Creator's Key Takeaways

i actually flew over to the port of los angeles to sail out of california so i did a west coast weekend cruise

it's not the caribbean so i live in south florida that's where i'm based out of um i flew over here expecting similar weather because i just flew west it was cold here

ensenada is a legitimate mexican city it's actually larger than what most of you are expecting

i found a tour company called las dunas it is where the shuttle buses actually drop you off at so if you do pay the four dollars and go to where the shows are it's super easy to find

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring jackets for colder West Coast cruises, especially in winter months
Watch the weather and pack accordingly for rain
Walk from the port to downtown Ensenada instead of taking the shuttle to save money
Stick to the first three parallel streets in Ensenada for tourist areas
Haggle for prices at the market near La Bufadora
Try tacos at Lydia's or grilled clams near the blowhole

YouTube Video Description

Weekend cruises occur all throughout the world! Most of them, occur in South Florida but you can find random weekend cruises all over! In December 2021, I found a weekend sailing on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas out of Port Los Angeles! As I love a weekend cruise, I packed my bags and headed to California where I would board the Navigator of the Seas on Friday night, enjoy a sea day on Saturday, and Sunday head to Ensenada, Mexico before returning to Port Los Angeles on Monday morning. As Ensenada was the only port, I made sure I did the best excursion there and tours La Bufadora or as it is more commonly known as "The Blowhole". 00:00 West Coast Weekend Cruise 00:30 It's not the Caribbean 01:26 Ensenada Port Overview 02:28 What to do in downtown Ensenada 03:36 La Bufadora/The Blowhole - tour company 04:36 La Bufadora/The Blowhole - TIPS 06:38 Conclusion
