The Mexican Riviera - Cruising on the Diamond Princess
Pictures: Click here for Highlights from the trip
The boys gathered and descended on Princess Cruise Line's Diamond Princess for seven days of sun and fun at sea. Our first stop was Puerto Vallarta, then Mazatlan and finally Cabo San Lucas. Good times.
