Review summary

I was impressed by the personalized booklet we received prior to the trip providing us with useful information. Everything was very well organized and the staff were well trained to be nice. The excursions were very well organized, too. There were a lot of people on the ship, but I guess that's the nature of this kind of cruise.

Ports of call

Ensenada, Mexico

Bufadora is only worth seeing once due to its uniqueness, but its very crowded and dirty over there. The best thing we did was sign up for the mountain bike excursion. Our guide was excellent, the bikes were excellent, the landscape was beautiful. There is also a jeep that follows you in case you get in over your head. This was followed by a wine tasting at a very wonderful winery.

Don't Miss: The royal treatment during the mountain bike excursion followed by wine tasting. Also, loved Hussongs and hated Papas & Beers.

You should rent a bicycle and ride around at your own convenience. Rent from the vendors on the boardwalk. You don't have to worry about leaving the bike to go into a store. Don't forget to eat a buffalo burger.

Don't Miss: Del Sol has items that change color when exposed to UVA/UVB rays - its really cool! The sunglasses are a great purchase!
