Grand Princess: 10-Night from Los Angeles - September 25, 2026

Your cruise ends in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where the Grand Princess is scheduled to dock at 1:00 PM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Boat rides, beach time, shopping, and fresh seafood are all within reach.

Your cruise departs from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on the Grand Princess, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Cards are widely accepted, though cash is recommended for beach vendors and water taxis.

The Grand Princess will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into La Paz, Mexico. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The Malecón is the heart of La Paz, stretching along the bay with palm trees, public art, cafes, and wide views of the water.

Your ship arrives in Loreto, Mexico at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Wear sun protection and comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and outdoor excursions.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Visitors can enjoy the beaches and seaside promenades, explore art galleries and local markets, and sample regional cuisine.

Your cruise ends in Los Angeles, California, where the Grand Princess is scheduled to dock at 6:15 AM.
