Hi all,

This is my third cruise and I'd like to take my wife and brother/his girlfriend on an excursion or two. The only problem is, Carnival.com has none available that we'd like to go on (they were even sold out two months ago). So, my question is, how safe in general are the tours and excursions that the vendors are selling? I've heard a lot of good things about the Mazatlan beach horseback riding and the Puerto Vallarte jungle tour by people who have -not- used the cruise to book it, however am a bit worried still (since there's no real insurance if the vehicle breaks down or something).

Also, how safe is it in those areas right now? There is a lot of bad stuff happening at the border, but I think further south is OK...am I right in thinking this?

Lastly...anybody else going on this? You'll recognize me as Garth Brooks on the legends show, at least thats what I was during my last cruise (I'm really good at singing country).

Thanks in advance!

Well, never mind on the excursions. I just looked again and everything is book-able now! Must have been locked before. In any case, I booked the 4.5 hour jungle tour through Carnival for the four of us. Should be lots of fun!

So, now the only thing left to determine is if anybody else here is going on this cruise??

Me, (Sharon) , my DH and DD will be on this cruise. They are going zip lining in PV, while I park my self at a beach. In Maz, we are going to Stone Island on our own. Cabo, we will go to the beach for a bit, and maybe hit Cabo Wabo. This will be our 5th time to the Mex Riv (lazy CA folks)

Hope to meet you onboard! Enjoy

Ah, cool excursions! We may have to hit up the island in Maz too...never been there. We've been to Cabo once, did the Cabo Wabo thing, thought it was too americanized so we just hung out on the boardwalk drinking their 5 Corona's for $5 deals. That's what we'll be doing this time too :)

We are going on the same cruise only we are going in October for my birthday. Can you save your capers and post them? or email me? I would like to get a idea of what to expect. This is my first cruise.
Also if you have any suggestions on what to do in each port........
I think the only thing we both for sure want to do is the Zip line.

I haven't done it yet (will in two weeks) but I'm told the jungle tour in Puerto is a must. Also, just relaxing in cabo with their 5 carona's for $5 is awesome.
