PRC 364 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Wow. On another note, retired over here in '16 from Baytown...just up the road from you! Suzanne 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,213 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
monctonguy 1,635 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
