Janet, Were there any concerns about getting the fishing trip in within the time the ship was in port? We arrrive in Mazatlan at 8am on Carnival Miracle and ship departs at 5pm. Did you have a similar length of stay? Thank you.

December 17, 2017|

Answer

We were on the Carnival Miracle and booked the excursion through the ship.. So the timing wasn't an issue!
