Time 2 Cruise

Ok, for those of us that have been on a cruise or two.... or 16 or 80!!  What would you like to see?  The typical answers are freebies, dinner with the captain etc....  but really, what kind of changes could make that next cruise just that much more?  I know for my wife and I, there is one thing we would love and that is to change up the times in port.  There are a couple of itineraries that we have done so many times that we can sleepwalk thru the town.  Ensenada is a great example for us.  But what if the ship could switch it up and get into port at noon and stay until 9PM or later?  One thing that is missed at most ports of call is experiencing the nightlife.  Many years ago we were supposed to go to Cabo San Lucas and do just that.  Unfortunately the plans changed and we ended up on a standard early port of call that trip.  Maybe something like that will come along again for us in the future.  A great example of a nightlife...

The season isn't even close to over and we are up to Tropical Storm Hector but it hasn't seemed to be as bad as years past.  Fingers crossed it stays that way!  The National Hurricane Center has raised the outlook for the season which is not a thing however there is an expected El Nino that could change that outlook. If the El Nino forms, it can suppress storm formations in the Atlantic.  What many people don't realize is that hurricane season runs into November because it is August and September that on average brings the most and biggest storms. And sometimes the biggest discounts if shopping for a cruise are found this time of year because of it.  As they say with big risk can come big reward.  It is a gamble, but if you pack your ginger pills and are willing to go with the flow, booking a cruise this time of year could be worth it for those looking to save a buck or 200.
