Holland America Line News: Spring 2011 Mazatlán, Mexico Port Calls Cancelled


Statement

At Holland America Line, the safety of our guests and crew is our top priority. As such, for the remainder of the 2011 Spring cruise season we are replacing Mazatlán on our published itineraries as follows:
ms Oosterdam 7-day cruises departing March 12th, 19th, 26th and April 9th and 16th will now feature two days in Puerto Vallarta with an overnight on day three. The April 2nd departure will instead overnight in Cabo San Lucas on day four.

The 10- or 14-day sailing on ms Zaandam departing April 10th and ms Oosterdam departing April 23rd will now call a second time in Cabo San Lucas on day six.
Affected guests and travel agents are being notified of the itinerary changes above.

Discussions will continue with local authorities in Mazatlán to determine the appropriate time to resume port calls there. Should future itinerary changes be made, affected travel agents and guests will be notified at that time.

Apparently an announcement has JUST been made regarding cruise line returns to Mazatlan.

(Sorry, the last link is in Spanish from the local Mazatlan newspaper, but it contains a lot of information of interest).
