Oh my. Maybe I should have stayed on the ship! I know we needed to stop somewhere and I really didn't care about seeing a casino or winery. We walked two downtown blocks. Happy to get back to our beautiful ship! ...
Ensenada was much better than our last trip, did not expect that! They really need to clean up the river area, when the tide went out the river bed was full of trash and tires, not good. ...
not much here, cleaned up some, main purpose was free wifi and McDonald's or Starbux.
NO reason even to stop here sadly, legal requirement on old Jones act before docking in LA ...
Ensenada: We walked to the Riviera of Ensenada, an old luxury hotel that is completely free to tour and have a bar that is famous for their Margaritas that only cost a few bucks. I enjoyed the walk and especially the cost. They have vendors in the courtyard selling many items, even hand made for your souvenirs for cheap.
We then walked over to watch the fountain show synced with Latino and ...
Looks nice from the ship. The smell of open sewers is disgusting and turned us off from going anywhere to eat or drink. Grabbed a couple of souvenirs and hightailed it back to the ship especially after a man and woman were pushing their toddler children begging. Felt bad and did buy a nice bag from the woman. ...
What you would expect from a Mexico town. Street vendors every 2 steps plus the shop workers all trying to get you to buy from them. Just a nice No Thank You would discourage them. The bus to shopping strip was $4usd round trip, or a 1/2 hour walk.
The port there is very nice. Seals were sunbathing on the rocks. There is a large Mexican flag and fountain park area just beside the port. ...
We just got off the ship for a short while to go shopping at the little area right outside the ship. We've been to this port before and there's really not much to do other than shopping. ...
Surprisingly cleaned up port city. Well worth the walk through the downtown shops and bars and enjoy the FRESH fish tacos and some local beers. No more beggars and children---laid back shop keepers. If you know your Mexican art and sculpture and dressware, it's there. ...
