All looks good thank goodness. :)

This is what it looked like when Odile struck Cabo last year. Scary stuff.

I can't find any working live web cams from Puerta Vallarta, but the second one on here is from Xatapa, 310 miles south of PV. Listen to the wind.

From the webcam at Cuates y Cuetes, it is cloudy, but no rain yet.

 

Cuates y Cuetes is in the old town (Romantic zone).

Not even high surf.

Here is Cabo right now:

I have two friends leaving on the Sun on Saturday. The first 3 days are sea days as they are heading to Acapulco so there will be plenty of time to change the itinerary if necessary.

Cabo is not under threat. May get some rain.

That's what I assumed, but any idea what they would change it to? Would they do Ca Coast instead or just 2 days in Cabo?

They wouldn't do CA coast, either Cabo or Ensenada would be my best guess.

ALL,

 

Going to be in Cabo December 23, 2015 and would like to know if this is a GOOD time for a Whale Watching Tour??

 

Thanks

Absolutely. If you like a more intimate, first class experience, check out the Rissalena on trip advisor. $55/person includes a full lunch and a maximum of 24 passengers. If you want something less expensive, there are a lot of options available.

If there is damage before your cruise leaves, they can change the itinerary, or Puerta Vallarta day would become another sea day. They will not take you there is there is significant damage.

Here you go, for the next time you're in town:

That is a shame, but it's happened to me also, and yes, you should have asked to see the menu. I challenged a waiter in Cabo when I went to the same establishment two nights in a row and got charged a different price for a bucket of beer than the previous night. It was quickly reduced.

It happened to me in San Diego when I ordered a glass of wine without looking at the menu and when I got the bill, they charged me $12 for one glass, not even a large one, a usual six ounce pour. Needless to say, I will never go to that restaurant again.

You were probably reading about Lolo's which is behind Solomon's Landing restaurant on the marina. The locals go there so it must be good. I am not a massage person myself, but that's what I am told. They are still in business.

There is not a lot of fake drugs at a Mexican pharmacy. It is, after all, where 122 million Mexicans get their prescriptions filled. The names of the drugs may be different, but not fake.

And don't forget about the number of Americans, Canadians etc that call Mexico home. They are surviving the Mexican prescriptions quite nicely.

Yes they do, lots of them.

We ended up eating at Solomon's Landing. We got OJ a beer, chiliquelis, a breakfast burrito and a chili relleno. The relleno was baked and not battered. Spent about $42+ tips

Solomon's is always a good choice for food and people watching.

The Sand Bar is family friendly as well as Billigan's and next door to it, a little hole in the wall called Milky Way.

Billigan's was one of the party scenes but is under new management and has great food and a friendly atmosphere.

I was there on the 5th of September (labor day weekend)

Excellent. I know they were closed in August when I was there, because I went to get some dinner.:(

One of my favorite restaurants in Cabo San Luca for breakfast is "El Pollo de Oro". They have great omelettes and other breakfasts at a locals price. They also have good fresh juices.

 

If you go for lunch, you can get wonderful chicken and ribs. We order the chicken and ribs at times "para llevar" - to take back where we are staying or for a beach picnic.

 

It is on the corner of Moreles and 20 de Noviembre (I think).

Last I heard, they were closed for vacation. Not sure if they are open again yet. Lots of places take vacation or remodel in August & September when it's slow season.

Absolutely. Most bars and restaurants use filtration systems. Ask if you're not sure. It is not in their best interest to make a tourist sick.

I live in Cabo part time and have water filtration. I drink water right out of the tap.

We're on the 1/31 Miracle cruise. We'll be in Cabo on the 2nd & 3rd. We'll have to make plans to see you then.

Excellent! Will be much cooler that time of year. :D

Right before Thanksgiving, staying until mid-March. We booked a British Isles cruise in May so want to come back and spend some time before we take off for that.

You're coming in January? Something like that?

If you want to stay on the marina, both Solomon's Landing and Tiki Bar, (a locals favorite) are open for breakfast. Both were featured on Diners, Drive-in's and Dives.

They used to sell day passes to their sky pool, not sure if they still do. It's easy walking distance from the tender pier.

Mama's Royal Cafe

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g152515-d1382078-Reviews-Mama_s_Royal_Cafe-Cabo_San_Lucas_Los_Cabos_Baja_California.html

It's on restaurant row, close to the town square.

Also, there is Cabo Blue that has breakfast dishes starting at 35 pesos, they don't open until 10 am, may be later than you want. Mama's opens early, I think around 7 am, they are always open when I walk my dogs in the morning.

Take a pedicab, then you won't have to walk in the heat.

Rumor has it that Tabasco's now charges to use their loungers and umbrellas even if you are buying food and drink from them.

If you're wanting a mellow atmosphere, try Billigan's (used to be party but no longer) the Milky Way, next door to Billigan's or the Sand Bar. These have loungers and do not charge for them if you are buying food and drink.

Did everyone purchase their encounter through the ship? If you can walk to the dolphin excursion, can you purchase it directly? Is there a price difference if you did that or is it just as easy to purchase it through the ship?

You MUST purchase through the ship if you are a cruise ship passenger. If you try to purchase directly or with another vendor, you may be cancelled.
