Carnival Spirit - Mexico
The Carnival Cruise Spirit also visits such cities as Ixtapa and Acapulco during its seven- or eight-day excursions to the Mexican Riviera. Sailing roundtrip from San Diego, CA-one of America's most beautiful cities-Carnival Spirit visits the Cabo San Lucas, where you can find a party just as easily as you can a quiet restaurant or spot on the beach; Mazatlan, a place where you don't have to look for ghosts to find evidence of a Mayan past; and La Paz, which La Paz means "peace" in Spanish, and has wonderful beach spots and an easygoing, slow-paced atmosphere.

| Sun | San Diego, CA | 8:00am | -- |
The 8-Day cruise visits entire different ports along the Mexican Riviera. Acapulco, while offering many man-made and natural attractions, is probably best know for the intrepid cliff divers that make perfectly timed jumps into the rolling surf beneath them. Zihuatenejo and Ixtapa, Mexico, though located adjacent to one another, are miles apart in terms of atmospheres. Ixtapa is a lively and modern city comprised of luxury resorts and residential areas residing on beautiful beaches along the Pacific coast. Zihuatanejo, an Indian word meaning "river of the yellow water," is a small bay and resort only discovered by tourists in 1940. Finally, Manzanillo, Mexico, has tons of dive sites and opportunities for sportfishing; soft-sand beaches and copses of palm trees give Manzanillo an idyllic setting.
(Note: the following itinerary is simply an example of the 8-Day Mexican Riviera cruise on Carnival Spirit; call a Cruise Specialist with Cruise Network or visit the "Cruise Search" section of www.cruisenetwork.com to verify the exact route of your cruise.)
