Actually, the Ocean Dream was Spanish-owned although registered in Malta, but its original appeal was to Mexicans who had neither passport nor visa. None was needed for cruises along the Mexican Pacific. The other route, into the Caribbean, avoided the USA, so no American visas were required. But the Spanish operator, Pullmantur, has sold its ship. Another liner, the Mexican-owned Ocean Star, proved to be unseaworthy and failed to complete its first trip.
