That is part of the major issue - the only ports that seem to be alternate ports would be San Diego, Catalina, San Francisco, Seattle......
NONE of which would be comprable to the Mexican Riv.....and also the cruise fares. Taking a cruise to SD/Catalina/Ensenada (technical stop) is a MUCH cheaper cruise than the one that we booked - so the cruiseline, in effect, is profiteering (making an unreasonable profit on the service they are delivering) off of those on these cruise.....for example when hurricanes hit, and people were charging $10 for a small bottle of water, they went to jail for doing things like that. I mean, really, the cost of the fuel alone to go to Catalina/SD/is MUCH lower than what the fuel would cost to go to Mex Riv.
I agree with the cruiselines taking all precautions to keep everyone safe and healthy, I do not agree with them not communicating with their passengers (Princess specifically), and so far, NOT giving their passengers the option to cancel the cruise, or offering a reduction in cruise fare to a more reasonable fare for the cruise we will be getting, rather than the one we paid for.
