Honeymoon: Part Two

This post is sponsored by Princess Cruises and SheKnows Media.

this !

Heeeeyyyyy!!!

If you missed part one of our honeymoon with Princess Cruises, click here!

We dressed up for formal night and found a deserted deck to take some photos. The setting (other than the killer breeze) was absolutely gorgeous. Nothing but miles and miles of ocean and sky with the sun setting in the distance.

We crossed the ship and paused to watch the sunset (so many sunsets!)

We then headed to one of the onboard restaurants called SHARE by Curtis Stone. Unlike the more formal dining room, SHARE was designed to look like a swanky modern restaurant. I loved the ambiance! There was a nominal cover charge to dine in SHARE as well as the other two speciality restaurants, Salty Dog Gastropub and Crown Grill, a seafood and steakhouse. We found this to be well worth it for a change of scenery and menu.

We had wine and six courses – from cheese and olives, to gnocchi to seared trout, pork tenderloin, and dessert – toffee cheesecake! I loved the creative variety, and it was lovely to have a change of scenery.

The next morning we ordered a simple room service breakfast since we had an early departure time for the day’s excursion. I had cereal and milk with fruit!

Soon we had pulled into port at Mazatlán!

We hopped off the ship and boarded vans to a resort for cooking and dancing!

I don’t think I have ever had a margarita that early in the morning before!! But when in Rome…

We made homemade ‘ritas, and then five kinds of salsa, plus guacamole!

I loved that we had choice of ingredients and style. (Obviously we left out the raw onions!) Our salsas turned out quite well!

After our class and a short salsa lesson, we hit the pool and the beach for a little R&R. Since our class had been outside, we were all sticky and sweaty and jumping in the pool felt SO refreshing!

Likewise, after we were back on Ruby Princess, we took a dip in the pool. It was still very hot in Mexico! Check out how the pool can overflow to the deck to avoid spilling onto the deck in the ocean waves!

The views when we left Mazatlán were just stunning!

And with that, we set sail for Cabo San Lucas!

    Awesome pictures, looks like you had a great time! Question about the Princess Cruises – how was the food overall? The biggest hesitation I have had in booking cruises is the worry that the food is not up to par (I’m a foodie!) Have never been on one! And I always seem to get sick when I go to Mexico. Thanks 🙂

      Overall I thought it was good, but not OMG THE BEST EVER. I think you just have to set your expectations to the fact that they are cooking for thousands of people and the kitchen is not a boutique restaurant cooking to order for a dining room of 20, at least in the bigger dining rooms. I had several dishes in the main dining rooms that were great though. We thought the smaller restaurants on board were a step above, and we went to them 3/7 nights. And I am careful not to drink the water in Mexico, although most of the touristy places and resorts use distilled or bottled water.

    Mazatlan is one of my favourite places. Which hotel offers cooking classes?
