Mexico remains #1 worldwide cruise destination
Despite travel warnings and negative press, Mexico has retained its position as the recipient of the most cruise ship dockings globally. Over 1,800 cruise ships docked in the country in 2011, lending more than $500 million in both revenue and jobs to the economy. The country also saw a 7.1% annual growth in January.The tourism board estimates that five million tourists visited through cruise lines in 2011.

I went on a cruise to Mexico two years ago and I would go again. Frankly the gang violence doesn't scare me too much. I realize that anyone could be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I also feel like I'm not hitting on anyone's girlfriend (as I'm married) and not trying to buy drugs either. That eliminates me from probably 90% of the problems.
I wouldn't worry about it and I would tell people to be careful to not be hitting on the drug lord's women and you'll probably be fine.
