Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Our favorite port. Had a blast as usual. Caught the infamous glass bottom tour around lands end into the Pacific side. My wife and I were the only passengers this time. El Capitan let me dive in for a swim twice. Solomon’s Landing for lunch (our go to) first time visiting Cabo Wabo for more lunch. We usually go to The Giggling Marlin but it burned to the ground a few months back. Had a young man run us around on his bike taxi for a while then back to the ship. Fireworks show from shore around 9PM.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
Caught a pulmonia to Gran Acuario Mazatlán "Mar de Cortés". Our second visit to the aquarium. If you’re not sure what to do the next time you’re in Mazatlan, give this consideration. It is simply perfect.

San Francisco, California

5 out of 5
Love sailing from SF. We have been blessed with great weather every time and sailing under the Golden Gate is a priceless experience.

Manzanillo, Mexico

4 out of 5
Not a favorite stop but we make the best of it.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Resort for the day excursion in Nayarit (Nuevo Vallarta). Excellent. Wonderful pool and facilities with a delicious lunch.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
8 AM disembark time. Off the ship, luggage collected and curb side by 8:15. Quick and organized but who likes to leave?
