Editorial Summary

The creators document their fourth day of a cruise in Ensenada, Mexico, focusing on a wine tour excursion and their final impressions of the Royal Caribbean experience. The day begins with a breakfast at the Windjammer before they depart for a multi-stop wine tasting. They visit two different wineries, where they sample various red and sweet wines, alongside local snacks like Mexican peanut butter and chips with various sauces. After returning to the ship, they reflect on the excursion and enjoy a lunch of oxtail stew and pork ribs.

They conclude that Royal Caribbean offers superior food variety and a more relaxed, family friendly atmosphere compared to the high energy of Carnival. They specifically praise the quality of the standard buffet and dining room meals, noting that the service felt personalized due to lower passenger counts.
