Seven Seas Grandeur: 16-Night Cruise from Los Angeles - January 24, 2027

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, from 7:00 AM to 2:30 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. Boat rides, beach time, shopping, and fresh seafood are all within reach.

As a smaller vessel, the Seven Seas Grandeur means a quicker disembarkation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. The Malecón is Puerto Vallarta's iconic waterfront promenade.

Your ship arrives in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala at 8:00 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. Stroll through Puerto Quetzal's markets to discover colorful produce, handmade crafts, and traditional Guatemalan goods.

You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Puntarenas, Costa Rica, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 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. Cruise ships dock at Puntarenas port, conveniently close to the city center.

Arriving in Cartagena, Spain at 11:30 AM with only 6 hours hours before your 6:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. The Roman Theatre is Cartagena's star attraction and an impressive one.

As a smaller vessel, the Seven Seas Grandeur means a quicker disembarkation in Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Seven Mile Beach is famous for its soft white sand and calm turquoise water.

Your ship arrives in Miami, Florida 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. South Beach offers iconic white sand, clear water, and lively beachfront promenades.
