Creator's Key Takeaways

We are coming into a very foggy insanada this morning.

It was a nice quiet place. The the only thing that kind of bothered us was it was kind of off the street, which was nice, but it was open.

We would go back. It was a nice quiet place.

Don't worry, Insanada, we'll be back.

YouTube Video Description

Our Ensenada port day on Carnival Panorama started in heavy fog and ended with pier runners sprinting back to the ship — and everything in between surprised us. From a foggy arrival and flag predictions to tacos, margaritas, weather drama, and a relaxing sailaway, this was one of those port days where plans kept changing… and that’s half the fun of cruising. We share honest thoughts about the port, where we ate, what we’d do again, and whether Ensenada is worth getting off the ship for — especially with Carnival’s future plans for the area. 👇 Tell us in the comments: • Do you get off the ship in Ensenada or stay onboard? • Fish tacos or shrimp tacos? 🌮 This video is part of our Carnival Panorama New Year’s cruise series, and there’s a lot more coming you won’t want to miss.
