If you’re a golfer, there aren’t many courses better than those at Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, at the tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula.

Here’s a post from the blogosphere about things to do in Cabo San Lucas:

There are so many good-looking places in Mexico that it becomes quite a problem to decide where you could stay for most of your vacation. We can always wish that we have the chance to visit all places at once, but it may take a lot of years (and money) in order to do so. The Mexican Riviera alone has a lot of interesting spots to visit.

One of them is Cabo San Lucas. Located in the southernmost tip of the Baja peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is increasingly becoming one of Mexico’s top high-end holiday destinations. But other Mexican Riviera destinations such as Acapulco are also known for its high-end lifestyle, so what makes Cabo San Lucas any different?

First of all, with at least five different championship courses here, Cabo San Lucas is undoubtedly Mexico’s golfing capital, comparatively similar to the Dominican Republic. There are more courses underway, too. If you’re a pro, you should know about Cabo San Lucas as a top golfing destination. Some of the courses here were designed by some of the golfing greats: Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones II, and Pete Dye.

Another activity to look forward to here is sportsfishing. Prior to its establishment as a holiday destination, Cabo San Lucas also used to be a private destination for sportsfishers wanting to get some practice. Now that the activities here have already diversified, sportsfishing remains to be a favorite hobby. Sportsfishers usually call the waters surrounding the place as “Marlin Alley” because of it being a top destination for billfish fishing…

Need advice on our Mexico cruise?

Posted in Cabo San Lucas Flights by CaboAmigo




Okay, so we’re looking at two cruise options…

The first is an 11-day cruise out of San Francisco. We live in the Bay Area, so the convenience factor (no flight, no extra hotel, etc.) is a big deal. Ports of call are Topolobampo, La Paz, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. The itinerary includes five total days at sea, and seems to be only offered by Norwegian.

The second option is out of Los Angeles. Obviously, this would require at least a hotel room before departing, and either a long drive, or a short flight. That adds expense, as well as inconvenience. However, there are more cruise lines to choose from, with this departure point. Ports of call are Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta.

So, here are my questions:
1) Should I worry about seasickness with all of those days at sea?
2) Are the extra stops on the longer cruise worthwhile?
3) Has anyone sailed on Norwegian? I’ve heard a lot of good things about Carnival, but as of right now, their price for the shorter trip is $500 more than the same trip on Norwegian. I also like Norwegian’s “Freestyle Cruising” concept, that allows us to time meals & events on our schedule, instead of theirs. Input?
4) What shore excursions do you recommend in these various ports of call?
5) Is the end of October a good time to be on the Mexican Riviera, or are we in trouble relative to hurricane season?
6) What else am I missing?
Okay, one other question I’ve just thought of…

If we depart out of Los Angeles or San Diego, do y’all have any recommendations for hotels before and/or after the cruise?
