7 Night Mexican Riviera Cruise on Dawn Princess

In and around Mexico

For our 1st wedding anniversary, we decided to try cruising.  Neither of us had cruised before.

We did a 7 night cruise with Princess cruiseline.  We were on the Dawn Princess, which is a smaller ship in the fleet.  Our intinerary included 3 days at sea and 3 days at port.  Our ports were Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta.

The cruise was very relaxing.  No cell phones, no computers...we were forced to slow down a little.  We ate so much food, now we know why they say you gain weight on cruises.  We are already looking forward to cruising again.
