Review summary

We had fun on our cruise. Our adult children were shocked about the port city of Ensenada. Very poor country with showing signs of depressed economic issues. It is surprising a stop for Carnival cruises. We did no go to the blow hole we stayed in town and walked around. Sad place with small children begging.

Embarkation
