Short cruises are available for people whose schedules don’t allow them to be gone from work very long. Departing on a Friday and arriving back on Monday this cruise is a perfect weekend getaway. After a fun day at sea enjoying shipboard activities, such as mini golf or swimming in one of three pools, the ship arrives in Ensenada, Mexico. Ensenada was once a quiet fishing village but now is a popular tourist destination where visitors can enjoy great shopping at the Avenida Primera. Interesting excursions include the chance to learn how to cook authentic Mexican cuisine at a restaurant, or travel out of town to visit an amazing natural sea water spout that sprays nearly 100 feet in the air. Golfing, kayaking, and horseback riding are other activities for cruise passengers at this port—there’s even a tour of the Bodegas de Santo Tomas winery, founded in 1888.
