We also did a tour through NCL - This was not a good tour. It was the Topless Bus Tour. 2.5 hours. We were rushed through each stop except for the church and the shopping at a silver store. At the cliff dive area we were there for about 5 minutes - tops! We were rushed off the bus; told to get cameras ready because they were waiting for us so they could jump (actually one guy does the jump most of the time) the cliff diver made an announcement of what he was going to do, asked for tips - jokingly $50 or $100 dollars - not pesos - and then went and jumped I mean that was it. Came back running for his tips and off we went. That fast. We could not take pictures; walk the area, etc.. They gave us 1/2 hour at the church which I found a waste of time. No disrespect but people were actually praying and meditating at the church when the tours went through, I believe that's disrespectful, but they must be used to it. Many did leave after about 5 minutes and didn't know what to do next. The same with the Silver Store. We were told they had water for us (bottled) in the store, so we went to get water, warm water, not cold; then there was a tip jar. How tacky for such a beautiful store. Oh well. when we were finally dropped back to the ship, we went back to the ship; had lunch and then decided to go back on our own. Reason being there was so much to see; such beautiful Boardwalk; bronze statues etc.. that we were not allowed to photograph; go near; etc... So after lunch we followed the Blue line into town. Yes, there is actually a Blue line into town for tourist. We wanted to go to the boardwalk and we are sooo thankful we did. Omgosh what a great time. What great photo ops and the water. Just amazing. If we ever go back, we will do no tours, just go directly here and then grab a quick $4 US - cab to the Cliff divers. (We actually walked there) Note: If you do walk the Blue line, for a short cut - when you get to where you see an actual Arrow pointing straight - turn Left and keep going. That will take you directly to the Boardwalk, lots of shops, food, etc.. No need to follow the arrow into town. You won't regret it :)

Lots of people had me scared to get off of the ship at this port. It off and went downtown. Thought this can’t be all we are here to see. Hopped a cab to the other side of town where the beaches were for an island tour. Very nice and clean tourist area with hotels, Mazatlán sign, restaurants, beaches, and all kinds of things. We actually liked this port while everyone who only went downtown complained

Did the Salsa & salsa excursion which was so much fun. The second we arrived at the resort we were handed frozen margaritas at 9:30am which was awesome. They had everything set up when we arrived. We then sat and started making 5 different types of salsa as well as 3 different margaritas. They kept filling our glasses with margaritas all day. Then the salsa dancing was cute. I happened to win "sauciest couple" award which was fun. Then we had 2 hours free time to walk around the resort which had a fabulous pool with direct access to the beach which was literally just 10 meters away. Was a perfect day with so many fun things to do. And staff were amazing and a lot of fun considering we were drinking all day.
