Location of cruise ship terminal
The cruise ship terminal is at the north end of the hotel zone. It is adjacent to the Crown Paradise Hotel, formerly known as the Playa de Oro. The Krystal Hotel is very near by.

The Marina Vallarta area is at the north end of the harbor area and the cruise terminal is at the south end. So hotels such as the Westin, and Marriott are north of the cruise ship terminal. It is a short taxi ride to that area.

Just FYI - The Playa de Oro is now known as Crown Paradise Club Resorts, and the Crown Paradise is now known as the Golden Crown Paradise... These two properties are now own by Senor Salvador Onelas Jr... Onelas Sr is going to keep all the properties in Cancun....

And the cruise ships are right there when they come into dock, or they drop anchor just outside the harbor in front of our resort...

from the harbor area, the Krystal is like two blocks away... and a lot of the other excursions leave from this same port....

That link I posted above will also show you the 2006 schedule:

It looks like the schedule for cruise ships in port during February is quite light compared to some months. That could change, but you do have stretches of days where there are no ships in port, or only one in port.
