My fiancé is Mexican (YES, that is the right way to say it. She is not Hispanic, Latino, South American, Chilango, or Latin American. She is a Mexican and that is the politically correct way to say it) so we had an advantage over other passengers. In the past we had never used Princess tours however I wanted my fiancé to swim with the dolphins and Princess had purchased all spots for that tour. We had tried to go through Vallarta adventures but they told us the cruise ship had purchased all the reservations. This tour is great and I recommend it to EVERYONE. It’s not every day one gets a chance to swim with dolphins.

After the dolphin tour we caught a cab and went into the downtown area. We were VERY disappointed. I had been to Puerto Vallarta in the past and have been to Mexico over ten times. This was the worst city I had been to. Besides your typically American tourist shops the city was dirty, hot, and not much to see. We heard from other passengers that the tequila factory tour, as well as the canopy jungle tour are the things to do in Puerto Vallarta. Maybe next time we will try one of those tours.
