Creator's Key Takeaways

the margaritas are stronger in Mexico than the Cru ship for sure sure this is worth the money

we felt pretty safe so far and there's tons of shopping on the back side here where we just were

it's a beautiful day we're literally the worst the water slides are on

we think we have some late people we haven't left yet but all on board was 5:30

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring cash for shuttles and shopping as many places are cash-only.
Use crosswalks in Ensenada as cars go fast and you have limited time to cross.

YouTube Video Description

Join us as we explore Ensenada, Mexico, during our 4-day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas! 🛳️ We started the day with the loud cries of sea lions as we pulled into port early in the morning. The pier was filled with wildlife—mostly sea lions—and we even saw one up close! 🦭 However, the smell drove us to explore other parts of the port. Following local advice and crew recommendations, we stayed near the port area, enjoying a scenic walk along the bay of Ensenada. The views were beautiful, and the area was full of shops and restaurants. We stopped at a local favorite, Birrieria La Guadalajara, for delicious food and margaritas, just a short walk from the port! 🌮🍹 After lunch, we explored a nearby park filled with monuments honoring veterans and historic Mexican figures. One statue even had bees inside, with a warning sign to watch out! 🐝 We did a little shopping before heading back to the ship for our last night onboard Navigator of the Seas. Our evening was topped off with a fantastic seafood dinner at Hooked, the ship's specialty dining restaurant. To our surprise, we spotted humpback whales outside the window—what an incredible way to end the cruise! 🐋 Thanks for watching our Catalina Island and Ensenada adventure aboard Navigator of the Seas.
