As the Pacific Princess steams back toward L.A., it's time to enjoy your last evening on board by dressing up! As...you, in fancy clothes, not a square dancer, a Woman Of The Future, or an extra from Moonsky & Butch. It's Formal Night! Steaks and lobster for everyone! Make sure to bust out your very best powder blue tuxedo. You packed it, right?

Hopefully everyone's recovered from last night's costume part, because today the ship docked bright and early at the final stop in Mexico: Cabo San Lucas. The ship will leave at 2pm to make sure we get back to LA on time tomorrow, so get in your last minute shopping and dolphin excursions before we get ready to face cold, snow wetness back in ( Read more... )

The boat was back at sea and headed toward Cabo, and for your entertainment, the Love Boat's benevolent Cruise Director had decided that tonight would be Costume Night! Yes, it was time to break out costumes for your favorite meta 70's television characters! Or you could rent them from the Gift Shoppe - bellbottoms and plaid come in all sizes, you ( Read more... )

If anyone was awake at sunrise (why? why would you do that to yourself?) they would have been able to watch as the ship pulled in to dock in Mazatlan. Everyone who woke up at a sensible hour would find themselves with plenty to do, as long as they made it back to the ship by sunset, around 5pm. It was a beautiful, warm, and sunny day for exploring ( Read more... )

Back at sea and pointed toward Mazatlan, the Loooove Boat continues its series of passenger costume and activity fun with another theme intimately connected to the Mexican Riviera: Square Dance NightNo, you're not allowed to ask. Or, well, you can, but Your Bartender will just snort and point to Your Yeoman Purser, who will shake his head and blame ( Read more... )

For those of you not sleeping off hangovers due to last night's jaunt into the fictional future, it was a beautiful morning just off the Mexican coast. And about mid-morning, the ship would be pulling in to dock in Puerta Vallarta. If you do decide to head off onto dry land, just be sure to make it back before the ship leaves at 6pm sharp! And for ( Read more... )

Another evening on a Pacific Princess cruise, another theme! And tonight, it's Future Night! Well, the future as envisioned by people in 1978.

Jetpacks.

So. Many. Jetpacks.

Also, so much silver. And white. And needlessly rounded shapes. But mostly the white and the silver and the jetpacks. Man, they're gonna be disappointed in the future.

While the ship wasn't making port today (that was tomorrow!), they'd moved close enough for some pretty spectular photographs of the Mexican coastline. Dolphins swam with the ship for a half hour around lunchtime, and while "karaoke" wasn't a word most members of the crew were familiar with, "piano singalong" certainly was. It was happening on the ( Read more... )

Do you know what the evening brings on a Pacific Princess cruise besides terrifying swaths of teeny swim trunks worn by men with no business being in them?

Did you same "theme nights?" Because you should have said theme nights.

Hope you'd all gotten settled in nice and snug last night, folks, because today is going to be spent out at sea. No stops, no fancy sights, no tourist traps: just you, the ocean, and the wonders of the late 70s.

You want drinks? There's drinks. You want pools? There's pools. You want disco?

Oh, there's disco...
