MEXICO CITY – A cruise line says it is cancelling stops in the Mexican port of Puerto Vallarta later this year to protect its passengers from violence.
A spokeswoman for Princess Cruises, a brand of Carnival Corp., says the company has dropped three calls in November and December.

Karen Candy said in an email statement to The Associated Press Thursday that the ships will now have longer stops in Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas.
She said the line is worried about security in Puerto Vallarta’s surrounding areas.
Puerto Vallarta port authorities said they have not been contacted by the company. Port director Alex Casarrubias said no cruises have cancelled. Other cruise ships announced earlier this year they were cancelling calls in Mazatlan, a nearby port.
