Clampram Posted November 18, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted November 18, 2018 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.

Rare Cruise Raider Posted November 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2018 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.

mcrcruiser Posted November 19, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 19, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clampram Posted November 19, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted November 19, 2018 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??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted November 21, 2018 #18 Share Posted November 21, 2018 The seven day/3 port trip that the Original Poster is probably taking does not go to the State of Colima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not call at Manzanillo or Colima, and that travel advisory does not apply. Of course, one should always be aware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many, many other things to do from PV and Mazatlan than going inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
