Hi Everyone,

I am really on the countdown now!! I only have 15 days to go! The new cast are on now. They are really lovely. I’m so looking forward to seeing them do some of the shows. For our last cruise we have done ‘Welcome Aboard’ and ‘Pianoman’ for the last time and for the remainder of this cruise they will do all the other shows except for my favourite ‘Curtin Up’. ‘Curtin Up’ has now been taken off the Princess Ships due to copyright issues, so as the new cast didn’t need to learn it for that reason we will do it one last time and then that’s it!

Mum and Annette disembarked in LA and after 4 days there are flying home today. Mum got teary saying good bye to me, but I’ll be home in just a couple of weeks. They had a great time onboard. I was so lucky the First Purser allowed them their own cabin.

After I last wrote in Aruba we then travelled through the Panama Canal again and did a tour that night in Panama City. In Costa Rica we did a tour of their capital city San Jose. I had done the tour before with Dave at the beginning of my contract and thought it would be one of the best ones for them to do.

In Guatamala we went to Antigua an ancient city once the capital of Central America. Our next port was Huatulco, Mexico. Huatulco was where the ship got damaged. We hadn’t been back there since that had happened. I swear if the Captain could have picked the ship up to get it into port he would have. It took us forever to dock. Huatulco was really really hot that day, as was Acapulco. In Acapulco Mum, Annette and I visited an old fort before going to see the famous cliff divers and then lunch at Los Flamingos.

Cabo San Lucas was our final port that cruise we’re we did a Coastal Highlights tour. Cabo is a really pretty place. It’s very rocky and arid set on the coast which makes it quite picturesque.

In LA after saying goodbye to Mum and Annette we all went to greet the new cast and then headed out to Longbeach for lunch. We don’t work now for two weeks. In a week or so I’ll start packing but until then there’s not much else to do now except look forward to ports. The first port in this cruise saw us back in Cabo. All of us went to the Hard Rock Café to celebrate Nipples birthday. On the walk back we came across a place that had a baby lion which I got to hold… see the photo. He was so cute. Today we are in Acapulco for the last time. After doing some internet I’m off the water park!

I can’t wait to April 28th!!!

Lots of love
Jess xx
