#1 You pay more than $140 dollars per hour for what?

Port? Mexico, Carnival of all cruises?

Flashmob internet "Ship is in" messages and appear and leave.

#5 Been on that ship in that Port. Felt safer there than in Mazatlan.
I always felt the right people had been greeced to provide a safe experience on land excursions. This was not smart move if these are simply banditoes. Sort of like holding up customers in the parking lot of the Bada Bing.
If it is gang on gang or simply late fees for protection services, I know this much. My taste for Mexican Tourism is on the same shelf as Egyptian tourism or Greek.

#6 Well, if they went for an experience of a lifetime, they found it. Be talking about it for years.
