Shopping area suggestions for PV !!

It's been over 30 years since we have been to PV so obviously things have changed -- we would be interested in some suggestions on where to shop in PV and what the taxi ride might cost and how far it would be from where the ship docks -- we have never taken a cruise out of California and are flying to LA for our first Mexican Rivera Christmas cruise -- looking forward to the adventure -- thanks in advance for any assistance and Happy cruising --:)

There is a small market as part of the pier. Across the street from the pier is a Walmart and beside it a large outlet mall.

The blue/white bus from the highway with Centro or Olas Altas on the screen brings you to the Malecon and old town. Lots of nice small shops, also a flea market near the Rio Cuale. Cab at the port charge in US$ per person, those yellow cabs on the highway will charge around 100,- Pesos. Always make your rate before getting in.

Across from the terminal there is Galleria Mall with Liverpool as main shop. Nice shops but of course more expensive then the markets. And yes you will also see Walmart and Sams almost next to the Mall.

That's more like what we are looking for -- appreciate your reply -- Happy cruising --:)

Can 4 people get a cab together to Malacon and if so would driver take American $ and what would we expect to pay? And is it easy to get cab back to ship? None of us speaks Spanish.

When you leave the ship there will be lots of van type cabs that will hold several people. Just make sure to ask how much before you get in. You shouldn't have a problem getting a cab back they are parked everywhere. Again just ask how much. They will take U.S. dollars and even if they don't know english they will know enough to help you out.

Is Pacific Jewelry is open? Purchased a ring there years ago. I remember it was endorsed by the ship. They said if we ever come back, I can turn in the ring and upgrade. Thanks.
