Review summary

Ship and staff were great. Catalina was a great port to go into but Ensenada was a wasted port. Would have liked to have gone to a cleaner place with beaches.

Just enough space but had a few issues with noise at night from the kitchen below us. They moved us to a lower floor that had a bit of an odor problem.

Ship tip

Very fun cruise. You get out of it what you put into it. Join in the events or relax outside. Your choice but I would encourage getting involved in something.

Dirty port. Water was brown and trash was all around it. Lots of people around trying to sell you stuff or just get you to feel sorry for them. Not a place I will ever travel to again. No beaches just city filth.

Were you on a lower deck? I feel like the lower decks tend to smell more. Had the same issue on Carnival Magic
