Hello! This week I thought I would let you in on a little trip my family and I are taking. We are going on a short cruise to Ensenada, Mexico! This post will be about the upcoming trip and the next one will be an update on the trip; how things went, a review of the activities, and some stories.
We are flying into LAX in Los Angeles on Thursday (yep, on Thanksgiving) and getting on our cruise ship the same day. We are taking a Carnival cruise down to Ensenada, which is located in Baja California and is about 67 miles South from the US border. We have ridden Carnival before, and my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin recently took an 8 day Carnival cruise. They are a nice, affordable cruise line, however, the largest complaint is that there is very little variety in the menu onboard. On a short trip (4-5 days or less) this is not a big deal, but for longer trips this lack of variety can become monotonous and unappetizing. For my extended family they became very unimpressed with the menu after their 8 day trip. Our favorite cruise line we have ever taken is Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), they are casual, fun, affordable, have a good menu, shows, and are an all around great time. We enjoyed NCL even more than Royal Caribbean! However, Carnival was the only line offering a trip that left from LA and was for 4 days (so we could all return in time for work on Monday). We will spend 2 days out to sea, one day in port, and 1 day to return to Long Beach Port. While in Ensenada we are taking a Segway tour of the city, then we will have free reign to go shopping, explore, and generally peruse the city. Once we return to Long Beach Port we are taking the Catalina Express out to Catalina Island and spending the day there before we catch our flight back to DIA and home. That's a wrap on the introduction to this trip, be sure to check back in next week for an update and review of the trip!
