STAR BRIGHT!
Mark and I took our FALL CRUISE to the Mexican Riviera from October 13th - October 20, 2018 on the STAR PRINCESS. It was STELLAR! What a ship!. It was completely refurbished in beautiful colors and the latest in handy electronic enhancements. Definitely, STAR BRIGHT!

Beautiful Refurbished Ship!

One of our favorite things on this cruise was being assigned a window table every night with our favorite waiter! This is unusual since these tables are always tables for four, but there must have been less groups of three or four on this particular cruise! The bad news was that I had an eye condition that forced me to avoid light. That was funny. So, in almost every photograph I am wearing sunglasses. I am pretty sure this will be a continual thing, since the condition is not a new one. I’m so glad I got NEW cute sunglasses!

There was always beautiful looking and great tasting food!
Tian of Crab, Scallop & Shrimp
Roasted Tomato Cream Soup, Salads, Pan fried Filet of Rockfish and another Norman Love's Chocolate Journeys dessert.
We visited all the major ports of the Mexican Riviera, but our favorite was Cabo San Lucas! The weather was fabulous! It always is! The new port entrance is easy to get into and a much more direct route. And now that we have ELITE status, we get to go on the tender whenever we want! No waiting! I got a white hooded jacket there that says Cabo San Lucas down the sleeve! LOVE IT!
Cabo San Lucas by Day
We also enjoyed eating at the Crown Grill! We are fortunate enough to get a free meal there included with our last few cruises and we love the BISTRO atmosphere. The food is ALWAYS fabulous and it is much darker in there than anywhere else! (But I still wore my sunglasses.)
Almond Crusted Baked Chilean Sea Bass with Breaded Prawns
Medium Rare+ Filet Mignon
Spinach & Avocado Salad
The other favorite thing we enjoyed on this cruise was dancing to THE INSIGHT QUARTET! Mark created a little highlight of our dancing to their WONDERFUL music. Katerina is the beautiful singer. They are all from Russia, but speak English. They have worked together on many ships over several years. Of course, we went there almost EVERY night after dinner.

We are so grateful for our fabulous cruises and each other!
