    Hello Happy Travelers!
    Welcome onboard Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas! We are on a seven night Mexican Riviera sailing leaving from Los Angeles, California visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta Mexico! Navigator has received Royal Amplification, which means it underwent refurbishments to include exciting new features, such as Battle for Planet Z laser tag, Lime & Coconut bar and Caribbean Pool Deck, Riptide and Blaster waterslides, Jamie’s Italian, Playmakers, and more!
    Today is our first port of call, Cabo San Lucas Mexico! This is our first time here and we can’t wait to explore! The excitement started before we even got off the ship with an incredible dolphin and whale sighting! Cabo is a tendering port, so we give you all the info of what to expect with that process. We decided to take a boat tour to see some of the famous rock formations and landmarks nearby, including the Cabo Arch! We explain and describe the excursion company we went with, the cost, and sights that you will see on this tour and water taxi! The tour was absolutely gorgeous and we learned so much about the area! After our tour, we stopped at Pelican Rock to snorkel where Matt found some new fish! We also had a very up-close encounter with a sea Lion that was unforgettable! Today was a perfect day from start to finish!
    We hope this was helpful and fun for you! If you are interested in planing your own cruise vacation, we would love to assist you!

    Omg I’m so excited for you guys to go to Mazatlan!!! I’ve been there 10 times in the last 12 years (not cruising). They have had really hard times with ships not stopping because of violence so I am VERY happy to hear cruises have been stopping. I am going there next month after two years of not going (Covid 😖) and very excited to see how it’s going. I cannot wait to see your Mazatlan video and I really hope you guys enjoyed it ☺️ Mazatlan has a very special place in my heart and is a second home one week out of the year for me. I do have a picture from 6 years ago of a cruise ship ported there, I wonder if I could figure out what type of ship it is!?

    Thank you so much for this beautiful video. My hubby and I will be taking a 7 day cruise to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in August. Cabo will be one of our stops... after watching this video I'm so exicited and looking forward to be at Cabo. Thank you for sharing the different options of the locals and the exact stops. Quick question: was the snorking included with the boat ride or did you brought your own? and how long was round trip in cabo? we plan to have a 4 hours on the port and we were wondering if that's enought time?

      @HoffmanHappyTravels  2 года назад

      Hi! That’s awesome! So glad you enjoyed the video and that you are excited for your visit to Cabo! We brought our own snorkeling equipment but I believe there were people on the beach renting out equipment for an additional cost. I think our boat and snorkel time round trip was around 2-3 hours. We hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
