Creator's Key Takeaways

I felt safer in Mazat Lawn than I did in many cities in the United States of America.

I'm concerned that a twice as big Kagnis is going to be half as good in service.

It's a really, really good ship and you will love it if you go on.

If you go from the cruise port and simply follow this blue line, you will find the safest, easiest, and most accessible way to see the sites in Mazatlan.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Follow the Blue Line in Mazatlan for a free, safe walking tour.
Book Cagney's for specialty dining if you only choose one venue.
Use the back elevators to avoid crowds when disembarking.
Do not attempt to bring fresh fruit or vegetables back to the ship from the market.
