I have taken people to places where they pay with their credit card and almost get a heart attack.
Remember that we are in Mexico and the currency is the Mexican Peso. That means that when you get charged, you get charged in Pesos not in dollars, so that means that your lunch bill was not $700us it was $700 pesos.
When you get your bill back home, you get it converted in dollars. I have heard from many people that actually your bill is even less, due to the international rate of exchange.
Just so you all know........

Thats what I mean. So I thought the this comment would be helpful for those who do not know.
In case you bring your laptop on the cruise, and you want to use it. There is wireless internet at the food area of La Gran Plaza mall, also at McDonalds in the golden zone. Some of the hotels have it also, some is free off the air and some might require a password.
Although you probably will not go there, but they have it also at the Mazatlan airport.
If you did not bring your laptop there are plenty of cyber cafes around the city. In the terminal building at the dock, there is one, but <I think it is about 5 us an hour. Outside across the street inside a supermarket, they have computers and it is about 1 or 1.50us and hour. In the golden zone it is probably about 4 to 5us an hour. >But still it is less then on the ships....

Wow, those are great prices!!! Thanks!!! I might upload some pictures that day so this helps!
Frank - we are coming to Mazatlan in October 2009. How far ahead do you book tours and what do you recommend seeing and doing? We aren't daredevils and we don't do anything like scuba diving. We enjoy history, city tours, and things that are out of the ordinary. Thanks!

Did you email me already? Please do so I can check. Gracias!
Hola amigos
I have had this question many times but it is always nice to answer it. People are always concerned about the water to drink.
The water in Mazatlan, is not purified from the tap. It is for washing and bathing but not for drinking. Even us locals, we drink bottled water that they sell by the big jugs. It is 16 pesos for one of those. You can also put in a system to your house but people just prefer buying a few jugs per week.
As for restaurants, things have changed because they want your business.
Before they would not care and just want your money. Now they would like to have you there for breakfast lunch and dinner.
So I would say that most of the restaurants are good with purified water and ice- If you get sick with a margarita, it might not be the ice, but, all the tequila in there!
