I departed from LA and the cruise had a Day At Sea, and stopped in Catalina, California, and Ensenda, Mexico. I didn't explore LA cause I've been before but its a fun place. As for both Catalina and Ensenada I debarked both days and explored/shopped like crazy! We get dropped off in the touristy spots and they offer other adventuring options from there i.e zip-lining or travel tours. My group didn't personally do that stuff but just walking around and enjoying the view was nice.

I really adored how easy it was to get on and off the ship! I usually travel by plane so in comparison embarkation/disembarkation was like floating through the clouds; it was swift, easy, and a lot friendlier than going by plane.

In essence, the ship itself was huge. I have no previous experience with boats but this one certainly had lots of room. However, despite that, the cabins were pretty small. Although it may have just been the package I got. There were five of us in one room (three adults and two children) and it was very tight but doable. The ship itself had so many entertaining activities that we didnt spend much time in our room anyway!

Catalina Island (California)

the view was there, if u weren't emptying out the pockets for different excursions you're just going to be milling around over priced tourist shops and shooting the breeze with the locals

Ensenada

We didnt really do any of the excursiins cause it was 15$ a person and there was 12 of us. so we hung out in the streets we were dropped off at and shopped lots. the sellers can be pushy and overpriced but if you know how to haggle with them then u can get pretty decent stuff for a decent price.
