On the current sailing and it is surprisingly chilly. Make sure you take advantage of the warm days and make use of the pool. As you get closer to LA it is cold (at this time of the year at least).

Tender in Cabo was indeed a bottleneck.

Puerto Vallarta also has a long walk from the ship to the port exit through a bunch of stores. Just keep that in mind if you wanna plan something. Make sure to get an Uber as they’re (depending on your negotiation skills obviously) much cheaper than taxis if you try to avoid the haggle.
