l.a. to ensenada
 

We will be in L.A. over Xmas and need a family outing for a few days. Any thoughts on the 3 day cruises to Ensenada? Has anyone taken one in December?

We actually took one last January over superbowl Sunday. Surprisingly, the weather took a turn upwards, so it was quite nice. Warm enough, in fact, to lie outside in the sun, although the pool (they pump seawater into it and don't heat it) was used ONLY by really hardy kids (I SO wanted to go down that slide!). The spa on deck, though, was just fine.

The day in Ensenada was perfect.

Did you go on Carnival or Royal Caribbean? I don't think RCI operated that route last winter, so I imagine it was Carnival.

It was Carnival. Royal Carribean was only offering 7 day trips and we couldn't make the time.

Many years ago, was on a Royal Caribbean one and must say it was very enjoyable. The cruise. Ensenada itself was so-so. Hoards of cruise tourists trying to find that "cheap" little something.

Carnival caters to a younger crowd. Do they still have a contest counting how many hairs on a man's chest? Lo! So it just depends on your age - your mental age!

Have a good time! Choose a bigger ship!

So, is your definition of Royal Caribbean a bigger ship?
