Bryan_x Posted January 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi we are first time cruisers and I would like some advice on what to do when we disembark at: Cabo San Lucas Mazatlan Puerto Vallarta Would you recommend doing our own thing or purchasing trips from the cruise liner? We have already purchased the drinks package and the WiFi package. Any tips on how to get the best from our cruise, departing 9 February would be much appreciated. Thank you.

JimnKaren Posted January 13, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2019 OR, do your own research, as we (CC people) don't really know what your priorities might be when traveling. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted January 13, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2019 My practice is that unless I have something specific I have read about that I want to see/do in a new port, for my first visit I book the most basic general tour that the ship offers. That way I know I have seen the highlights and have an idea of what I might like to do on a future visit. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyStar Posted January 15, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I did this same itinerary on the Splendor. I loved this ship. We disembarked at only one port, Puerta Vallarta, and did a island getaway type excursion. It was a blast. We were in a spa room and spent a lot of time in the T-pool. It was glorious. We never even left the boat on the other ports. Port days on board is so quiet. Edited January 15, 2019 by LuckyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
