Caribbean Cruises

7-Night Mexican Riviera Cruise from $429

The turkey has long been carved and the leaves have turned their beautiful oranges and reds, and then leave (no pun intended) the trees bare as can be — you’re caught right smack in the middle of winter’s frigid weather. As an alternative this year, escape to the Mexican Riviera for an early winter cruise aboard Carnival Pride. Frio — Spanish for cold — is hardly even a word in the vocabulary of the inhabitants and visitors of the Mexican Riviera, unless you’re looking for a nice, frio cerveza (translation cold beer)! Sail roundtrip from Los Angeles to Puerta Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas on a seven-night hiatus from shoveling snow and scraping ice off your windshield.. The crew aboard Carnival Pride is as warm as the weather, and starting at $429 per person, this cruise is also a good opportunity to get some authentic southwestern gifts to give to loved ones for the upcoming holidays.
