We are in Encelada on the US/Mexican border. It is a typical cruiser town. It has one long street which is arty and designer and then behind that sprawls the rest of the town, run down and dusty. It could easily be a setting for a Clint Eastwood movie.
The second week of the cruise has been better. The sea has been calmer and we have had a few days when we could get some sun on deck.
Princess seem to have upped their game too. The entertainment has been better and the food has improved. A cynic might say this is so we remember it as a positive experience but people on the ship who have done the trip several times have said how bad it has been.
It seems the rough weather going out may have been the edge of the cyclone which hit the South Pacific today, just suffice to say the ship could not cope with an aged passenger population who were unable to get on deck, and in many cases out of their cabin.
If you are under 70 this cruise is not for you. If you want to see Hawaii then fly there and take a week to do some island hopping.
The Captain did not see to be concerned we had not had a cruise of the quality expected, it seemed to be all about them, not about us, the customers.
Look out TripAdvisor there's another storm brewing!
