Sailing Away

Holland America ships will not be putting in at either Mazatlan or Acapulco during the next few months, scared away by threats of violence. This year, 117 cruise calls have been canceled in Mazatlan while Acapulco saw 33 visits called off. Acapulco has also suffered by a 70 percent decline in international arrivals at the airport. And now Disney has canceled four sailings from Los Angeles to Mexico’s Pacific Coast ports. No reason was given.
