YouTube Video Description↓

Embarkation day aboard the Carnival Radiance on May 23, 2025, is the exciting start of a fun-filled getaway to Ensenada. As guests arrive at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, the atmosphere buzzes with anticipation. After check-in and passing through security, passengers are welcomed aboard with vibrant music, cheerful crew, and sweeping views of the ship’s colorful interior. Early arrivals often head straight to the Lido Deck for a burger from Guy’s Burger Joint or tacos at BlueIguana Cantina, soaking in the sun while exploring the ship’s pools and lounges. Once staterooms open in the early afternoon, guests can settle in and prepare for the mandatory safety briefing. By late afternoon, the Sail Away Party kicks off as the Radiance glides out of port, music pumping and drinks flowingβ€”setting the tone for the fun and relaxation ahead.
