Law everyone should know before going
There is a Law called the Jones Act, that I think everyone should know that the cruise line fails to aware the public! The Jones Act says that coast wide trade is illegal in the US, and will not passengers board in a US port if they do not return to that US port. Basically, we missed boarding our cruise in LA, due to flight delays, and decided to board at the next stop in San Diego, and because we were not returning to San Diego,,,,, we were forced to disemabark the ship in in an international port, Mexico. So Royal Caribbean had no problem stranding 2 young females in another country, but fail to let us know of this Law when we purchased the cruise.
