- Visiting the Cabo San Lucas Cruise Port and want to know what there is to see and do? This video highlights the Cabo San Lucas Cruise Port. I show you what you can see and do at the Cabo San Lucas cruise port without taking an excursion. We visited Cabo San Lucas Cruise Port aboard the Carnival Panorama Mexican Riviera cruise in October 2023. That's when all the video footage was taken.

Just had a bad experience in Cabo San Lucas during my family's Panorama cruise. We didn't pay for a Carnival excursion. As soon as we got off the ship, we were BOMBARDED with vendors. I mean seriously, people kept coming up to us again and again trying to sell us stuff and to get us to take a private water taxi of the place. We honestly just wanted to walk around and see what we could see. We kept refusing, but they kept coming back. After 30 to 45 minutes of vendors constantly trying to sell to us, some people in my group decided to do a water taxi. Everything started out fine. The boat probably could have seated 15 to 20 people, but we only had 8. We got on the boat at a docking location. After cruising around for a while, the driver took us to Mercado beach. However, there was no dock and the waters were kind of tidy. The driver would sail as far as he could to the shore, but the tide would just pull the boat back in. He was trying to rush everyone (in Spanish) to get out of the boat. My wife and I were in the process of taking off our shoes to put on beach shoes. The next thing I know, someone said that my brother had fallen into the water. As I saw him crawling to shore, I noticed that he would fall back down every time he tried to get back up. I hurried, got out and went to him. I noticed that something wasn't right with him left knee. We sat him down and he kept saying he couldn't move him leg. So now, we're on an island in unknown territory around people we can barely communicate with while my brother needed medical attention. A person in my party called a Lyft and my brother and I got back to the Carnival water shuttle dock and we went right to the medical center on deck 0.
Long story short, my brother ruptured his patellar tendon. I must say though that the medical staff was very helpful. Since the cruise ship was going to be in Cabo for 2 days, the nurse set it up so that my brother could be seen at Blue Net hospital the next morning. Carnival made sure was had a nice experience getting to the hospital. People assisted my brother from the Carnival medical center all the way to the hospital. I must say that the hospital wasn't the nicest looking hospital in the world (wasn't the worst either), but the care was actually pretty good. They couldn't do an MRI at the hospital, but they got us to a place ASAP. The driver took us to a place and led us to a dark room. LOL!! He walked outside. I turned the lights on. He came back in a communicated to us that someone would be there in about 10 minutes for the MRI. The MRI process was actually very quick and the lady did a great job. She gave us a large envelope with all of the MRI negatives and a DVD. We then went back to Blue Net and spoke with a specialist who told us it was a patellar rupture. He was actually ready to operate that same day. We declined, but the team of doctors who we spoke to sounded very knowledgeable. We decided it would be best to wait and just have the surgery went he got back to the US. I must also note that Blue Net charged my brother $1000 for the MRI and Carnival charged him about $550 for treatment in the medical center.
Thinking back on everything, I just get upset thinking about being dropped off in the middle of all those vendors. I had a much better experience when we went to Half Moon City on my Carnival Bahamas cruise. Not a bunch of vendors in Half Moon City and we were dropped off right at the beach basically.
So my brother had a horrible experience on his first cruise and I also didn't have much of a good time to celebrate my 51st birthday either because I stayed back and hung out with my brother on the ship for 4 days while the other 6 people in my party did activities. $1000's spent for my wife and 2 kids for the cruise and a bunch spent of air fair.
I must also add that I was shocked to see how many people actually require medical attention while on cruises. We talked to a lady who broke her arm the first night on the Panorama cruise. While in the medical center, we saw a guy being wheeled in who broke one of his his large toes. While being water shuttled to go to Blue Net hospital, we saw two older ladies on stretchers who both looked like they needed serious attention. While in Blue Net hospital, we saw more people from the cruise come in and could hear a lady from the cruise in the back screaming because she was having some kind of medication reaction.
People never think about this stuff when planning cruises. What if someone gets hurt? If something serious happens while on a cruise, we don't plan for that type of stuff.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is true that we don’t think of “what ifs” but unfortunately they can happen. I’m happy to hear that everyone is ok!
We were on the Panorama in December (2023) and loved the Cabo stop! We had a nice stroll and lunch at Agua Salado. It was an absolutely brilliant time!
We really enjoyed it as well. Great place to walk and explore! Thanks for sharing 😊
El Peregrino - opens at 1pm. Don't miss it when in Cabo. A few blocks off the harbor but worth the walk or Uber ride,
Thanks so much for the suggestion. It looks really good. I will definitely keep in mind for future Cabo visits 😊
I was on carnival panorama on Oct 15-21. On our first day at Cabo we ended up walking to the mall. It was a long hot walk lol.
What did you think of the mall? Was it worth the long hot walk? 🤔
Looks like the weather is amazing, may I ask what month did you go there?
We were there in October. Weather was perfect in Cabo. Unfortunately we missed Puerto Vallarta though due to bad weather 🤷♀️
@@TravellingKareena I'll be there in October, 2024, on the NCL Encore. (three week Canal cruise)
@@billkallas1762 That will be a really great cruise. Enjoy!
Going on thid ship in June.. How long was the wait to catch a tender?
If I remember correctly, we were there early enough that our party didn’t have to wait. We just walked on when we were ready after breakfast. By then they were on general boarding.
I'm supposed to be on it today 😢. Family medical emergency caused us to cancel so here I'm am enjoying this video for now. I hope you enjoy your trip in June.
Was it cold? How were the beaches and water temperatures
The air was hot. I didn’t check the temperature of the water 🤷♀️
