We got off in Catalina, in order to get to Catalina you have to take a shoreboat to get there, the wait to get off Paradise was VERY long and you can't take an elevator to get down to the 3rd deck.
CATALINA IS BEAUTIFUL!! FOOD WAS SO GREAT IN CATALINA!!
Ensenada was ok. With this cruise you have to be back on the ship at 4 for Catalina and can be back by 9:30pm for Ensenada. I would rather have it flipped. I would have wanted more time in Catalina. Ensenada was very depressing to me. There were mothers with their little babies sitting in the streets constantly asking for money. One of our friends gave a little girl a $5 and then we kept walking and this other girl came and demanded more money, when she said no, the little girl started cussing at her and kicked her! Every second there are people trying to sell you SOMETHING, which is very ANNOYING. The best part are the PINA COLADAS!! SO SO YUMMY!!! :)
