PRC Posted February 22, 2018 Report Posted February 22, 2018 Wow. On another note, retired over here in '16 from Baytown...just up the road from you! Suzanne 1 Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted February 22, 2018 Report Posted February 22, 2018 Playa del Carmen has definitely had some bad press here lately. Combined with the bizarre "tainted" alcohol, these incidents are giving PDC a bad rep. It's a shame, really. I always thought PDC was very quaint and I have come very close to booking a land cruise here in the recent past. These incidents have kept me from doing it and now I will probably bypass it as an option altogether. Deedeelynn 1 Quote
monctonguy Posted February 22, 2018 Report Posted February 22, 2018 Would be scary for sure...especially if you were just there for the day as part of a cruise stop and were worried about making it back to the ship! Quote
