Quick answer: Cruise passengers in Cabo San Lucas can get over-the-counter essentials from Pharmacy in Cabo by messaging us on WhatsApp at +52 624 409 5065 before coming ashore. We confirm your items and a hand-off point on land in Los Cabos that fits your port schedule.
A port day in Cabo San Lucas is short. Between the tender ride, a boat tour to the Arch and lunch at the marina, there is little time to look for a store if you forgot sunscreen or need something for motion sickness. This guide explains how cruise passengers can plan ahead and get the basics without losing time ashore.
How port days work in Cabo San Lucas
Most cruise ships anchor in the bay of Cabo San Lucas and bring passengers ashore by tender boat to the marina area. That means your time on land depends on tender schedules and your ship’s all-aboard time. Check your cruise line’s port information for the exact landing point and times.
Plan your order before you go ashore
- Make a short list. Write down the items you need, or take a photo of the product you use at home.
- Message us early. Send your list on WhatsApp before you leave the ship, if you have connectivity.
- Share your schedule. Tell us your expected landing time and your all-aboard time.
- Agree on a meeting point. We confirm a hand-off point on land near the marina if it is possible for your schedule.
We cannot deliver on board the ship. If a hand-off does not fit your schedule, we will tell you.
Common requests from cruise passengers
- Sunscreen such as Banana Boat Mineral Sport SPF 50 and reef-safe options
- Lip balm such as Burt’s Bees Beeswax
- Motion sickness tablets such as Dramamine Original Formula (read the label first)
- Bandages such as the Band-Aid variety pack or a first aid travel kit
- A Beach Day Survival Kit for a day at the beach or on a boat
Availability and brands can vary, so we confirm everything before dispatch.
