Passengers from the cruise ship Crown Princess that was docked in Mazatlán yesterday said that El Centro was their favorite spot. The passengers said the area was calm and the people were very friendly.
Of the 3,800 passengers it was estimated that 30 percent of those that disembarked chose to spend their time in El Centro.
They favorably commented on Plaza Machado, the Cathedral, and strolling down the Malecón.
Rafael Rivera López, a well-known tour operator, encouraged local vendors not to increase their prices when the tourists request products or services. He said that tactic just hurts the city in the long run.
Rivera López also said that security for the passengers should not be reduced; noting that Acapulco is now experiencing what Mazatlán experienced a few years back and that could have a ripple effect on the city.
