The piano bar is my favorite hang out.  I saw a post where occupancy is limited.  I was wondering if there are any substantial changes in the venue.  Thanks.

We frequently cruise on Seabourn which has limited number of guests around 450. It is owned by Carnival.  I would be happy if we could apply the cruise credit to another Carnival owned cruise line that had fewer passengers per ship. That would be goodwill.

Size does not matter.  I have a friend who sails Windstar Cruises exclusively and her Tahiti cruise last year had Norovirus.  It's probably easier to contain in small numbers, but it can still happen.

Royal Princess is pretty huge. Were the three ships in all three ports together at the same time? If so, did it seem overly crowded in any of the ports, and did the three ships in Cabo overload the tendering process?

No problem at all with tendering, but out ship was also last in.  We got into Cabo around 11 am.   The only place where the crowds were a problem was in Mazatlan trying to get the shuttle back.  The lines were disorganized and some people ended up waiting a long time only to find out they were in the wrong line.   All three ships were with us in all ports.  But now throw in the Panorama, oh boy!

Now that I think about it, the Oosterdam tracked me on the Miracle last week.  It was the Oosterdam, the Miracle and the Royal Princess.  Oosterdam and Miracle are the same size, so I think that must be the answer, when the big ones come in, they change the itinerary.  Getting the shuttle back to the ship in Mazatlan was a zoo last week as it was, I can only imagine when the Panorama comes in.

That was the itinerary when we went on the Oosterdam in April 2019.   PV, Mazatlan and short day in Cabo.

Thank you to everyone that answered.  I was asking for a friend who booked the cabin thinking that it still had the French Doors, he'll be very happy.  😃

Ask again. You never know maybe someone knows better. People ask the same questions all the time. 

I"m getting conflicting information.  That's why I was hoping someone that has recently sailed on the Miracle could set me straight.

This has been discussed many times. I believe they have been removed from all spirit class ships. 

Trust me, I tried to search for it before making my post and could not find anything.  I tried all different configurations in the search field because I understand people get annoyed when a post is discussed over and over again.

Any recent cruisers on the Miracle that can tell me if the French Door cabins on Deck 4 have been converted to floor to ceiling glass or if they are still French Doors?  I have search extensively but can't find the answer.  Thank You.  😃

There is a new water park in Cabo San Lucas close to Medano Beach.  Here is some info:

Thanks for the detailed recommendations.  Is it fair to assume taxi's are a safe way to go for two females travelling alone?  I know things can happen anywhere but wondering in general if this is safe. 

No problem.  I took a taxi by myself in Puerta Vallarta in October because I wanted to buy boots.  They took me straight to the store and then I got another taxi back to the port.  I walk the streets of Cabo San Lucas by myself all the time.  The cruise ships would not be stopping at these ports if there were issues.

O.K. thank you everyone for your response.  I subscribe to an efax service but I usually just receive.  Guess it's time to learn to send.

Happy Sailing everyone!

Hi all, I searched extensively both on this site and on Holland America's site and can't find the answer, so sorry if this has been discussed previously.  I am a shareholder in Carnival Cruise Lines and would like to submit for my benefit on Holland.  I have a phone number and a fax number but who does faxing anymore?  Does anyone have an email address?  Thank you in advance.

I've never taken the land route, always the water taxi. 

 

We always take the pedicab to Tres Hermanos shoe store instead.

 If you have lots of time and want some exercise, you can walk to the beach from the tender pier.  It's a pleasant walk along the marina, takes 30-45 minutes depending on your walking speed.

Someone mentioned taking a water taxi to Medano Beach.  Heads up that when you dismount the taxi, the water could be knee deep.  There are usually people there to help, but if your mom has mobility issues, something to consider.  If you take a glass bottom boat to Los Arcos, they will drop you at Medano Beach at the end of the tour if you wish.

Otherwise you can take a land taxi or a pedicab to the beach.  Pedicab is fun because he takes you through town and gives you a little tour.

We also wondered what happened to the arches when our ship was there in early December.    We had always clearly seen them but not this time-not sure if angle of ship or what.  I agree it would be big news if they were destroyed but it was certainly not clear this time like last. 

It was the angle of the ship.  If you were coming from the north, you would have seen it when you sailed in, if you were coming from the south, you would see it when you head north.

I live part time in Cabo, I saw it on the way home from Costco on the 4 lane road.  The last direct hit from a hurricane was 2014.  It withstood some pretty awesome wave action in that hurricane.  There have been a couple of tropical storms since then, but the arch is alive and well.

The pirate ship is going to be a family attraction, so if you want to do a more adult one, I would go with the Chileno Bay sail and snorkel.

Cabo is not the Caribbean but the snorkeling is pretty decent.

April is Spring Break season so I would not worry about the little kids as much as I would the college kids!

One of my favorite places in Cabo...……..

Hey! I'm in the video! And the time that you were there and I wasn't and Margo took the selfie!

I'll let her know you promoted her.

As with everywhere, climates are changing. The last two Thanksgiving's have been mid to high 80's. Warmer than usual but the humidity is not as high as August, September & October and it cools off at night. Mornings are gorgeous.

People have reported that once it was discovered they were cruise ship passengers, they were cancelled and not able to do the dolphin swim. Cabo Adventures and the cruise line exchange list to be sure all cruise ship passengers are booked through the cruise line. You may want to let Cabo Adventures know you are cruise ship passengers and see what they say. If you have your heart set on doing this, I wouldn't want you to be disappointed.

You can walk to the Office if you are up for some exercise. From the tender pier, it would be approximately 30-45 minute walk depending on the speed you walk. Also, October can still be on the warm side, so you need to take that into consideration. If you are not in port very long, you are better off with a cab or a water taxi. With the water taxi, you may have to dismount in knee deep water.

If there is a long line to get back on the ship, there are a couple of bars right there where you can wait for the line to go down.

Medano Beach is the only swimmable beach in Cabo. That will be your best bet for swimming.

To reach the Sand Bar, you can take a water taxi, a land taxi or if you want some exercise, you can walk. About a 45 minute walk from the tender pier.

Absolutely you can walk the entire Marina and then walk along the beach to get to the many bars and restaurants, and I agree with SadieN, about 45 minutes to reach the beach.

Or, you can take the shortcut. After you pass Luxury Avenue at Puerto Paraiso Mall, take the sidewalk up between the mall and Marina Fiesta. You will reach a dead end, turn left, go up the hill and you will see a sidewalk beside One Medano, go down that sidewalk and you will end up at the beginning of the Medano Beach restaurants. This will cut about 15 minutes off the walk to the end of the Marina and about another 15-20 minutes off the walk down the beach.
