Of course, you are paying for the experience, which included character meet and greets with Thing 1 and Thing 2, as well as Sam and the Cat in the Hat. We managed to squeeze out a seat in the back, which was obstructed by other individuals standing in front of us. This comedian was okay but not as funny as Azeem in our opinion. As lucky would have it, we did not use our bathing suits all cruise. We did not take a dip in the pools or test out the WaterWorks waterslides. To check another item off the Princess’ list, we did the Sea Day brunch today.
Best Cruises to Mexico
The two cruisers gave it their all, and the crowd was loving the antics. Returning to the pier slightly after 2 pm, we walked around browsing the port area for a few hours. We found our way to Cabo Wabo, the tequila bar owned by rocker Sammy Haggar. There were no rockstar sightings during this trip, but we did have time for a drink and a quick snack. The whale watching and harbor cruise lasted about two hours. It was advertised as “open bar”, and the staff did a great job coming around to offer people drinks.
Get to Know Carnival Panorama
Don’t be confused — the Baja California peninsula is actually in Mexico, and cruises to Mexico are a great way to explore this area. Getting there’s a snap, because it’s just south of California (California, USA, that is) and it’s all just a short trip when you cruise from Los Angeles. Cruise to Baja Mexico and enjoy Ensenada’s beaches before hitting the fashionable shops of Avenida Primera for new jewelry… duty-free, of course. Around 3 pm, we rounded up our bags and got an Uber to the airport.

For $12 a person, you have an hour to use the facilities. They organize it by age group, with 15+ being the oldest category. This meant that old and out of shape me was stuck with teens and twenty somethings that were much more fit and athletic. Ready for the day, we headed to the Horizon restaurant for this up-charge event. While it was only a $6 per person cover charge, we both agreed that the food was rather average.
Not to mention the world-class cuts at Nick & Nora's Steakhouse. There’s traditional Carnival fun too, and these fan-favorites are great news for everybody! The Mexican Riviera is a top cruise destination for good reason… in fact, many good reasons! Glorious weather, enticing ports, fascinating history and culture and so much more await along Mexico’s beautiful Pacific coast.
I may have snagged a Parched Pig IPA during this “working session”. Along with doing some social media and relaxing, we also grabbed a round of drinks from the Serenity Bar. Another location crossed-off our “drink around the ship”.
The head chef came over twice to our table to make sure we were enjoying the food and to see if we wanted to order any additional items. For a $15 per person cover charge, we think this specialty dining venue is a great casual option. On to the bus, we passed other notable stops like the flower market and shrimp market in the older parts of downtown. We then had a 20 minute stop to watch the cliff divers who jump some forty feet off the cliffs into water that is less than 5 feet deep.
This was slightly different than we expected, but it was still a lot of fun. As soon as the show was over, the staff rushed us off the island to take the ferry back to the ship. The ride back was a party scene with the staff singing and dancing, and everyone having a good time. After about an hour of listening to their set, we headed upstairs to the Serenity Party. Unlike the other parties on the ship so far, this one was a ghost town. The Princess was intrigued though as the DJ was spinning some tunes from the 90’s and early 2000’s straight off one of her mix CDs.
From here, we could see the rock formations that are a landmark of this port of call. Breakfast was similar to what you would find on other cruise lines. Though, the food preparation, timing, and service were all exquisite. It was a half hour before showtime, and the venue was already pretty full. The seating set-up in this venue is not very well designed.
