Excursion Ensenada??

2nd Calif Coastal coming up in Oct. Last time we did the blow hole while in Ensenada. Wondering if anyone has another recommended excursion while in Ensenada??

I stay on the ship and enjoy the peace and quiet and uncrowded buffet. [emoji4]

Trip to the two wineries (Princess) is good, wine tasting and even a bottle of

wine.

I agree with the winery recommendation. We did it a year or so ago. It was fun, interesting and had good wine and food.

Can you bring the bottle of wine back to the ship? Any corkage for it?

We choose to stay on the ship.

Yes the wineries for sure. Its a beautiful place if you get out of town. :)

Past posts on other threads have indicated there is no problem bringing the bottle back on to the ship. In most cases, the cruise is about to end.

There would be a corkage fee if the bottle is brought to the dining room.

Thank each of you for your responses. Looks like the wine trip may be the answer. A couple more quick questions: 1) Can't remember - is there a shopping area at the dock? 2) For anyone who has sailed from the new berth in San Fran - do you remember how far it is from Fisherman's Wharf?

Thanks Again

Checking Google Maps it shows a 1 mile 20 minute walk between pier 27 & Fisherman's Wharf.

If you are able to walk. Is there a cab or bus for those with limited mobile?

I still cruise for Warm Chocolate Melting Cake (with 2 sugar-free vanilla ice-creams)

Yes.

We took a cab to the Estero Beach Resort which is about a 25 min. ride from the port. For $10 a piece we were able to stay as long as we liked and use all of their facilities. We had a ball. It's right on the ocean and there are plenty of lounges to sun on. They have a swim up bar in the pool and a big Jacuzzi. We had such a great time that it for sure on our list on one of our next cruises there. We would never just stay on the ship as there is lots to do in Ensenada that is fun and interesting. JMHO.

Great information! Thanks.

We weren't expecting much when we got to Ensenada, from what we read here on the boards. We were pleasantly surprised! Had a great couple of hours just walking around and having lunch.

Our next trip to Mexico stops in San Diego. We live there so we are tempted to stay on ship. We will probably just walk down to Seaport Village to people watch.

At port there is a shuttle. IIRC it's $3 RT.

Friend uses a wheelchair. The shuttle people called a taxi in for her. She is able to transfer and her wheelchair folds.

Taxi from town to port is $4.

What did you think of the "LaBufadora Adventure" aka the blow hole ??? Did you enjoy it? We are thinking of doing this excursion ourselves in January. What did you do in Catalina??? Thanks

Now that the toll road is open again, golf at Baja Mar is a nice option for those that like golf. The course is probably 20-30 minutes maximum from the port. I have never seen it crowded, it plays well, has spectacular views and is not very expensive. The bar/restaurant at Baja Mar isn't great, but is serviceable as well.

Just thought I would through this out because golf in the Ensenada area is rarely mentioned.
