No Jogging!

On the ship (some) people like to keep in shape and one way to do that is to run. The ideal deck would be the Promenade Deck because it's wide and level all the way around the ship. However, No Jogging is allowed there, which is nice for strollers and loungers. The only deck to jog on has several ups and downs of several steps. Oh well. . .

Market

Near the pier wherever a cruise ship docks there is an open air market, all the shops selling similar items, either clothing or jewelry. Puerto Vallarta is no exception - here's the biggest, most colorful shop.

Looong hallway

The Sapphire Princess is a pretty big cruise ship, almost 1,000 feet long. Our cabin was not far from the bow of the ship and the dining rooms were way aft; so we got our exercise just walking back and forth to meals. This is the hallway stretching aft to apparent infinity!

Happy Birthday

We got to our stateroom and unpacked. When we came out to explore the ship, the Birthday Fairy (Celeste and family) had been there and decorated our doorway for Dick's birthday. They were very quiet - we heard nothing! All of this remained there for the whole voyage; I'm sure a lot of people used it as a landmark to find their own cabins.
