Thread: Cancun during spring break season?

Why stay out of Mexico? Do you think the cartel runs around the hotels there looking to take out Americans? Cancun hasn't really been effected by the crime experienced in other locations. Unless you are a drug buyer/seller or something I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I would wait till after spring break. I was checking flights to CUN just now, they seem a little to close for comfort for a nonrev. You wouldn't really have fun knowing the loads are tight. Wait till the spring breakers get done.

I hope drswift1 was referring to the teeming hordes of drunken American teens? Could be better choice to hang with the cartel! I'd rather have sharp stick in my eye than go to Cancun on spring break!! That's like putting me on a Disney Cruise--kill me first!!!!

Let me first say that you are a brave soul to nonrev during spring break. I have done it twice - once to Hawaii and once to Florida. It's nerve-wracking to say the least. That said, if you are the party type, CUN will be great at spring break (providing you can get on and get back!). If you prefer a quiet place, you might want to rethink the destination. As to the hotel, I recommend booking a hotel in advance but make sure it is cancelable in case the flight loads change. I generally pick a place that will allow cancelation with a couple of days notice. If you can't find a place like that, you might want to find back up plans in case the flights are good but the hotels are full. Remember, this is spring break and the college kids are looking for hotels, too!
