a 4 day ensenada, mexico cruise? I leave friday and was wondering what to expect.
-
When you hit land, do not drink the water....
-
take lots of pics for us :thumbup:
-
When you get off the boat there will be people asking you to buy there crap!

And if you buy something from one...you will be mobbed!
-
hahaha yeah true
-
We took the shuttle to go see the blow hole in the rocks. it wasnt worth the 1 1/2 hr drive there
-
Another thing you will see is loooonnngggg liinnnneesss at the drug stores. You can buy shit real cheap there. When I went on one at about this time it was mostly old folk on the boat, no offense to you Ralph >:D fun to be had
-
lol yea, we got stuck in the tourist trap to go see "la bufadora" lol the blowhole. Its soo not worth it heh.
-
There is a hotel called the Bahia that has the best and strongest margaritas. I go to Ensenada every year for a week and always stop in there for a few drinks.
-
What about Hussongs. Gotta get the upside down drink :sly: :sly:
-
im not going to mexico w/out seeing a donkey show!
-
dont get your self in any trouble unless you speak the language or have familiy down there.
-
my girlfriend just got back from that trip, she left out of sand diego she is telling me as i type when you get there dont buy all u can drink wrist bands wait to see which one will best suit you...some will include food. See the place first because it might not be your type of place to spend your afternoon. because they offer them to you right off the boat those are not the ones you want. each bar has their own. most of the time 20.00 all you can drink.
-
i did the 5 day one (mon-fri)....only difference is they make a stop at catalina....i had never been there before this. man, what a boring place.
ensenada was cool....i went to the blow hole too...and i have to agree, not worth it. the shops down there are cool, but its the same crap you can find on the streets of ensenada.
i enjoyed staying on the boat the most. met some cool people too. also, dont pass up on the dinner. the food is actually pretty good and whats cool is you have an assigned table with the same people every night. you get to share your stories and get ideas of what to do. i was at a table with some really cool people and after dinner, all of us would go out drinkin/clubbin together. good times for sure. i'd do it again in a heartbeat especially with ticket costs down as low as they are now. you couldnt spend 4 nights at a motel 6 and pay for food for those 5 days for that price.

Brad you didnt do the rent the golf cart deal, I did and had a blast :thumbup:
-
Brad your saying catalina is boring? you have to experence it on your own boat.....I have had some of my best days on the island.
oh ya dont forget to buy some liquor for cheap :thumbup:

I have a friend who lives in La Bufadora, I went to his place like 15 times before I went to see the blowhole. If you're going to be in La Bufadora, you have to go to Gordo's Cantina, killer food, even better prices. Just watch out for the Tequila Vibre, it's made by one of the cooks. He's an indian from a village in the mountains above Mexico City, they make the tequila, drop in the biggest live rattlesnake they can find and put the lid on it, it's in a big ass pickle jar. Once the scales from the snake start to float, it's ready. Did I mention that the scales have some sort of nuerotoxin in them, equivalent to say, LSD or maybe Peyote. I was fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked up I can tell you that. :sly:
-
Thanks guys. We had planned on doing the la buffawhatever thingy but I wanna get out of it. The trip is for my sis's b-day. so its kinda on her terms I guess. What about on the boat. Are the bars 24/7? the casino? we are going to do our best on sneakin booze on with us Any ideas? I guess your alloud bottle of wine so we filled bottles with our usual's and we have a buddy that work's for wine down and is going to reseal them for us tonight. but the more we can take the less we have to buy.

Willow,
Everytime the wife and I go "cruising" I stuff wine bottles in socks in the luggage and fill water bottles with vodka. Just make sure to pack your own corkscrew. Never had a problem. The casino's are not open 24/7 but you can get booze anytime of the day. Have a good time.

O we will have a blast im sure, maybe we will get some cougars ::) I wish we did this thing in the summer but my sister did the planning and this time of year fell into our budget better and it didn't screw with the boating season at all. thanks for all the advice boys ill post plenty of pics when we return.

just got back from an 8 day out of SanDiego crusing ia a blast but drinks are pricey. If you order a refill on your drink you save 2 bucks a piece and beer is cheaper by the bucket. What cruise line are you taking ? We (18 of us went on the Carnival Spirirt.)the best New Years Ive ever had ::) ::)The band was from Vegas called Hi rise awsome band played till 330 am.

When went on a cruise last summer I got a case of water from Costco and took out the bottles in the middle and filled the with vodka and put them back into the case. I was careful not to tear the plastic wrap. Then I wrapped the case in duct tape to make a handle so it was easy to carry and that worked.

The boat we are on is carnival paradise. And we are disecting water bottles and coke bottles tonight...

I was on the carnival pride. I am not sure if they will let you bring sodas on board, but I know for a fact you can bring a case of water and a bottle of wine.

What's the deal with the wine bottle do we put it in our luggage or what?
-
I think they will let you bring ONE bottle. Cant remember. Just put them in socks in your luggage and you are golden.

Well we made it back alive... Kinda.. I don't think I have ever consumed that much food and alcohol in a 3 day period. The whole trip was an amazing experience. met a bunch of girls :thumbup: :thumbup: there was a batchelorette party on board that stuck with the guys and I the whole trip, which im hopin I have pictures of, my camera ended up in my buddys bag so I havent even been able to go thru it yet. We ended up doing the blow hole/winery tour which was better than I thought it would be and then ended up at papa's and beer after that. Skip I found your rattlesnake tequila guy in la buffadora But i couldn't muster up the balls to try it. all in all a great trip with a ton of memories. Im still swaying like im on the boat.. O i almost forgot I found a jetboat on board It was definatly the boat I was getting on if sh*t hit the fan.

glad you had a great time now for the pics :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
