This was my second cruise. This time hubby and I tried the Princess Cruises Seven Days Mexican Riviera Cruise out of the Port of Los Angeles, CA. We visited three ports: Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. The weather was perfect. The ocean was calm until the last two days of the cruise were a little bit choppy and rocky. Luckily I was prepared with my Sea Band and the patches prescribed by my doctor, so I did not get seasick. The overall cruising experienced was good, but nothing special compare to our first cruise with Celebrity Cruises. We did one excursion on each port. They were great, but we felt a little bit uneasy in Mazatlan. Our favorite was Cabo San Lucas.
Embarkation Day - Port of Los Angeles
Day 1 & 2 - At Sea
Day 3 - Puerto Vallarta
The Malecon - the city's most popular boardwalk
Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Hacienda Doña Engracia
Blue Agave
Tequila drinking toasts: Arriba (glasses up), abajo (glasses down), al centro (glasses to the front) pa dentro (drink up)
The highlight of our excursion was the tequila tasting at the Hacienda Doña Engracia, Puerto Vallarta's finest tequila factory.
Day 4 - Mazatlan
Some of the highlights: High Divers, Plaza Revolución, and Cathedral Basilica
Day 5 - Cabo San Lucas
Where the Pacific Ocean meets the Baja Peninsula
El Arco
El Arco - majestic rock formations
Los Cabos
Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos were the highlight of the cruise. We will definitely be back there someday to explore more.
Day 6 - At Sea
We spent quite a bit of time at the International Cafe for coffee and desserts during the day at sea. We did a lot of bar hopping from the poolside bar to the Crooners Bar. And eating at the main dining rooms and cafes - to see the food we ate during the cruise find it on our EAT section.
Day 7 - Los Angeles
