Sapphire Princess Day 33

Sapphire Princess Day 33

by Safarigal | Apr 6, 2024 | Incas, penguins, llamas, and even an eclipse

Los Angeles April 5th, 2024 Well, it was raining as we arrived in San Pedro. And it was jolly cold. I can’t wait to get down south again. There was the Emerald Princess not too far away. We said goodbye to our cabin, and as if it was sad to see us go, the toilet...

At Sea April 4th, 2024 Packing day. Luckily this didn’t take too long. It is so much easier to pack at the end of a cruise than it is to pack for the start of a cruise. Although this is fun – we are packing for the end and the start of the next cruise. It has become...

At sea April 3rd, 2024 On opening my email this morning, there was the email that we had been expecting, but hoping would not come. Our November Seabourn Around Africa cruise has been re-routed. At least it hasn’t been canceled, but many of the ports that we had...

Cabo San Lucas April 2nd, 2024 We were lucky that we were anchored with a good view of the beautiful Cabo rocks. As well as using the ship’s tenders, there were water shuttles taking passengers ashore, so getting off the ship to join our tour was easy. Right as we...

Puerto Vallarta April 1st, 2024 When I checked Facebook first thing this morning, there was a post from the Emerald Princess group showing that the Panama Canal was going to be closed, and we would not be able to transit the canal. Our new itinerary would be posted as...

March 4th, 2024 Buenos Aires Today is the day that we board the Sapphire Princess. After uneventful, but delayed flights to Buenos Aires we arrived here on a bright and sunny Monday morning. Immigration was quick and efficient, they must be used to cruise passengers...

Well, it has been over a month since we disembarked the Balmoral in Southampton, so now it is time to pack those suitcases again! Back in 2017 I completed the Princess Academy travel advisor training program, and in recognition of me knowing all things Princess, I...

February 1st,2023 London, UK There was no doubt about it – when we woke up we were back in Southampton and it was time to disembark. Being a huge ABBA fan I had though that we couldn’t get so close to the ABBA Arena and not see the show. Our driver was there to meet...

January 31st, 2024 At Sea Last day – and time to do the packing. This wasn’t too much of a challenge, but there was a lot to do on board. Being the last day there was the ukulele concert, choir concert, arts and crafts exhibits as well as the usual busy schedule of...

January 30th, 2024 At Sea We have 2 sea days to look forward to. A good thing too, with all of the back to back ports, a bit of rest and relaxation is needed. The program on board was as busy as ever, no time to rest and relax if you wanted to get involved. Several...

January 29th, 2024 Leixoes Maybe it is fitting that our final port is Porto. Well it’s not really Porto as such, the port for Porto is called Leixoes (Lay- sh- oi-sh), and Leixoes is one of Portugal’s major ports. So far the terminals we have seen on this cruise are...
