jfaaborg Posted February 11, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2020 does anyone know if the Carnival ships stop in the same orientation when in Cabo? Reason I am asking it we have a two day stop in Cabo, and I would like to choose a cabin on the side where we can best see the sunset from our balcony Thankx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loanshark Posted February 11, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Cabo is a tender port.... The boat will be anchored offshore, and you ride in a "water shuttle" or "tender" from the ship to the shore. The direction the ship will point to will be dictated by which direction the wind is coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted February 11, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Even at a dock, any dock, any port... this is very hard to predict, if not impossible. So many variables involved in the Captain's and the ports' decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idraconis Posted February 11, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I been in Cabo San Lucas a bunch of times and seen cruise ship sail in into. It's kind of cool to see. They don't dock, it's a tender port. The ship just anchors and depending on the tide just drifts around where it's anchored. What I've noticed with two days in Cabo it's not an overnight stay. The ship sails at 6:00 pm and returns at 7:00 am. The ships casino can't open while. That may have changed, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrounds Posted February 11, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Orientation ? Drop the anchor, bow into the wind, tenders (now called shuttles) take passengers ashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwrestler171 Posted February 16, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I've been on the ships a cpl times to Cabo, once it was starboard towards the sunset and the other it was port side. Most pics I see though, tend to have port side facing the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrucern Posted February 16, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Yes the ship docks off shore in the same location with the bow facing cabo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
