I received an e-mail from Manuel with the Rissalena Cruise.  He said:

 "Please make sure  you change your  watch to Mexico´s time (we are one hour ahead? the  ship does not change it,  After disembarking, there is a water taxi to the  tender´s pier it  is  a 5 minute  ride."

This is great information to know!  I believe this should be fine for the Rissalena excursion at Cabo.  Does anyone know when the first disembarkment from the cruise ship is at Cabo?  It posts 8am-5pm for Cabo's port. 

Cindypear - what cruise date are you going on?  How old are your kids?  We are on the 7/26/08 cruise and will have a 10Y Girl and almost 9Y boy with us. They both swim and snorkel well. : ) 

Don't change your watch! The ship stays on CA time. If the ship says be back on the ship at 4:00pm they mean CA time. I know I get easily confused and it is just easier to stay on the ship time.

Thanks for the time tip JL

CA Cruiser - we are leaving 8/14, so you will have to let me know how the snorkeling goes!

We are taking our youngest boys (16 and 18) the other 3 are on their own and out of luck for a free vacation...LOL! 

I just wanted to thank you for this referral. I e mailed Eduardo to reserve three spots for my wife, 18 year old son and I, but he said no one else had booked yet and he needed a minimum of 6, but he replied again the next day to tell us we were reserved. My wife was apprehensive about booking something outside ot the normal ship excursions, but I go to Cabo often and had no worries. Everything you said is true and we had an even better bonus because the other parties cancelled and we ended up with a private charter for the three of us.
