BAHIA de ACAPULCO After two day of sailing the “Fun Days at Sea” on the Carnival Spirit our first port of call in Mexico will be ACAPULCO. Be sure you head on top deck towards the front of the ship to see a beautiful view of this circular bay as we sail in to dock. The city of Acapulco edges right up to the sandy beaches and cradles the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountain ranges. I also recommend after you get back on board in the evening to grab your camera and take a night photo of the beautiful bay and city lights from the ship. It will simply take your breath away.
Acapulco is a city with much to see and do. Your biggest decision is what do I want to do??? Take a colorful carriage ride on a ‘Calandrias’, plenty of beaches to sun and drink those fruit stick drinks, city tours, cliff divers, golf and water sports like scuba/snorkeling/ jet
skiing/kayak/rafting, deep sea fishing are some of your choices. There are also cultural tours such as fort exploration, ecological/nature adventures which are also noted through Carnival’s shore excursions. Shopping is a paradise here with boutiques (shopping malls Plaza Bahia or La Gran Plaza), galleries, small handicrafts stores and booths at open air markets (such as El Parazal/ Mercado de Artesanias, La Diana (block from the Emporio hotel close to the Diana monument in Costera) and Noa Noa market (near Playa Tamarindo) are a few highlights.
So as I said Acapulco has the largest offering of activities and choices of all the cruise ports. I’ve listed a number of websites below on Acapulco that you can explore and get yourself acquainted with what Acapulco has to offer. Now that should keep you busy!
