Mexican Riviera Weather/Temperature
Hi Jackie... How does one define a rough cruise? ...On my last return
up the Baja, I saw no end of cruisers coming to the Concierge asking for sea-sick pills. ....Now, I don't have a cast iron stomach when it comes to the ocean, but I thought: Jesus, I wonder how these people would react if the ocean was actually rough. This part of the cruise has "never" been to the uncomfortable level for me, so don't get your fears worked up. In fact, last fall the ocean was like glass all the way down. ...As for warmth, the air (at night) is definitely warmer south of Mazatlan, but I don't think you'll find a warmer place during the day than Puerto Vallarta. ...And as I metioned before, from Cabo on, I found the ocean extremely smooth. ...Jon |

Mexican Riviera Weather/Temperature
I cruise the Mexican Riviera all year long. And yes... during
the winter months the temps above Cabo up to Southern California can be on the chilly side. One thing about it though... when headed South... about an hour before you get near Cabo you cross an imaginary geographical line called the Tropic of Cancer. Meaning you have entered the Tropics... and the climate and the environment is going to be a whole different ball game... and a setting that you will probably enjoy regardless of the time of year you are there. Old timers tell me that April is the optimum month to be in that region... Oh yeh... the hurricane season is June through October... and yes I have had more than one cruise screwed up because of the storms. Hope this little knee jerk tutorial helps... Best regards Bill |

I have had more than one cruise screwed up because of the storms. I think I better ammend the above referenced statement that I made in a previous posting on this thread. "Cruise screwed up..." meaning our basic itineraries were altered in order to avoid the main storm areas. For example on one Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas seven day gig, we got as far south as Cabo... laid over there for a few hours... then headed back north to Long Beach... via layovers at San Diego then Catalina Island. The cruise and ship board life was enjoyable it's just that they have to adjust the courses accordingly under these circumstances.. I'm also one of those that thinks there is no such thing as a bad cruise... some are just better than others.
