Sunny Trip ✅ 6 things you must know about the Mexico cruise
Just after the New Year, I took a three-day, three-night cruise to Mexico with my parents. We sailed from Long Beach down to the small Mexican town of Ensenada, enjoying clear weather all the way and escaping the rare rainy days in Los Angeles.
✅ Parking at the Port
We drove from Los Angeles to the port, and parking cost $23 per day, which was more cost-effective than taking a taxi. When we arrived at the port at 11 o'clock, the nearest parking lot was already full, so we had to walk for about ten minutes to a parking lot further away from the boarding area. If you're driving, make sure to allow enough time.
✅ Check-in Procedures
After booking our tickets on the official website, we received a check-in email and had to choose a time to complete security checks and a health questionnaire. It's recommended to arrive early because once you've completed the procedures, you can board the ship and start enjoying the cruise. Boarding a few hours before the departure time is like gaining half a day on the cruise! However, we had our small iron and walkie-talkies confiscated during the security check, even though they weren't listed as prohibited items online. It was a bit confusing.
✅ Room Facilities
We had a balcony stateroom, which offered a 180-degree ocean view without stepping out of the room. The room facilities were a bit outdated, but well-designed with efficient use of space. The Hollywood movie posters and decorations in the hallway added to the immersive retro experience.
✅ Cruise Experience
Whether it was due to strong winds or the size of the ship, compared to the Caribbean cruise that could accommodate seven thousand people which we had taken before, this ship, with a capacity of four thousand people, was a bit rocky. After spending some time on the ship, I started to get used to the swaying feeling. My mom is easily prone to motion sickness, but she didn't experience any seasickness this time, so chances are high that those who worry about seasickness will be fine.
✅ Wi-Fi and other information
The Wi-Fi on the ship is charged based on the number of devices, and the internet speed is sufficient for browsing social media apps like Little Red Book. I didn't try streaming shows, so I can't comment on that. I highly recommend downloading the Royal Caribbean app, which has all the information about the cruise. You can use it to check which restaurants are open, what activities are scheduled at what times, and even make reservations for onshore activities.
✅ Dining
Most of the restaurants on the ship are free, and the ones that have a fee are marked with a "$" on the app. For dinner, we chose the free main dining option. With the reservation we made during online check-in, we were able to get in quickly. If you walk in during peak hours, you may have to wait in a long line. The service at the restaurants was great, and the food mainly consisted of French cuisine. I recommend trying the various steak dishes, as they were cooked perfectly and just as good as what you would find in Los Angeles.
