Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is one of the safest cities in the world, with criminality well below that of Long Beach, CA --where Princess Cruise Lines is headquartered--, Vancouver, BC, Bermuda, Bahamas, US Virgin Islands and most other places on Earth.

Mexico is the 15th. largest country in the world, with an area of 761,606 square miles, and the alleged "wide spread violence" in the country is restricted to less than 1% of its territory and is nowhere near Puerto Vallarta.

Princess Cruise Lines, irresponsibly, has stated that it is canceling stops at Puerto Vallarta "because of continued violence" here.

PCL further states, falsely, that recent US Department travel warnings include Puerto Vallarta. Nothing further from the truth!

The US State Department travel warnings do NOT, even remotely, mention Puerto Vallarta as an unsafe place. Quite the contrary, Thomas Dale & Assoc. a US security firm with clients such as CNN, Disney, Paramount, J. Walter Thompson and many others, just concluded an analysis which determined that Puerto Vallarta is very safe.

Please join the people of Puerto Vallarta in asking Princess Cruise Lines to stop slandering this safe and welcoming city.
