed some breakfast. I try to always purchase the Faster to the Fun package so that I can take advantage of those benefits. The most important one to me is to be able to go straight to my cabin and dump off my stuff and then go to Lido Deck for some lunch.
Embarkation was incredibly smooth. When they let us into the terminal, I honestly believe we were seated for only 45 minutes before they opened the doors to go aboard.
Cabin Review
Ocean Suite
Cabin OS
This is a fine suite. The only thing that was wrong for me was the air conditioning. It did not work. But by the time we made it to the ocean I actually didn't need any air conditioning anyway.
As an Ocean Suite, the accommodations were a little larger than the typical cabin. My bathroom had a shower/tub combination with water jets. But I am a husky boy so I really could not fit into it to take in a hot tub experience.
Port Reviews
Puerto Vallarta
I got a big sunburn in Mazatlan so I strolled across the street to the WalMart and bought sunscreen lotion. Too Late! I then hired a cab to take me around town for two hours..
Mazatlan
I did the Hop-On Hop-off bus tour.
