jhenry1 Posted August 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2022 What options do you have if many of your ports are dropped due to violence or if the ports are completely changed and the final payment has been made? This hasn’t occurred yet but could be a possibility with all the cartel violence Baja Mexico . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhD-iva Posted August 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hmmm. Am booked on past-FP 3 November Los Angeles to Lima. Several Mexican ports. If too dangerous or scary, will stay onboard and spend my OBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It became a sea day no other option no money back. As posted above read the T and Cs. A port or two lost for what ever reason usually nothing happens except a sea day or maybe another port it they can work it out. Major changes….as in start or finish dates or mire than a couple of ports, we have never had that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatKat in Ca. Posted August 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) There has been violence in Baja and Mexico and some cruise lines have canceled ports. The October cruises on Mariner are mostly Baja and West Coast of Mexico. Ensenada, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan are all under warnings to travel.

Rare mj_holiday Posted August 24, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 24, 2022 We lost a port due to weather, and the ship was able to go to a port we had already been to that trip, but for us this was great because we had some things we didn't have time the first time around.

Rare RachelG Posted August 24, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I hadn't heard about the issues in Mexico. We have a family trip planned to Puerto Vallarta in January, and my best friend and her husband are leaving for there (same resort) today. Should I be worried? She hasn't said a thing to me about it.

jhenry1 Posted August 24, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Step notification basically do not travel to Mexico Baja area . Carnival and Royal have cancelled stops due to cartel violence. What I read was that some members of the cartel were arrested and the members are burning and attacking. There was an art iCal in The NY Times about this. If it’s not Covid it is some other issues. Very hard to make travel plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted August 25, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 25, 2022 We’ve missed ports, not really a problem—-the only time they offered something was when they change the ending port from Los Angeles to Lima. We got an offer if we stayed or a refund if we cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be worried. According to cruise law news.com the two lines are dripping their stop in Ensenada due to gang violence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UUNetBill Posted September 19, 2022 #19 Share Posted September 19, 2022 We had to back out of our January cruise from LA-Mia (with stops in Mexico) and the more of these stories I read the less upset I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChatKat in Ca. Posted September 20, 2022 #21 Share Posted September 20, 2022 And for West Coast of Mexico, there was just a 7.6 earthquake south of Puerto Vallarta and felt in Mexico City. Wonder if that will affect the cruises. Tsunami warnings for the area too Labonnevie, we aren't planning to go ashore in Mexico this cruise in any of those ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
