We tendered off the ship, looked around and shopped for a while, had some fish tacos, and then reported for our ship's shore excursion, a whale watch on a zodiac. Amazing excursion! We saw lots of humpbacks breaching, spy hopping, fluke slapping, tail slapping, and diving. This excursion would not be for the faint of heart or those who get seasick, however. We were far from shore in a very small, bumpy boat. 


Cabo San Lucas

Acapulco is hot and crowded. We hired a van at the dock to take us to see the cliff divers. We elected to watch from the shade at a table at the Hotel Mirador. Saw two diver shows and Indian dancing at the hotel. Came out and met the driver who had waited for us. He drove us around a while, took us to the Casa Blanca for a great view of the harbor. We then elected to return to the ship because we were hot & tired. 


Acapulco

Very hot. Best price for souvenirs. Articles became cheaper the farther away from the dock one went. Ship offered some interesting shore excursions, but they involved riding on a bus for 7-9 hours, not my cup of tea. 


Punta Arenas

Most interesting of all the ports, aside from the passage through the Panama Canal which is not an option for a review. I'd say the streets in Colombia are cleaner than they are in Minneapolis! We hired a van at the port to take us around. We spent 6 hours touring around with him. Very interesting. 


Cartagena (Colombia)

6143:  great balcony, great quiet location

In Miami, there could be one line for US passports and one line for all others.Embarcation in Miami was long--not getting off the ship, that was a breeze, but very long customs lines.
