We anchored at Cabo San Lucas at 6:30 this morning and will depart at 4pm. It is 77 degrees this morning with sunny skies. 87F at 2pm We have been here on several other cruises.
BACKGROUND INFO:
Just 20 years ago Cabo was just a small fishing village but today with a population of 70,000 it has become one of Mexico’s top 5 tourist destinations. It’s known for its beaches, scuba diving, golfing, marine life, and scenery. There are many resorts, timeshares, and gated residential communities which have become the destination of Hollywood stars and company CEO’s. It is also a very popular cruise ship port of call. We have been here several times on other cruises. Despite safety concerns of tourists traveling to Mexico, Cabo remains one of the safest tourist destinations in the world. Cabo has no cruise ship dock so we are anchored off shore and will be using the ship’s tenders to go ashore today.
LAST NIGHT:
The pilot boat picking up the pilot after departing Mazatlan.
A fishing boat.
Beautiful evening
One of my favorite desserts--banana & macadamia nut pudding.
We call this the "Christmas tree". I comes every night before you order dessert.
TODAY:
We are using the ship's life boats as tenders today to take people ashore.
They were having some problems getting folks on the tender as it was bobbing around and hitting the ramp.
They call this "Lands End" as it is the southernmost tip of the Baja California.
We had lunch in Compass Rose and Mheil seated up at a window table.
I had an empanada followed by this perfectly cooked medium rare piece of salmon with a chili-honey glaze. Excellent!!
This Carnival ship arrived later this morning. I would not want to be walking around in Cabo now with all those folks. Who knows if they have covid!
Thought I would share some photos of deck 12 aft--sports deck. Croquet court.
Pickle ball/paddle ball court
Golf driving net
Putt-Putt
Track
There was to be a "block party" this evening at 6pm but it has been cancelled. We will have Siva bring our pigs in a blanket at 6pm and I will have a martini. Dinner in Compass Rose to follow.
Tonight's menu. Looks like we will enjoy the beef bourguignon again. We may go to the show featuring Jeri Sager, a singer. I have to stay up until midnight Eastern time (10pm ship's time now) so I can go on Regent's website and book some Prime 7 reservations for our world cruise beginning on January 7th.
Last night Benji (one of the head waiters in charge of room service) came by our table. I mentioned that Sunday night is the Seven Seas Society night and normally they have miso glazed sea bass on the menu. But it has been replaced with miso glazed black cod due to lack of sea bass. Seems there is some sea bass left and Benji has arranged it with the chef for us to have it tomorrow night instead of the cod. Yes, spoiled again!!
We sail from Cabo at 4pm and tomorrow will be a sea day before arriving in Ensenada, Mexico, on Monday at 10am.
