Passengers Robbed

Cruising to Mexico suffered another setback this weekend when a group of passengers from the Carnival Splendor were robbed at gunpoint while on a nature trail tour near Puerto Vallarta. Some cruise ships no longer call at Puerto Vallarta nor at Mazatlan as a result of such incidents. Many vessels that sailed along the Mexican Pacific have been rescheduled on other routes. Puerto Vallarta is to be the venue for the Tianguis Turistico trade show about a month from now.
