🚶♀️ We kick off in Ensenada, where Christina shares a PSA about how easy it is to walk from the ship to the shops.
🥓 Back onboard, we fuel up with breakfast before getting scenic shots of both Navigator and Radiance.
⛴️ Tony shares a personal story about their very first balcony cabin—back when Radiance was the Carnival Victory!
🛍️ We head into town for local shopping, where Christina gives a Lido Lowdown on why small bills are a must when haggling.
🍔 Back on the ship, it’s time for Johnny Rockets burgers & cheese fries, a visit to the Windjammer bar, and a chat about those cruise straws.
🐸 We even hide some of our signature frogs (our twist on cruise ducks!) before wrapping up in our cabin with a laugh over a mystery towel animal and a final review of Navigator of the Seas — our first Royal sailing in over 20 years!
Whether you're team Carnival or team Royal, or just here for the food, tips, and cruise vibes — this one’s for you!
