First Carnival Cruise

[Chevylover63]

Im going on my first Carnival cruise in 4 days. We will be on the imagination, going to Catalina, and Ensenada?

 

Any tips??

I have cruised before, but only on princess!

Carnival will let you bring on 1 bottle of wine/ champagne per adult.

 

Since you are on a Fantasy-Class ship, there wont be as many upgrades as there would be on a bigger ship, i.e. Pride/Breeze/Glory.

 

The adults only area is free and is in prime location at the aft of the ship

 

There are no specialty restaurants on Fantasy-Classes of ships, so there shouldn't be any payments for food (Unless you get it at the coffee shop)

 

Go on expecting the cruise to be terrible, then find all the good parts about it, it makes the cruise more enjoyable

I Agee with the previous post. As far as Ensenada, don't expect lush beaches of other Mexican ports like Cancun or PV- think Tiajuna...don't waste money on an excursion here- if you want to see La Boufadora, simply hire a cab to take you there- recently had friends with six people in their party hire a driver for $50 for the whole day, took them to the blow hole, downtown for shopping, etc- much better value. Enjoy!
