Creator's Key Takeaways

Yes, the same ports your cruise line cheerfully promotes are also flagged for gang violence, kidnappings, and organized crime.

The US State Department has Bleise City under a level three travel advisory, which means reconsider travel.

Mazatlan sits in Sinaloa, a state notorious for cartel activity.
