Sailed 12-14-08 out of San Diego, CA to Acapulco, Ixtapa and
Manzanillo. Carnival was great (food, staff & ship). A
couple of the shore excursions were not good. Forget the
Acapulco Beach Break unless you enjoy being continually
pestered by locals trying to sell you cheap junk. They
continually pestered us on the beach to the point it was not
enjoyable. Also beware, the Deep Sea Fishing Excursion in
Ixtapa is a crap shoot. For the $130+ price tag per person,
they need to be able to more consistently allow the
customers to land a big fish. On our charter boat of 6
people, only 3 caught anything and those 3 fish were tiny.
This excursion was supposed to be to land a big Tuna, Shark
or other Sailfish. Indeed that was a disappointment! Also
the charter boat guide was less than interested in his
guests or the experience they were having. I would not
recommend that excursion. The Manzanillo Colonial Tour
however was excellent!! Worth every penny. Hope this helps
someone!
