I'm so glad you two typically do a walk or a hike in some of these cruise ports. I tend to book excursions, but when a walk is handy, I come straight to your RUclips channel. 🙂 Thank you!
Loving these preparing for my cruise in 2 weeks! Hope you get the other port days out in time haha! I appreciate how real you guys are giving your opinion on everything from shopping to transportation to dinner. Also happy to learn about wifi and vanilla at Walmart and other small details like that 😃
I really like how this cruise port feels like you really got let out into a different country. It's not like all the other cruise ports that seem to be small sections manufactured for cruise tourist. Definitely going to be adding some sailings out of Long Beach to my list. Great video as always.
Another great vlog! Thank you so much for showing us your tour of Puerto Vallarta. So wild that you took the city bus and showed us how too. Were they driving with the front door open?
You're very welcome! Puerto Vallarta was a ton of fun. And yes, I believe the door was open the whole time while we were driving. So hold on so you don't fall out 😂
My wife and I will be there in2 weeks. Can you tell me what bus to take to the male on a d which one and the take back to the cruise terminal. Much appreciated.
I don't recall the bus number but we just asked for which one went to the Malecon and that did the trick. For heading back we looked for a bus that said Walmart. We've taken the bus in PV several times and it has always worked out well for us.
What kind of tours were they offering when you got off the boat? Carnival just canceled my excursion and I have to improvise with a tour not through Carnival.
We are doing this cruise in an April for spring break. 3 kids 18 14 11. I’ve been following your videos. Great advice! Anything you would recommend we do for the kids?
Awesome! you will love the ship. There is a lot to do for the teens... High Ropes, Pools, Parties etc. We have always enjoyed the boat rides to the Arch in Cabo. You could hike El Faro in Mazatlán or even head to the beach in any of the ports. We just released some new videos on the Navigator of the Seas visiting the same ports. If you look back in the channel these videos may give you more ideas. All the best and Happy Cruising!
If I remember correctly, they open at 6.30 in the morning and go until about 9.30 at night. So yes, you should have time to visit the buffet if you don't like the MDR. I also believe the deli is open until 11.00 p.m. for sandwiches and pizza I think is 4.00 a.m. Of course these times could always change.
When watching your video on the Mexican riviera Carnival Panorama cruise I heard you mention you had a15 Year old son. Was it required that he use a passport or would a copy of a birth certificate work
We have Canadian passports so I'm not 100% sure on the rules of sailing without one. If anybody else watching has sailed without a passport Please comment below. I would also check out the carnival website as they probably have information there.

Thank you for your kind words and support! You're going to have amazing time on the Panorama! The Mazatlan vlog should be out towards next weekend.
Enjoyed this, thanks! I've been there but didn't venture outside the port. Pretty cool!
Awesome 👍 Thanks for watching! Yes, Puerto Vallarta has a beautiful old town and Malecon Boardwalk area.

Thanks 👍 Yes, Puerto Vallarta has some great spots to visit and lots of culture.
I loved the wild boar too (on the Splendor in August).
Yes, it was super delicious! 👍 We were on the Splendor a few years ago.
Hola , muy buen video , hacemos esa ruta en Noviembre en el NCL Bliss cruzando el Canal de Panamá , gracias por la información .
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video and enjoy the NCL bliss!

Could you take a taxi to the Malecon instead of a bus.
Yes, there were lots of taxis if you would rather do that. We've been to Puerto Vallarta several times and have done both taxis and the city bus.
My wife and I will be there in2 weeks. Can you tell me what bus to take to the male on a d which one and the take back to the cruise terminal. Much appreciated.

👍👍👍 💞🍻
Which bus did you catch?
Hello 🤗 from cold Iowa weather
Can't wait to take that cruise (may 2023)😎
Any "casa de cambio" in cruise port where I can exchange dollar to pesos 🤑
Awesome 👍 You will love it. We just used American dollars and everybody seemed to accept them. And then they would typically give you pesos as change.
Hi. Can I use regular phone to call friend on ship? Or use something else.
Can buy water from outside to ship ?
Thank you for this! How was your WiFi?
We only bought it for the days we needed it but it worked fine for us.
What kind of tours were they offering when you got off the boat? Carnival just canceled my excursion and I have to improvise with a tour not through Carnival.
Was the water heated on the boat for the pools and water slide?

What are hours of buffet? I’m wondering if i don’t like MDR if i can take my kids to buffet
If I remember correctly, they open at 6.30 in the morning and go until about 9.30 at night. So yes, you should have time to visit the buffet if you don't like the MDR. I also believe the deli is open until 11.00 p.m. for sandwiches and pizza I think is 4.00 a.m. Of course these times could always change.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer thank you! We sail this Saturday. 1st timers and excited!
Awesome 👍 You will have an amazing time. Happy Cruising! 🌴🛳️☀️
Are the bus rides free?
No, did you cost money? However, it was quite cheap. I believe 10 pesos or about $0.50.

You can use a passport or birth certificate if you're a US citizen
I imagine you can use US dollars to pay for items?
Yes, everywhere we went took US dollars. However, you may get change back in pesos.
Yes, but I recommend you change some money for pesos, because sometimes you pay more in dollars than in pesos.
