I like the guy on the right who is sitting down. It’s hard to pull off a PIECE-OF-PIZZA HAT, but, by golly, he can get away with it.

Tax on stupidity?

Almost as bad as jet-skiing to a drug smuggling hub.

I would rather fly to Florida and cruise to the Caribbean than drive 20 minutes to the San Diego cruise terminal and cruise to Messico.

Exactly. Every stupid oblivious and/or liberal American needs exactly such a wake-up call, and many need many many more, until they either learn better or obtain the natural consequences of obliviousness/liberalism. Hopefully before they visit those consequences upon the rest of us.

“I would rather fly to Florida and cruise to the Caribbean than drive 20 minutes to the San Diego cruise terminal and cruise to Messico.”

No you wouldn’t. That is just as nuts on another level.

Ports in these Caribbean islands are like stopping off in Colon, Rep of Panama. They are filthy and of no historical value.

People who go on these so called cruises go just to eat, eat, eat, and eat 24/7. It is much, much cheapter to stay home.

There's a BIG difference between East coast Mexico and West coast. The Carribbean side like Cancun is almost like America. West coast Mexico has become dangerous.

If I were the mayors of these towns, I'd put out a hefty bounty on the bandit's heads. No cruise lines= no dollars for the local economy.

The Cruise lines should ban stops at all ports in Mexico for the next few years—that land is about to blow up big time. Better yet—let the ships stop at Cuba.
