Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're taking a cruise to Mexico, you really do need to be paying attention to this.

The situation is extremely volatile and it's very unsafe.

As for me personally, I wouldn't be concerned.

Even a bad day at sea is better than a good day at land.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pay attention to gang violence in western Mexico affecting cruise ports.
If a port is canceled, expect a substitute port or sea day.
Remember that port fees and taxes are refunded if a port is canceled.
