Sorry Cunard Fan, it appears Mexico's west coast is cutting their own throat. It won't be long before they pull most all ships from over there, paint their smokestacks yellow, and send them to Italy as replacements. I'm surprised they haven't pulled Carnival Splendor already.

The Mexican west coast cruise from LA or San Diego is a nice trip but it may be saturated w/too many mega ships. Also California's ongoing 4-year recession (and Disney's higher fares) are not helping passenger loads.

Back in the 1970s, 80s and early 90s, there were the far smaller and pricey Sitmar and Princess ships handling the 7-day trips. In the 1980s and 1990s the budget-minded Azure Seas (ex Southern Cross) did the 3-4 day L.A.-Ensendada booze cruises.
