Welcome back to our NCL Bliss series!
Today we're taking you along for our Ensenada port day — packed with gorgeous views, waterfront strolls, Haven relaxation, margaritas, go-karts, and the kind of moments that make cruising unforgettable.
We start the morning with incredible bridge-cam views right from our Haven Courtyard Suite, followed by a relaxing French press breakfast in the Haven restaurant. Then we head ashore to explore Ensenada — including the famous bridge walkway, the marina, the MASSIVE Mexican flag, and a stop at Bar Andaluz for margaritas.
Back onboard, we settle into the Haven Bar for drinks, snacks, and some mid-day relaxation before Christina suits up for the Bliss Speedway go-karts! Sunset over Ensenada + the Carnival Firenze in the background made it even better.
We wrap the day with sail-away vibes, pier runners, and more Haven thoughts — including how we won our Haven Suite upgrade bid.
We have more Bliss videos coming, including our Sea Days and NCL Highlights!
