We want to do some whale watching in Cabo. I have read several times that people have said you can see some whales from the cruise ship. We were going to do a tour. However, I’m wondering if the boat tour to the Arches and Lovers’ Beach is enough to do for a whale tour,…or does that trip not venture far enough out?

Can I ask if there is a company most recommend for whale watching in Cabo?

This is excellent information. Thank you so much! We will be walking the line in January!

Thank you so much!

I will do a shuttle if we cruise from Galveston again. For the record, I know you can schedule ahead for an Uber ride which I looked at doing. The cost quoted was over double what we actually paid to get from IAH to Galveston. Honestly, even if we had pre booked, there is no saying our driver wouldn’t have got caught up in the traffic and been late anyway. It’s likely not as difficult as we experienced but if you have a tight flight to catch, I would not risk it.

We had no delay with immigration, however finding the location to grab our Uber and getting the Uber was a nightmare. With Ubers in the area, the ride might show it is only 1/4 mile away, however, due to the traffic in the area it can take far longer than you think. And since we were going to IAH, a couple Ubers dropped our ride. We were told by another that some don't want the long commute from Galveston to the Houston airports. In the end it took nearly an hour and a half to get an Uber and we had to run at the airport to get our flight.

I have read "walked the blue line" a number of times in relation to Mazatlan. Can you explain what this means? I don't know anything about the Beatles Road so I will look in to that. I keep seeing mention of the Malecon as well. I'll admit that once the Panorama started to have issues, I stopped researching the ports so I am behind on my planning. I think our cruise at the end of January should be good to go as planned. Fingers crossed! As for the cooler weather, we are fine with that. Sounds like the perfect temperatures to walk around and take in everything without quickly overheating and having nothing but energy to sit at the beach.

Okay. Sounds like skills I could learn from watching pros on YouTube so I’ll try out another class. I appreciate your feedback.

I wish I could help him 😞 No worries, thanks anyway.

Ah, bummer. Okay. My apologies.

I have no idea if this is allowed, but are you able to share the name and contact for your PVP? If it is not, please ignore. I do not use one, I just book myself. However, I have a disabled friend who uses one from every cruise line as he books accessible cabins. He tried to put a cabin on hold yesterday and the PVP he spoke with gave him some very incorrect information so he has zero confidence.

Glad you were able to find and snag a solution!

I am going to sign up for the pasta class. I'm sold 🙂

That is what I saw! Lol. However some that claim to be on board now say it is at 15 knots and scheduled to arrive in time. Who knows?

This is great info and I really appreciate all of it. The more I read and look in to it, I don’t think the Queen Mary is for us, as a hotel. I did take a look at Hotel Maya. I think the Convention area you suggested is where I’ll focus. As for the rental car, it would likely mean less if a headache if we drop it off the night before. Maybe one of the locations mentioned has the after hours drop off availability. I’ll see which hotel is close to one of the car rental locations.
