go to original March 25, 2015

There have been a few setbacks for the 1.4-billion-peso (US $93 million) cruise ship facility in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, but they appear to have been resolved and the first cruise ship is expected to arrive in the first half of next year.

Construction of the home port, so called because it will be a departure and arrival point for cruise ships, began in early 2013 but strikes by transport workers, issues with construction materials and political and environmental pressures have created delays.

...The home port will be located at Sandy Beach in Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point, a city of about 60,000 located at the upper end of the Sea of Cortés, some 100 kilometers from the U.S. border. Known as well by some as “Arizona’s beach,” Puerto Peñasco has become a popular beach destination for visitors from Phoenix, Tuscon and Yuma.
