My children 8/12 and I had a amazing vacation on this 3 night cruise. We loved the great food, clean rooms/ ship , and super friendly staff all over the ship. This was my 2nd trip on this cruise route and it couldn't have to be better. Thank you Carnival

Review summary

We had a wonderful time and so much fun. The food was so good, the ship and rooms were clean and good smelling. The pools, activities were fun and overall we loved our time on the Carnival Radiance. The only 3 things I didn't like was that customer service desk staff are rude, the internet availability is way to expensive and the scrambled eggs at the breakfast buffet are awful.

Ensenada, Mexico Did not visit port

We didn't go on land because the fees they charged were way to high and only cash was accepted

What do you mean "the fees they charged were too high" to visit Ensenada? They don't charge extra to get off the ship in port. And there are no requirements to take a ship sponsored excursion. You can just get off and explore on your own. My husband and I do it all the time. It is 100% safe to do so in Ensenada.
