Mexican riviera

[dalgirl]

A crazy question. Why doesn't NCL go to the Mexican riviera in June or November? There are only a few months listed. What am I missing?

It is time to deploy the NCL ships in the Alaska market with its limited season -

the Mexican market can be done year round.

 

The shoulder season for Alaska results in a few ship positioning cruises that

combine some southern California ports with the Inside Passage ports.

 

Something for everyone - a pleasing mix.

 

Just off the NCL SUN - Vancouver Juneau Skagway Glacier Bay Ketchikan Victoria Astoria and San Francisco.

The Star will be doing the Mexican Rivera from mid December until the first of April.

Too many ships doing it.

Carnival pretty well captured the market by being there all year.

The Mexican Riv is not the favorite itinerary for many, so most ships do not sail it as much as other places. From April or early May until Sept NCL sails mainly the Med and Alaska. Why they do not sail in Nov I have no idea, probably has to do with supply and demand. For years Carnival has been the line that does Mexico Riv the most.

Thank you all for your responses. It looks like we may have to change cruise lines or itineraries for that time period . Such a shame.

June through October is the rainy season for the Mexican Riviera (Pacific side). It rains every day, and is VERY hot and humid. Sometimes the extreme heat and rain extends into November. Also - "whale season" (humpback whales) are seen December through March --definitely the best time to be there! --Sometimes mother and baby whales can be seen!! :D

That is one of the reasons I am there in December :)

Well that is a bummer since we will be there on the Bliss next October. Although, I can't imagine it will be worse than what we just experienced a couple weeks ago in Florida in October.

Can’t wait for my Mexican Riviera cruise on the Star, over Christmas, leaving in 55 days!

and I cruise in 48 days :D. I guess you will be boarding the Star when I am disembarking.

And I believe Princess does quite a few 7 day ones out of Los Angeles pretty much year round.....in case anyone is "set" on this itinerary.

 

We have done this trip over 20 times as the convenience is too hard to resist! And if NCL did it more, we could continue to do it....pretty much year round.

I have been looking for a reason to try Princess and this might be it. And late November would be a good time to go if it is dry. Thanks for the suggestions.
