Creator's Key Takeaways

We cruise to Mexico regularly. We travel with our kids. And if we genuinely felt it wasn't safe, we wouldn't go.

If there is even a small safety concern, cruise lines will reroute. That's one of the biggest built-in protections of cruise travel.

If you really don't feel safe, stay on the ship. You will still have a wonderful time and enjoy everything that that ship has to offer.

In my opinion, yes. Cruise ports are structured around tourism. Cruise lines actively monitor conditions, and millions of passengers sail these itineraries every year.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay in known tourist areas.
Use reputable transportation and tour guides.
Avoid isolated neighborhoods.
Don't flash valuables.
Follow local guidance.
If concerned, stay on the ship.
