Our cruise to Mexico was a gift from my Mom. All of my siblings and my brother in law came (no other children to bring). 13 of us in all. The cruise was with Princess and went from LA to Puerto Vallarta , Mazatlan, and Cabo. Seven days.
Highlights
1-All meals prepared and free. What mother doesn't think that's heaven?
2-Warm Weather.
3-Zip lining and watching my kids push themselves and love it.
4-Swimming and watching my kids swim. I thought Jacob would grow fins.
5-Babysitting. It was amazing to have a vacation where we had some kid free adult time yet still could share the fun with our kids. Alan and I did not have to stress over who got time away, we got to have some time together. Oh and they loved the kids club!
6-Time with my sisters and Mom.
7-Reading in the sun and watching pretty scenery.
8- Reading on the deck while listening to ocean at night.
9-Power walks with my sisters every night (we had to get the calories off). Lots of laughing. Thanks Alan.
10- No technology to distract. Phones, computers.
11- Seeing stuff I have never seen.
12- New Jewelry. Something I never buy myself, ever.
13-The twins were celebrities as there were no other twins on the boat. They were well known and were given lots of perks (which were shared with Lindsey and Jacob).
14- Amazing service.
15- Our boat ride in Cabo.
Low lights
1- Day two- the croup. First Sydney, then Hailey.
2- Bathroom accidents. No vacation from my dirty work.
3- Some parts of Mexico are not nice. Mazatlan was quite a story.
4- Packing two little clothes for the kids. They got mighty dirty.
5- My beloved Rebel betraying me. It's acting up. Only works when it wants to. Thank goodness I have two camera's.
6- Coming home, all of it.STUNK!
I highly recommend cruises. I loved every minute. I can hardly wait to go on another.

♥ Sounds like it was More Great than not so great. I've never been to Mexico and I'm not so sure that I ever really want to... :)
Glad you had a good time. I never took a cruise with my kids, and I've always wanted to. Never too late, right?
I so want to go to Cabo! Was it awesome?
I have only been on a day cruise & would LOVE to go on a cruise. ahhhh maybe one day. it does sound wonderful & I agree no vacation is a true 100% vacation from mommy duties - unless the kids aren't with. lol
sounds like fun and craziness all rolled into one!
Sounds like heaven to me even with the low lights. We are talking about taking a special vacation this summer. I think a cruise might be on the lost of possibilities. can't wait to see some pictures.
What's up with your camera? Weird. I've always wanted to go on a cruise! We are leaving in less than a week. I'm so excited. Thanks for the links to the booking site. I want to do the zip line for sure!
LIKE YOU REALLY NEED TO SELL US ON CRUISES? PUH-LEASE! :)
cruising is truly a vacation!
