Beachdude Posted August 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Haven't found much on the cruise side, but we were curious how the cruise lines are dealing with the warnings. Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted August 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Maybe just like in other ports like Kusadasi, Turkey, where there were also travel warnings, there could be port changes. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted August 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Haven't found much on the cruise side, but we were curious how the cruise lines are dealing with the warnings. Burt Cruise ships stop in Cabo San Lucas which is about 20 miles from Los Cabo where the airport is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I think if the warnings continue in time some of the ports may be cancelled. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted August 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Around 2010 there was a surge in violence in Mexico. Ships just bypassed the ports . In some cases went north instead. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted August 24, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2017 For a while they skipped Mazatlan, but have since returned. Would not see them avoiding Cabo but might see more people making it a ships day and not tendering ashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgesmom Posted August 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2017 There is also a State Department warning for Cancun and Riviera Maya. There have been numerous incidents of travelers passing out or having blackouts after only one or two drinks at resort hotel bars. Some are robbed or assaulted while incapacitated. There have been several deaths. The Mexican government has confiscated large amounts of illegal alcohol. I personally would not touch a mixed drink in that area right now.

Keith Agreed - read this story and you'll understand why Acapulco is off the table as a port visit for almost all cruise ships these days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/how-acapulco-became-mexicos-murder-capital/?utm_term=.f9c267e9665e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pris993 Posted August 25, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I suspect cruise ships will continue to go as long as they are making money. Warning may have travelers book cruise line tours. We have been to Mexico so many times, we simply don't get off the ship... we go for ship experience only ... round trip out of San Francisco. Have done the cruise about 6 times, never gets old, since we only have to take a taxi to the ship San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis#1 Posted August 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Have their been any safety warnings pertaining to cruise ships visiting Cozumel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted August 25, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 25, 2017 The warning, which you can find being discussed in other threads on the forum, is a general warning about visiting the area, regardless of how you arrive.
