In March of 2015, my buddy and my mom took a week-long cruise out of San Diego to the Mexican Riviera on the Holland American ship Veendam.  It was a glorious trip with three stops. First was Cabo San Lucas on the tip of Baja California, MX.  The town was a tourist trap with little history and nothing but resorts and bars.  We got off the boat, ate lunch, and got back on board in ample time to watch a storm roll in just about sunset.  I enjoyed this trip so much, I’m headed back for another week!   Good food, excellent service, and a casually elegant atmosphere – I loved only have to unpack once – and still see multiple cities including Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.   Find out more about Holland America here.
