Creator's Key Takeaways

I really enjoyed La Bufadora I did too I really enjoyed that burst of water it was it was really neat

the vendors are fairly aggressive there yes every everybody will ask you to buy something and they want you to try the samples lots of samples

this excursion was advertised as a 3-hour Excursion we left at 9:30 so I thought we'd be back at 12:30 giving us a little more time here in insata but we actually got back at 2:00

dinner was wonderful from there we went over to the main theater or the Liquid Lounge um and they're doing Deal or No Deal tonight

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be aware that vendors at La Bufadora and in Ensenada can be aggressive; be prepared to politely decline.
Double-check the timing for excursions, as they may take longer than advertised.
For late-night ice cream, go to the back of the ship on Deck 9 at the App Pool.

YouTube Video Description

Our Carnival Radiance Mexican cruise brings us to the beautiful port city of Ensenada, Mexico! We begin Day 3 with the "Ensenada Famous Blowhole" excursion, traveling about 17 miles south of Ensenada to La Bufadora, one of the largest marine geysers in the world. Watching the powerful bursts of water while taking in the stunning coastal scenery makes this a must-visit attraction. After the excursion, we head back to downtown Ensenada, strolling along the vibrant waterfront, enjoying the local culture, and soaking in the sights and sounds of this lively destination. In the afternoon, we return to Carnival Radiance to continue the fun onboard. A delicious dinner in the Sunset Main Dining Room kicks off an exciting evening, followed by the thrilling Deal or No Deal show in the Liquid Lounge and the high-energy Carnival 80’s Rock N Glow Party. Join us as we experience the best of Carnival Radiance and Ensenada on this unforgettable day of our Mexican cruise adventure! 📽️Carnival Radiance Day 1: Sail Away from Long Beach https://youtu.be/MBiL2xGATMU 📽️ Carnival Radiance Day 2: Catalina Island https://youtu.be/hfZOagxXYM8 📽️ Carnival Radiance Day 3: Ensenada Mexico https://youtu.be/TWW7mXQ3PVo 📽️ Carnival Radiance Day 4: Final Sea Day https://youtu.be/UV9g9fH5J-A 📽️ 10 Fears we have Sailing on the Carnival Radiance (Answered!) https://youtu.be/ohhKtYpAGo0 📽️ Carnival Radiance Porthole Cabin Tour (Stateroom 2221) https://youtu.be/0Os5XP5nMgw 📽️ Carnival Radiance Review: Our Likes & Wishes https://youtu.be/hCEZjV9D81A 📽️ Carnival Radiance Ship Tour - Full Walk Through https://youtu.be/LaBuI8qBW6E 📽️ FREE Carnival Radiance Food: What to Expect! https://youtu.be/ZcDkXHWa-IY 📽️ Carnival Radiance Fitness Center & Gym Tour https://youtu.be/xxBNssO5U1k 📽️ Carnival Radiance High Ropes Course https://youtu.be/SIOjoG5GMCw 📽️ Carnival Radiance Casino Tour https://youtu.be/egRyY5yAS5E 🛒Book a Carnival Radiance Cruise: https://sovrn.co/10feewi 🛒Book the Top L.A.
