janabm81 Posted February 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Ohhhh that's not good. It will be interesting to see what all cruise lines do about this one. Will also be interesting to see how the Mexico government does about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbxtech Posted February 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Seems to me that it is unsafe to go to Mexico except for maybe Cozumel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rottweiler Puppy Posted February 24, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Will also be interesting to see how the Mexico government does about it. Lol, nothing effictive anyway. Mexico has been and always will be one of the most corrupt nations ever, I bet at least a handful of the robbers were tied into local LE somehow.

Martini Mom Posted February 24, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2012 My itinerary already has 2 days in Cabo. What are they going to do now? Take out PV and make it a 3 day cruise to Cabo?! I hope not. Btw, we live in a very affluent part of South Orange County, CA. DH's store was just robbed at gunpoint last night around 8pm. Bad stuff happens everywhere.

Kokopelli2 Posted February 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 24, 2012 3 days in Cabo for the 7-day Mexican Riviera cruises! :rolleyes: Of course they won't be able to call them Mexican Riviera cruises anymore, they will be Baja California cruises!

karenh1127 Posted February 24, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 24, 2012 There is really no reason to think Coz is any safer. Mexico is controlled by the drug cartels and they are everywhere! Be safe fellow cruisers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know! I am finally getting south of Baja and now I'm afraid to open my email and find a letter from Carnival removing PV from the itin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNUZULOOSE Posted February 24, 2012 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2012 If this keeps up, the west coast wont have much for sailing.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waldos Posted February 24, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 24, 2012 That is really unfortunate. So glad nobody was injured and Carnival seems to be taking a very responsible role in the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesuffering Posted February 24, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 24, 2012 thats the zip line tour right? i almost chose that one for our cruise this upcoming week. hopefully the las caletas tour is safer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyZ Posted February 24, 2012 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've been to Puerto Vallarta, and I am not surprised. It was not safe 25 years ago, and is probably worse today. My DW and I cruised there on our honeymoon 25 years ago and vowed never ever to cruise the Mexican Riviera again. We are now on our 12th cruise and have managed to not go back. Cozumel is in a totally different category and no one should feel unsafe there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted February 24, 2012 #17 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I waved goodbye to Splendor on Sunday-- who knew this cruise would be making the news (AGAIN)? I think the Splendor is jinxed-- NY can have her!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCLNCLRCICRUISER Posted February 25, 2012 #20 Share Posted February 25, 2012 That is really unfortunate. So glad nobody was injured and Carnival seems to be taking a very responsible role in the situation. While not physically injured, being robbed at gunpoint can have some long term psychological harm. Hopefully, those effected will seek out counseling if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazelle2 Posted February 25, 2012 #23 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I predict that, within a year or two, the only cruise destinations from the West Coast will be Hawaii, the South Pacific, and Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonnie&clydecruzers Posted February 25, 2012 #25 Share Posted February 25, 2012 So much for the safety/peace of mind your supposed to get when you book a ship sponsored tour. I'm very curious what Carnival plans are for PV. It might soon be a Baja California cruise with 2 days Cabo and 1 day La Paz. Or would they dare go 3 straight days to Cabo. I can't imagine how scary that is to be trapped in a bus with masked gunmen robbing everybody. I guess they're really lucky they didn't hijack the bus or injure anybody. The guide should of told the bus driver to not stop and just FLOOR IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
