7-day Mexican Riviera cruise with Carnival Pride departing from LA, USA
Queen Mary - cruise ship
Cruises typically stop at a different port of call each day or every other day, depending upon distances and sailing time between points of interest. You may stay aboard the ship all day or disembark at any stop. You are free to explore each destination on your own as long as you return to the ship by the designated time.
Our ports of calls were Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Los Cabos. Puerto Vallarta: city tour - swimming with the dolphins.
Mazatlan:
Cabo San Lucas:There are the standard cruise shops, a marketplace of crafts and clothing, and some random street vendors doing the "braid your hair", "take a ride on my water taxi" thing. The trip on the water taxi was nice. You can ride around the Land's End, go up to the pelican colony, not nearly the number the pelicans living at the fishing pier in Mazatlan, went to look at the sea lions, and checked out the Pacific side of the peninsula.
