Cruise ships seek safer harbors


Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas, Norwegian Cruise LinesNorwegian Star and the Carnival Spirit all will end their Mexican itineraries, management of all three said to be frightened away by increasing criminal violence in Mexico. Officially, the lines are moving their ships because bookings have declined, but none of the three will be returning to Mexico.
