On the fourth day of the Disney Wonder Cruise we took recently, (click here and here to see the prior posts) we woke up to see the beautiful sunrise and the land's end of the Baja California Peninsula outside from our veranda!
We decided to have an early light breakfast in the concierge lounge of the upper deck before departing for an excursion into the town of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and a cruise of the Gulf of California also known as the Sea of Cortez.
The Disney Wonder Cruise ship set anchor off the coastline so we had to tender off the ship on a ferry into the town. Cabo has many luxury resort hotels and we saw many expensive yachts in the port, as well as seals sleeping on one of the docks.
We boarded a large catamaran ship and cruised along the shoreline. This was the second time my husband and I saw these beautiful sights as we took a Princess Ctuiese in 2017 that also visited Cabo San Lucas--click here-- to see that post.
The scenery was beautiful!
This time it was special to share the experience with our daughter and granddaughter!
We sailed to the land's end and then the catamaran made a turn around to the Pacific Ocean side of the Baja California peninsula.
There was a fun pirate extravaganza celebration on the top deck that evening and a delightful Disney show in the ship's theater. When we returned to our suite, exhausted after a long day, we found our blanket was shaped into a pirate accompanied by gold coin chocolates and was wearing its own red scarf which made us smile! It was the end of a perfect day!
Here is a short Youtube video of the view we had on the lands end of the Baja California Peninsula from the Pacific Ocean side:
There are many beaches on both sides of the peninsula and also along the Mexican coastline east of the peninsula.
After our catamaran sail was completed and we were back in Cabos San Lucas, a bus took us to the second half of our excursion, which was a beachside cafe and lounge area. There we were served lunch --we had delicious fish tacos. Our granddaughter was able to play on the beach and wade in the water.
She had a wonderful time!
When we returned to the Disney Wonder it was time for dinner. It was a special "Pirates of the Caribbean" night and everyone was given a red scarf to wear. The restaurant waiters and many of the passengers were in full pirate costumes which were fun to see. Dinner was a selection of seafood and everything was fabulous! The best part was that the waiters brought a special dessert for our granddaughter and sang Happy Birthday while the other patrons in the restaurant clapped. She was so excited!
The next day we sailed all the way back to San Diego, another day at sea, and that will be my next and last Disney Cruise blog post. Thanks for following along so far!

Hello,
I have heard a lot about Cabos San Lucas, it is a popular place to visit.
The scenery is beautiful, I love the beach, rocks and arch. Cute photos of your granddaughter and family. The food does look delicious. A great trip.

I'm really enjoying coming along virtually on your cruise. I've never been to that area of Mexico and need to add it to my long, long to visit list.

This was just great Pat -- I'm quite impressed with how well Disney does this cruise for all generations! Playing on the beach in mid-winter was quite a different experience for your Coloradoan granddaughter! The whole cruise was certainly a perfect time for all four of you.
