I have to say that, thus far, the weather on this cruise has been absolutely wonderful. The days have been in the low 80’s and the evenings/nights are very mild.
The skies this morning were just outstanding!
I wasn’t outstanding, though. Instead, I was out sitting on the promenade. 🙂
This afternoon, I went to the shops on board to look for snacks to purchase for my stateroom attendant, my two main dining room servers, and the head waiter in the main dining room. As I looked at what they had, I thought to myself, “Saturday!” Yep. Saturday is Halloween. What better thing to buy for each of them than a bag of candy?! Trick or Treat.
An hour and a half before dinner, the captain got on the intercom, apologizing for intruding on our day, and informed us that we were diverting to Cabo San Lucas, which was just 17 miles away. We’re schedule to be in Cabo on Thursday. But a medical emergency on board necessitated a diversion to Cabo in order to offload a passenger.
We got near Cabo and the ship stopped. It was met by a transport boat from the shore and the passenger was transferred to the boat. In short order, we were turning around to continue our sea day. The captain said that the little stop was not going to affect our arrival at La Paz tomorrow.
So, we glance at Cabo, already in the distance, and headed our way — to dinner.
After dinner, well, what can I say. We were met with one of the more glorious sunsets I’ve experienced in my years cruising! ♥
Tomorrow, we’re in the port of La Paz. I’m remaining on board, though. The port is not a tourist port, it’s an industrial port. La Paz is an eleven mile trip in by shuttle, bus, or cab. I don’t think that’s for me. So, instead, I will continue to explore the ship and hope to have more photos for you.
The ship’s rocking gently in the waves this evening and I think I’m just going to stay in my room and read in bed until the rocking puts me to sleep.
g’night
