We felt safe in Fort Lauderdale last year but didnt stay out much past dark or go far from the hotel.
Things are tough, I would not wander around Miami late at night, as I not famaliar with it. Not to beat the dead horse, but so is everywhere. Do not let those statistics ruin your vacation, use common sense, that's all. One of my co-workers went to Mexico recently and had a great time in Acapulco, and things over there are not easy also. Just be aware of your surroundings like someone wrote here. This does not mean you have to stay inside the ship, not at all. I have never seen things this bad for so long and i think everyone that lives here agrees with me, i have seen the poll numbers. Puerto Rico is going thru the worst of times and statistics do not look good if you compare them to other latin & caribbean zone countries, including Jamaica. Sadly, some of the things you say are true. With a population of under 4 million people and a murder rate of almost 475 victims this year alone, Puerto Rico is geared up for another blockbuster year and possibly hitting 1000 murders this year.įor anyone possibly thinking about a cruise that stops in Puerto Rico, I strongly suggest that they thoroughly investigate and only choose those areas that will provide security to your families ! Violence towards tourist are rarely mentioned in the lovely brochures that Carnival provides to its customers, and since most Carnival ships arrive into San Juan late in the afternoon and most cruisers will hit the island during night hours, I honestly believe that Carnival should provide more accurate information regarding violence in Puerto Rico directed towards tourist.
I believe that this is a false statement that Carnival is telling potential customers as murder is happening to everyone including honest business owners, families and now apparently tourists. When booking a cruise through Carnival and inquiring about the safety and current murder rate in Puerto Rico, the Carnival agents are directed to inform potential cruise customers that Puerto Rico’s murder rate is due largely to drugs violence only.
