Love Cruises Posted December 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2011 We received an email from our TA today saying HAL advised him that, due to safety precautions, the msROTTERDAM will not be stopping in Acapulco on our upcoming 30 day Incan Empire cruise in February. Luckily, we have been there many times. I feel sorry for those passengers who were really looking forward to visiting this port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrislc Posted December 10, 2011 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I'm actually surprised Acapulco wasn't dropped before now. From all that I've read, the violence there has far surpassed that in any other port in Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeagle12 Posted December 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted December 10, 2011 We were there in May and did a 6 hour tour with Rudy. Best tour we have ever done. My wife was uncomfortable with all the army and police trucks packed with officers armed with automatic weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madera1 Posted December 10, 2011 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2011 This week We made our final payment for our Panama Canal cruise that begins March 2 and just today received in the mail our itinerary still showing Aculpulco. After reading this I suspect that we may be getting a similar cancellation notification next month....after everyone has made final payments.

After reading this I suspect that we may be getting a similar cancellation notification next month....after everyone has made final payments.No, the cancellation notifications have already started going out. See this earlier thread, about your exact cruise: Acapulco cancelled for Mar 2 Panama Canal Cruise, and also the (already amended) itinerary on the HAL website.

DFD1 Posted December 11, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2011 OP: I'd say "No stops in Acapulco for the forseeable future" would better state the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted December 11, 2011 #9 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Sadly HAL (and other cruise lines) are dropping a couple of Mexican ports. But the cruise lines want to keep their passengers safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
