I had not heard of STEP before. I’ll take a look, thanks. Interestingly enough, this was also in the article “In the advisory, would-be travelers are warned they may not be able to seek help from the U.S. if something goes wrong.”. And, “The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is prohibited or restricted.”
That said, we’re not in fear — just wondered if Princess was responding to the State Department’s recent warnings. That’s all. And, I think most everyone would know if you don’t feel safe in some port, you wouldn’t get off, lol. Common sense. Cruising is a great way to travel.
