Creator's Key Takeaways

We've had a lot of luck going to Cabo. We've been there several times and every single time we've had really, really nice weather.

This is not sponsored. They did not give us any money to say anything about this place.

Palomar was an excellent dining experience. Our server, Cherry, was topnotch.

The tenor process was an A+ for us on this one.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a calmer breakfast at Taste or Saver instead of the buffet.
Be ready to take a photo of the ship right away on the tender.
If you have a short day in port, focus on walking the pier and shopping.

YouTube Video Description

Day 6 of our 7-day Mexican Riviera cruise on the Norwegian Bliss takes us to Cabo San Lucas, a tender port with a short window ashore, so we’re moving fast and making it count. We start the morning with views from the ship (including Deck 17 and the slides), then share a few practical tips for a smoother Cabo day: where to grab a calmer breakfast onboard, how to get a great tender photo of the Bliss, and what you can realistically do when you’ve only got a few hours in port. Once we’re off the ship, we hit the easy shopping area near the pier, walk the marina, and head to one of our must-do traditions: Original Tacos & Beer. After tacos (including a standout shrimp/coconut option), we stop by the luxury mall supermarket for essentials and fun finds before heading back to the tender. Back onboard, we unwind at The District (craft beer and piano bar vibes), grab our favorite snack lineup at The Local, and catch a classic cruise sunset. The night continues with a quick buffet peek, a stop at the Cavern Club (plus a little “do you really need to wait in this line?” experiment), and then an excellent specialty dinner at Palomar. We wrap with drinks at Sugarcane Mojito Bar, a shopping stroll, standout entertainment with Drew’s Elton John tribute, karaoke, and one last spa moment before bed. If you’re doing Cabo on the Bliss (or any tender port), this video is packed with real-world tips to help you get the most out of a short day. Like, subscribe, and drop your Cabo questions below.
