We recently returned from the Mexican Rivera, puerto Vallarta, Cabo & Acapulco.
after reading American Dirt, we considered not getting off the boat in Acapulco.
we ended up taking the ship excursions in all three places & it was fine. We explored each city & always felt safe. All tourist areas, so nothing to be worried about.
The Cartels have made life in these countries miserable for people, as their economy is suffering from reduced tourist visits.
we were on the amazing Bliss which was our favorite ship.
