Ports you’ll visit
Los Angeles
Hollywood glamour, Pacific surf, and star sightings a drive from San Pedro.
Heads up: San Pedro is nowhere near Hollywood; LA sights are 35-60 min in traffic.
Cabo San Lucas
El Arco rises where two seas meet, above snorkel coves and desert cliffs.
Heads up: Always a tender port; queues can add 30+ min each way on big ships.
Puerto Quetzal
Puntarenas
Panama City, Fuerte Amador, Balboa
Panama Canal
Cartagena Colombia
Miami
Airboats gliding past gators, art deco pastels, and Cuban cafecito buzz.
Heads up: South Beach is a 15-25 min ride, not a walk from the port.
Costa Maya
Jungle temples at Chacchoben, then mojitos at a lazy beach club.
Heads up: The 'port' is a built-for-cruisers mall; Chacchoben ruins are an hour's drive.
Roatan Island, Carnival Isla Tropicale-Coxen Hole, Honduras
Belize City
Cozumel
Catamarans to starfish shallows and jungle Maya ruins across the channel.
Heads up: Only Punta Langosta pier is walkable to town; beach clubs all need a taxi.
