Creator's Key Takeaways

we almost missed the ship I guess they didn't even hear them home too it didn't make sense cuz a lot of people were out there yeah we almost missed that would have been no passport too than that I'm not kidding

the dollar goes farther at Walmart as a lot of us know and it's a good place to get your souvenirs as well without paying uh a lot of overhead

another good tip is uh there is a bus transit uh station right in front of the Walmart here when you can kind of see the bus is all lined up going into various areas if you're willing to travel on your own you can do the research as well as it's a better place to catch a taxi than ride outside the port you'll get a better rate

Creator's Tips & Advice

Double, triple, quadruple check your all-aboard time to avoid missing the ship.
Use the bus transit station in front of Walmart for better taxi rates than outside the port.
Shop at Walmart for souvenirs to save money, as the dollar goes farther there.

YouTube Video Description

Join us on our Panama Canal cruise adventure onboard the Celebrity Summit as we share the thrilling story of how we almost missed our ship in Puerto Vallarta! 🚢🌴 After getting off late due to remote work, we mistakenly thought we had until 5 PM for all aboard, only to find out the actual time was 3:30 PM! 😲 We spent the day exploring the walkable areas near the port, including Sam’s Club, Walmart, and the Galerias Vallarta Shopping Mall. Discover the affordable Latin-themed snacks and souvenirs we found at Walmart, and join us for a meal at Vips—a casual restaurant chain in Mexico that feels like a Denny’s with a Latin flair. 🍽️ We also enjoyed delicious Boba Teas at the mall and explored various shops offering both American and local flavors. Galerias Vallarta Shopping Mall is dog-friendly, so just make sure to clean up after your furry friend! 🐶 We returned to the port area around 2:30 PM, thinking we had plenty of time, and even went Live on TikTok while relaxing under some beautiful Mango trees. Our day took a turn when bridge staff approached us at 3:40 PM, informing us that the ship was waiting only for us! 😱 We learned a valuable lesson about double-checking times and not relying solely on third-party ship trackers. 🔹 Highlights: • Exploring Sam’s Club and Walmart near the port • Shopping for Latin-themed snacks and affordable souvenirs • Dining at Vips: A Mexican restaurant chain with a Latin flair • Walking through the Galerias Vallarta Shopping Mall with various shops and food options • Enjoying Boba Teas and the dog-friendly mall • The unexpected rush to make it back to the ship on time Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to ‘Kellman Explores’ for more travel adventures and valuable tips! ✈️🗺️ #PuertoVallarta #TravelVlog #CruiseLife #KellmanExplores #CelebritySummit #TravelTips #ShoppingAdventure #cruisevlog #cruise Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvCg3FR8qua4eoE1OIu0STQ/join Shot in 4K 30fps DJI Osmo Pocket 3, iPhone 15 Edited with iMovie on MacBook Pro For sponsorships/partnerships and inquiries email: kellmanexplores@gmail.com Bundle and save with Expedia on all your travel! https://expedia.com/affiliates/kellman_explores/bundleandsave All Amazon Links: https://amzn.to/3slBUXM My glasses, I get all my prescription glasses and sunglasses from Zenni Optical. https://imp.i279709.net/rQ1JbG Flipflops: https://amzn.to/3QhzfYj Music From : https://share.epidemicsound.com/2g2lju start your free trial today!
