Creator's Key Takeaways

We definitely within I want to say the first 36 hours said we are never going to sail on Carnival again.

The dog never paid me any mind. No, no worries. Whatever. Sure. Mhm. If you say so.

It's called the serenity deck. Serenity. Serene. It's supposed you're supposed to be up there relaxing.

We wasted almost an hour of our time that we could have been on our way home dealing with that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Grab a shuttle in Ensenada instead of booking excursions on the ship.
✓Bring more cash than you think you need for port purchases.
✓Use a porter for disembarkation to skip long lines.
✓Avoid the empanadas on the ship.
✓Check the liquor pickup process carefully to avoid issues.
