Review summary

this cruise was disappointing because of the cool weather and the fact every time I turned around somebody wanted me to buy this or that... hard to relax when you are treated like a tourist all the time... our during our Ensenada shore excursion we were hammered to buy junk constantly instead of just letting us look around and see if we liked what they had to offer...

In your review it sounds like you are unhappy with the weather and with sales people in Ensenada.  I guess you have never been to mexico before ?   Part of being in Mexico is just ignoring the people asking you to buy things.  

Weather and sales people on shore are not under control of the Cruise line. You did like the Ship,  the cabin, the food and the staff those are things under control of the cruise line,   It is not fair to give low rating for weather and sales people in port.
