We went ashore and explored the main businesses. We weren't looking for anything special. It's a lovely port with multiple businesses. We did find a few things that we wanted. 


Catalina Island (California)

We went on the Blowhole & Winery Tour. The bus trip to the Blowhole was the most interesting part of the whole tour. The Tour Guide (Melinda, Melissa?) was extremely informative. It was a fairly long trip, through many areas of Encenada, and through agriculture areas. When we arrived at the end, we walked through a village of vendors, each handing out leaflets, and telling us to stop when we came back through. 
The blowhole was a cove where the waves come in and come up through the hole in the rocks. It was okay. If you want artifacts, souveniers, pharmacy products (lots of those), and can say "No, thanks" to the vendors who surge out into the street, then go on this. Actually, the history of all of the area that was given to us was worth it. The Winery tour at the end.......not worth it. 


Ensenada

Carnival Elation - M219-Nothing wrong with it. Fairly close to the elevator that takes you up to the Tiffany buffet....(and coffee in the morning!)

Our first cruise was an Inside cabin, but we have had balconies since then.There are numerous quiet places on the ship for people who just want to relax.
