Going to Mexico!

[Clampram]

I just booked the Mexican Riviera on the Royal for April. This is one cruise that we have wanted for quite some time. Also got a great Thanksgiving deal of $425.00OBC, plus free specialty dining

Going to combine this cruise with a week in San Diego...yay!

Sounds like a great deal.. Enjoy your cruise.

Congrats!

Our usual travel company started their Thanksgiving promo this morning on line and the majority of the deal came from them. We also get Military credits and shareholder OBC.

I would love to squeeze in a tour at Universal if we have time - never been there either.

What week are you going??  We will also be on one of these 7 night sailings.  I've been looking forward to experiencing one of Princess's newer ships.  I know it is not even all that new anymore but compared to the Grand, she is brand spankin new.

We are going April 6th on the Royal out of LA!

Universal  Is in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles . From  the San Pedro cruise terminal you would need 1 to 1.5 hours driving time because of heavy traffic always

We are doing the 10 night Mexican Riviera cruise on Royal Princess  departing San Pedro on October 4 ,2019 . It does 5 ports vs the 3 port 7 night cruise  .It also gives us those extra days to really explore this newer ship 

[Clampram]

We may stay a couple of nights in the Marina Del Ray area prior to the cruise and then, post cruise just go right down to San Diego and fly home from there.

We were thinking it would be better to get to Universal from Marina del Ray???

We've been on the Royal and Regal and we are going on the Royal in December. We really like this class of ship

 Actually you be best off  staying nearer Universal Studios   like the Sheraton  ( was  off the 101 freeway );which  is really close to Universal  Studios . When you want to  get to San Pedro for the cruise allow at least 2 to 2.5 hours because of heavy traffic

This is so sad ... such a wonderful area to visit with some of the nicest locals.  A few bad apples have ruined it for so many now.

The seven day/3 port trip that the Original Poster  is probably taking does not go to the State of Colima.

[Sea Hag]

We're also on the 4/6 sailing. We haven't sailed on one of that class before, so we're looking forward to it a lot.

[OCruisers]

Look forward to having a wonderful time!  

[Lucky TGO]

Excellent have a great time on the cruise.

The 3 port trip includes a tour to Colima when you are in Manzanillo.  The first quote includes other areas in addition to Colima.  All I am saying is be careful ----

The Princess three port Mex Riv itinerary is Cabo, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta.  It does not call at Manzanillo or Colima, and that travel advisory does not apply.

 

Of course, one should always be aware!

That's where we stayed and it was very convenient for Universal Studios.  It's worth a visit if you've never been there. 
If you're departing on a Saturday, leave early to avoid most of the traffic.  Drive as far as you can, then stop and have breakfast to waste a little time.

It does not include a trip to Colima unless you BUY a tour that goes there and I doubt Princess would put it's passengers in known danger.  There are many, many other things to do from PV and Mazatlan than going inland.
