West Coast Cruising is NOT Like the South! It Was a BUST! | Carnival Radiance 3 Day Experience
š In this weekās vlog, weāre celebrating PJās 2nd birthday with a quick 3-day cruise to Ensenada, Mexico aboard the Carnival Radiance ā but letās just say, things didnāt go exactly how we plannedā¦ āļø We made the ultimate cruise mistake: flying in the morning of our cruise. And yes ā we paid the price in exhaustion and chaos before we even left port. This was also our very first time cruising out of the West Coast, sailing from Long Beach, California ā and WOW, the vibe was way different than anything weāve experienced cruising from the South or East Coast. The crowd was much more mellow, not as hype, and honestlyā¦ kind of boring. š„± That said, there were still some highlights: š Celebrating PJās birthday at sea š¶ļø A super fun salsa-making and tequila tasting excursion in Ensenada š¢ Exploring the Carnival Radiance for the first time But overall? Weāve got to be honest: West Coast Carnival cruises might be overratedā¦ and this one didnāt live up to the fun we usually expect from the brand. šIn this video: A full 3-day cruise vlog Birthday moments with our toddler PJ Real talk about cruising from Long Beach Carnival Radiance ship highlights Our honest West Coast crowd review š§³ Donāt make our mistake ā always fly in early! šÆ Want to book your next adventure the right way? š² Book excursions & travel with us via Viator: šš½ https://www.viator.com/?pid=P00003870&uid=U00540026&mcid=58086¤cy=USD š Join our channel membership for exclusive content & travel tips for families, cruisers, and curious first-timers!
