Creator's Key Takeaways

We are going to two new ports that we've never been to before. We're going to which one? Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas Yes.

This was definitely one of our better port day experiences. Very, very nice. Beautiful resort. Delicious food. Just a good day all around.

I would definitely say that this is probably the the best cruise that we've been on.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take your hotel shuttle if they have one to bypass traffic lines.
Utilize open house hours for kids club on day one to let kids explore with you.
Be ready 30 minutes early for elevators on embarkation day, especially if on deck two.
Bring ID for each person when using Resort for a Day passes.
Give yourself plenty of time for port excursions to avoid being left at port.

Kids club drop-offUtilize open house hours on day one to tour the kids club with your child before dropping them off.
Port excursions and transportationBook excursions through local companies for cheaper rates, but give yourself plenty of time to return to the ship.
