courtyard marriot on 1st ave.close to von's, beach and aquarium.

get some spicy pigeon peas at the pub.after 1 p.m..free just ask.on the breeze ,hope on other ships too.

take a cab.dr.cave beach can be crowded.we went to the right towards the breakwater.get there early to save your piece of sand.

only been to glacier bay.very impressive.if it's very foggy the ship may not go up the inlet.also note that only one ship can enter and leave before another can come in.also we went sept .9 we had a couple bad sea days ( north Vancouver island-haida gwaii).getting hit broadside by the big waves.our bed was port to starboard.we had a great sleep but people with beds bow to stern were being throw out of bed.the side to side motion i'm guessing.dress warm too.wind chill factor.

we head down a day early when leaving from l.b..head over to von's for supplies.lot's of beaches near by.the ship is 10 minutes away.we stay at the courtyard Marriott.try to relax and not stress out.trying to fit everything in may not work.go a day early.pura vida

just back from the ruby (jan.26-feb.2). room #a341.3 days of toilet problems.other people had toilets overflow.very unhappy with princess response.having to go to a public restroom was not what my wife and I wanted to do.no suction in the toilet.maintance would manually flush it.then it would stop working.internet system was new on the cruise.lot's of people complaining about the slow connections.besides these problems the cruise was great.did stone island and took the bus up to buceris in p.v.

bank rate of exchange is different from the  rate us common folks get.canadian dollar dropped 73 cents to the u.s. dollar.it cost us 1.44 c to a u.s. dollar at the bank

instead of heading to the malecon ,could we catch a bus near the port to visit bucerias for the day.11 hr. stop on the ruby.any tips for a beach restaurant too.thanks tango55

you should see los arcos coming into cabo (depending when you arrive) and see it going out.we  are there jan.26 on the ruby .we arrive at 11:am.later than we have been there before.the boats looks old but they are made for the waters.they do it many times a day.we will a trip on the panga to los arcos then over to mendano beach.if you have a camera worth protecting bring a large baggie for protection .stay in the back too,not as much spray.have a great cruise.it can  be calm waters going there too!!

the malecon is before the golden zone (shopping).vendors on the beach can be a nuisance.just say no gracias amigo.heading there on ruby .jan26.p.v. has a great malecon.no traffic.have a great trip

not  many cruisers are hurt ine.but places like san jose costa rica,roatan there have been tourists killed or attacked usually outside the resort areas.21 cruises and many land vacations.on a mex cruise (ruby) jan.26.scariest place for us was new Orleans.

the murder rate is per 100,000 .cabo has the highest per capita.mexico makes the top 4.brazil and south Africa have more murder but pop. is a lot more per city.

depending when you  are sailing you might factor in fog delays.5 hr. wait on the breeze in jan.18.

depending on the height of the kids it could be a problem.the water can be over 5 ft.our last trip was cancelled to wind in g.c. on another visit the water was deeper.i'm 6'2 with the waves it was fun but not for small children.went to rum point after that.enjoy your cruise

turn left when you get to the main st..lot's of garden's,fountain's,sculptures.1/2 mile of a malecon.flat ground.enjoy

on a b2b on breeze we left the ship early .went to the cvs to buy wine.we got back on the ship before 1:pm.we were not allowed to leave after 1:30.they made a excuse it was too close to leaving.b.s.

depending on the weather try to get the first tender tickets .I went back to hmc after the crowds left and took great pic's of a deserted beach.came back with the crew.our stop was 8- 5.if it is windy you will not get off the ship

make sure you get back at least 1 hr before ship leaves.the road to tabyana is not great.more like a hr. or more.get the first bus there.you can stay longer.the bus driver will tell you when the last bus leaves.don't take chances getting back to the ship.we were there in feb.2018

la paz has the whale sharks.better times to see them,but I'm sure they are there all year long.coronado island we went to in loreto.nice boat trip.two different views of the island.volcanic one side with sea lions and the other side white sand beaches.dolphins too.the town center was very nice.shops and bars and a 1600 century church too.

mostly we bring bits&bite mix with a can of salted mix nuts .we were at tabyana beach in roatan and gave the servers at the bar some mixed nuts we bought at cvs on our b2b this year.they loved it.cozumel does check for fruits and meats with dogs at the port.

.

what ports do your cruise stop at.we did the double-decker hop on -hop off bus.tickets are good for 24 hrs.we stayed near the colosseum.lots to see around there.lots to see even walking around.we stayed around Quattro fontaine and nationale st.

back from the breeze b2b western and eastern cruises.very slow.we had lot's of clouds and rain on them.some people said they had not bad service on the ship.maybe some places have better internet connection.

the drinks at h.m.c. also cost more.something to do with bahama taxes.also watch out for being charged double on the drinks.we had 2 drinks added to our bill.went to g.s.and had it removed.

the photographers work on commission.we take our own pic's when they are not in there photo stalls.they look great and doesn't cost us anything.i have a dslr camera that takes great pic's on or off the ship.if they would make it cheaper to buy photos I give it a try.:cool:

you may see on your cruise a guy in a white suit with a sprayer going into a room to spray.of course they will tell you there is nothing wrong.remember if you say you are sick you will be told to stay in room.there are more sick people than is reported to the ship.
