OK, So Maybe Carnival Isn’t As Bad As I Thought – So Sue Me

[SailorJack]

Our first glimpse of the Mazatlan shoreline. It was a little hazy. but cleared up quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our first view of Land's End. Looking between the rocks we can see that there is already another cruise ship in the harbor.

 

 

 

[SailorJack]

We have arrived in Mazatlan. Not only was there a cruise ship already there - there were two! The Island Princess and the Ruby Princess. They beat us there but left ahead of us.

 

 

 

 

You can see the city Mazatlan in the background. We spent a week here many years ago and could not believe how much this place had grown. It was a quite little town back then, but now it is huge.

So glad you enjoyed it. I have tried to get Jill to wear that outfit but she refuses!:D

Our first view of Land's End. The rock formations were absolutely stunning!

Thank you! Another outstanding and entertaining review. I had been having SailorJack withdrawal symptoms. Now I have my fix.

[NeptunesGoddess]

Really enjoyed your review! I laughed out loud a couple times. We are taking this cruise this coming Saturday and are really looking forward to it!

My posts have been called a lot of things, but I think a "fix" is a new one.:D Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it and I know you will enjoy your upcoming cruise. The only real problem we had was the tender in Cabo. If you don't have expedited tender service or on a Carnival tour make sure you get your tender tickets early.

I took a lot of photos of the entrance to Cabo because it is so impressive. This shot shows Lover's Beach. Several years ago we spent a week in Cabo at a resort and would walk down to this beach to snorkel, whale watch and swim with the seals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These were the two Princess ships in the port - the Ruby Princess and the Island Princess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This picture shows the entrance to Cabo from Land's End to downtown Cabo.

Thank you for a most entertaining review. I thoroughly enjoyed your sense of humor. We will be taking our first ever Carnival cruise next January....after 30 + cruises divided among Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Holland America. You have given me encouragement that good things are in store! Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it. Based upon my experience I think you will enjoy Carnival. Like you, we have cruised almost all other cruise lines before trying Carnival - and we were pleased with the experience.

The waterfront was packed with new condos and hotels. None of these were here the last time we visited.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tenders lining up to take people ashore. We heard that some people did not get ashore until after lunch.

Great photos...looking forward to seeing more. It has been a few years since we visited Cabo San Lucas and the pictures bring back memories. Looks like it has grown even since we have been there.

[SailorJack]

Cabo is all about water sports and even before we could get off the ship, there was plenty of evidence of that.

One of your funniest is your Dream or Nightmare review!

[azjim66]

Sailor Jack, That was an amazingly well written, funny review. I really enjoyed it and being a current resident of Arizona with relatives in Alabama and... being a die hard Boston Bruins fan(sorry about 2011!) you checked all the boxes. Thanks for the laughs!!

I want to go parasailing in Cabo! Beautiful pics.

[alexspepa]

another epic Sailorjack review - all you first timers need to read the rest of his reviews - especially the Dream/Nightmare one.

 

thanks Jack!

[SailorJack]

One of your funniest is your Dream or Nightmare review!

 

Thanks. I had a lot of fun with that one.

I laughed so hard that I now have a headache. That was epic.

Glad you enjoyed the photos...more coming as soon as I can edit and upload them. You would not recognize Cabo now - so much growth!

Thank's for a great review. We loved the Miracle, but then we enjoyed all of our cruises.
