Efficient getting on and off ship. Port is a little far from the town proper, but cabs were plentiful and were $15-20 each way (and we didn't haggle). Mazatlan is a good mix of new and old. Beaches are excellent -- much better than P.V., IMO. ...
We always love Mazatlan. This happened to be the last day of Carnival so many streets were closed for the parade. WE made our way to our favorite places and back to the ship early not to get caught in the parade traffic. ...
Shore excursions got a bit pricier and shorter. Had 8 hours there and beach excursion stopped after only 4.5 hours. So pay attention to the time better than I did. Working port so have to take transport that everyone wants tipped on.
Nice shopping before getting on the ship. Drinks. Well done. ...
At this port, we took the hop on, hop off bus. The bus drove past some poor and run down areas, and instead of being put off, I found it refreshing to see something other than an area only for tourists. We had a lovely lunch at a beachside restaurant. ...
Excursión salsa salsa salsa was fun and we were treated royally. Anyone wanting to meet people and enjoy learning how to make multiple salsas you will surely like this event. We were at a great hotel and could swim afterwards. The good served was delicious and plentiful. Drinks galore. ...
We have walked downtown and it’s fairly interesting but not great. The Mazatlan port is very industrial, but they do have a nice cruise terminal with lots of shopping and a great outdoor place called Green Bar where you can get drinks and really good tacos. ...
