Take a Cruise on the Mexican Riviera

A very affordable get-away for LGBT people living in California, and especially Southern California is taking a Cruise to the Mexican Riviera. Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines is one of opportunities and several companies assist in booking group reservations. One such booking company is www.VacationsToGo.com which assists in getting group rates at steep discounts on Royal Caribbean vacations.

You will board the beautiful Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas in wonderful San Pedro Harbor, just 30 minutes south of Downtown Los Angeles. The registration and check in is very easy and you can even bring your vehicle and park it in the gigantic parking lot right in front of the ship. There are stewards who help you with loading your bags and it’s a hassle free situation.

As you board you join more than 3,400 others along with 1,500 cruise staff for seven days down to Mexico. The ship is 14 decks of beautiful, sun filled cabins and ship sun drenched areas, a casino, a disco, several restaurants, an ice skating rink, rock climbing and much more. There are activities every hour on the ship for whatever your taste may be.

On day one, you will be at sea while you cruise down to beautiful and scenic Cabo San Lucus. You will enjoy the seals and sea wild life while doing hour-long boat rides to the cliffs which line the bottom of Baja California. Have lunch on the Shores at any of the local eating joints. Then it’s off to Mazatlan, one of the favorites of the Mexican Rivera. You will pull right into the doc and walk right off onto the shores. There, you can hang out at the beach or go into the historic downtown area and check out the local living. You can take daily tours or grab a cab and walk the streets on your own. There are several museums of interest and scenic views of the city from high above. Your next stop is Puerto Vallarta, the LGBT capital of the Riviera. You take a trip down to the Gay Beach, marked by Blue Chairs bar and restaurant. The Spanish style of Puerto Vallarta architecture coupled with the West-Hollywood openly gay atmosphere will make your feel right at home. The people are friendly and very easy on the eyes.
