Booze Cruise = Bad Cruise?

Dear Jen and Tom,


Last week my husband and I went on a cruise to Mexico for our honeymoon. Our destination itinerary included: Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. Little had we known that many college students would be on spring break at the same time. During our week of vacation, there would be crazy drunk kids running around screaming in the middle of the night for 7 days. This was absolutely unbearable and it was just our luck that we somehow got stuck on the floor where they were all living. One time, we had even witnessed two guys “play fighting” in their boxers in the hallway. This was way too much for me to handle, so we decided to try and have our room switched. We went to guest services and they tried to switch our rooms but there were no more rooms available left in our category and the only way we could switch was to a presidential suite and it would cost way too much out of our budget, so we decided to stick with it. They promised they would speak to the guests that were misbehaving and give them warnings. That didn’t help much since they had so many rooms; they just kept moving from room to room. This was a complete nightmare.


When we finally got to port, we were so relieved to finally be at peace but we were wrong. They seemed to have followed us everywhere we went, or so we thought. There were spring breakers at every port causing a ruckus. We wish we had booked it through a travel agency and had the advice given to us about the timing and destination of our choice. We obviously did poor planning and our ignorance of the travel industry brought our honeymoon to the gutter. Next time, we will most definitely go to a travel agent to help us choose a more romantic way to re-do our honeymoon.



Sincerely,

Annie and Zack
