Exciting news.  Check one more box off the CDC requirements for cruising out of the US.  Thanks for posting!!  👍

I'm going to appreciate being served by a crew member in the buffet.  I've been reluctant to eat at the buffets after watching how some of the passengers partake.  😉

We have been three times this year! Stayed at the Marquis (2x) and Sandos Finisterra. Both were great! Cabo is a great place and very clean and safe. We love visiting The Office and Flora Farms. Enjoy your trip! 

Thanks for the resort names. I’ll check them out for sure. We love The Office as well. Normally stop in every time we’re at Medano beach. 

Thanks for the pic!  We're in the process of planning a flight down to Cabo to stay in a nice resort for a week or so.  That should be a nice getaway until cruising resume.  We've done Vegas three times since the pandemic began but need something else.  Your picture is tempting me to rent a car for a day while we're there and drive up to La Paz and maybe even Loreto.  🙂

Yes.  The shore is not visible for the vast majority of the cruise.  Enjoy!

Yay!!  Glad to see you two are getting out and about.  Thanks for posting some of the "good stuff" and as always I look forward to your next trip report!

I got my mail hold done. I got my vacation hair cut. I got my tip money out of the bank.

 

Sweet!  Another Saint Greg review!  I'm looking forward to it.  One question - what is a "vacation hair cut"?? 😁

I've never done it myself but have read other's comments and they are mostly positive.  The key to getting the credit seems to lie in the fact that the excursion you find at the lower price needs to match the ship's excursion EXACTLY.  Good luck!

A big thank you to all who have participated so far!  👍

I seriously doubt this will get anywhere but I figured I may as well give it a shot...  https://cruising.org/en/clia-action-center

Your husband is hilarious!  😆

Amazing story!  Thanks for sharing it with us!

Just curious, do you have an android phone or Iphone?

FYSA, you're replying to a 3-year old thread.  😉

I recommend Hotel Maya (a Hilton property).  It's a nice place and walking distance to the cruise terminal (they also offer a free shuttle if you difficulty walking).  My second recommendation is Hilton Hotel Long Beach.  They also offer a free shuttle to the cruise terminal which you'll need since that hotel is not walking distance.  I've stayed at both and would give the slight edge to Hotel Maya for the proximity to the terminal as well as the beautiful grounds.  Oh and they also offer park and cruise package for those that drive to port like we do.

Edit:  Sorry, I can't help with the airport transportation questions.

I have one from a 7 day Mexican Riviera cruise on Splendor, November 2011.  I'm glad I have it and enjoy watching it from time to time.  I didn't realize that Carnival stopped selling these.

Yes, they "automated you ability to make your choice online" to avoid a flood of customer calls.  As you can see in the sentence after that, their online tool will "allow for faster processing".  That doesn't mean it's truly automated.  Someone still needs to actually process your request.

Mine didn't disappear.. It's still there even after I submitted the form.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.  How long ago did you submit the form?  I ask because it's not an automated process.  Someone at Carnival will still need to apply your request (FCC or a refund) to your account.

I appreciate your updates as well, Hank.  Her bridge cam shows her in the marina.  Great to see her in port again. 🙂

I emailed today and received credits in two hours.

They're super quick right now.  I emailed mine yesterday and it was credited in about 45 minutes! 🙂

I had the same issue, OP.  Go back to your mock booking but continue on through the part where you enter your wife's data (name, dob, etc.).  Once confirming her information, the next screen will have both of your FCCs applied.  Super easy and no need to call.

Cabo San Lucas tours (dot) net. They have great excursions and lots of different boats to choose from for fishing. 

Good news indeed.  Thanks for posting!

CDC mandated no cruises over 7 days.

 

Karen

That mandate is currently set to expire November 1, 2021.  That date could, of course, be extended/rescinded/changed at any time.

4hunters, I followed your instructions  and when I got to View All Past Cruises, the one at the top, is my 1st booked cruise. All other cruises listed are old ones I have already taken.

 

Sorry about that.  I read your post as you were asking two questions, one of which I responded to.  Hope you get it figured out.
