February 3, 2015. Nuevo Vallarta, Mex. Cruise Ships.

They look their best when leaving the harbor at night, with the lights twinkling in the pitch black. But we watch them come in the morning too even though we can only see the shape of the big ships. Many cruise ships visit Puerto Vallarta. The dock area for the huge ships have been expanded so now several ships at a time cam come and visit at the same time. Normally, the ships come into port on Tuesday or Wednesday. We play this game of what ship it is from the distance. Then Ken looks it up on the computer and we know what ship it is and when it will arrive and depart. They just stay for the day. Today, two ships arrived this morning and departed tonight. Of course, we were on duty to watch as they left, although one left at 7:00 which was right at dinner, but the 8:00 departure we watched. By the time we can see the ship from our balcony, it was pitch black. Fortunately, all lights were lit on the Princess Star. It looked like a mystery ship. Rita and Ian have not taken a cruise so we answered their many questions, including the good question of what happens if someone is left on the dock? Perhaps we don't have much to do, but we do have fun tracking these cruise ships in and out of the port. I guess we are easily amused.
