Mazatlan, Mexico Port Reviews

Did the hop on hop off excursion and it was ok. The first stop was one cliff diver which we saw from the bus, they then came on the bus looking for tips. I wasn't planning on stopping here, but the bus stopped and stayed until after the dive was done. Spent some time at the Aquarium which was ok, but it cost $26 per person and we only stayed about 30 minutes. The last stop in the Golden Zone brought us directly to a jewelry store and shopping area. We got super annoyed at the vendors harrassing is to buy stuff, so we got back on the bus and went back to the ship. I didn't really like this port.

Mazatlan is the least exciting of the three ports visited.

Golden Zone tour dropped us at a single store where the excursion got paid to have us go in there. Not close to any Golden Zone stores. Spa resort visit was nice. Buffet could have been better. No salad dressing, no sour cream or guac for kind of dry fajitas.

Outstanding shore excursion- Salsa and Salsa! You get to make salsa from scratch and learn how to salsa dance. One of the best I've ever been on!

Didn't like the port area. All you could see where the cranes

Looked industrial. We satyed on the boat.

Just hung around the port shopping center and had some lunch and a great margarita. Chose not to do an excursion here this time.

This port is ok, we took a tour that went to the city, but was disappointed because there was only 15 minutes allocated for the city center plaza and we really could have used an hour there instead of the hour we spent at the shopping mall, which had been partially filled with shops. The tour guide Cathy and driver Hector did a great job touring us and Hector went above and beyond by stopping to show us things on the stop like the flower shop and flowers native to Mazatlan.

Love the city tour excursion I went on it was the day of the dead celebration in Mexico. Shopping for silver excellent!
