Happy Birthday!!! You are the king of cruises to Ensenada! I’m the king of Carnival cruises Miami to Key West and Cozumel. Lol Love your cabin. I had a inside with port holes I loved it. Keep us posted. Great videos.
@@TheBeachLife I love Cozumel, I remember when it only had a few small hotels and one ship a week . Key West is like a clean tropical New Orleans. Laid back , live and let live community, older community not a Miami. Multi cultural, artsy and welcoming to all. I’ve been going to Key West since the early 80s. Very EXSPENSIVE to stay there.
Our family cruises out of Long Beach a few times a year. Your videos are my go to before any cruise. You have also showed us different places in Ensenada that we hadn't checked out yet. Thank you for creating such an informative friendly channel!
Your embarkation day videos are really some of the best I’ve seen, I appreciate you posting them and sharing the information. I guess if I had one request it would be for you to incorporate a pre-cruise hotel stay and review within your embarkation day vlogs. I know you are fairly close to the Long Beach cruise terminal so a hotel stay might not be necessary, but there are thousands of people who will stay in a hotel the day before their cruise, and the information provided in one of these videos would be really helpful. My wife and I always stay at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach pre-cruise, but I know there are a lot of other choices in the area with different levels of amenities. Thanks again!
Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I typically stay at my parent's house in San Diego before most of the cruises (since I live in AZ), but I do have Embarkation Day videos that include some of my hotel stays (most recently it was the Hampton Inn and Suites - Seal Beach, here is the link: th-cam.com/video/y0QOWnZtAH0/w-d-xo.html). I also have a couple of videos from Hotel Maya (which is where I will be staying next month when I go on the Panorama with my wife and kids).
Found your page as I am taking first cruise ever in Aug on radiance to Ensenada. Travel a lot but never on a cruise. You have a great disposition for videos and speak clearly and concisely. Videos are great. One of my new fav channels do cruises. Great work and appreciate all the uploads
Thank you for those very kind words. I always feel like I can do better in my videos, but I try to keep them very simple and easy to follow (without all the "fluff" that others add to their videos). Glad you found me and connected!
Glad I added it.....I will be releasing it as a separate cabin tour video as well, but thought it would be good to add as part of the Embarkation Day video as well
I love your videos! So informative. I go on my first cruise ever on the radiance in September and i will walk on like a pro because of your videos. Thank you!
Although we sailed out of long beach several times, I really do enjoy your videos. As you always say things are always changing and I like to keep up the date because we sail again in August On the Panorama. Also, enjoy your videos of places to visit while in port at Ensenada
We have a family group going, including my 89 year old mother. Is the drop off spot with the luggage drop off the closest place for her to embark! Thank you so much for your video!
Thanks for this! I’ve been looking for a good vid on this port process, and yours is by far the most helpful, thoughtful, and comprehensive that I’ve seen. Loads of practical information for a variety of people. Thank you! Question: do you know if family of platinum members can go through checkin with them. For example, I’m red but my folks are platinum. I’ve heard people mention something about it, but I don’t know if that’s a thing or is common (or maybe considered bad form even?). Thanks for the help!
Thank you for the kind feedback. I pride myself on trying to make videos that are easy to watch and understand (and most importantly little to no "fluff"). Before I started making videos, it would bug the heck out of me watching many of these "look at me" videos where I get nothing out of it. :) ----- With that said, if you are in the same cabin, they will let you check-in and board together. If you are not in the same cabin, it depends on how strict the port person wants to be. On my recent cruise, my 3 daughters were not in our cabin, but the port employee allowed them to join me in the check-in line, but the employee in the boarding area was being a pain about it, but started getting a bunch of people coming at him and just let us through lol
Thanks for the vid and info. If my “appointment time” is 1:30pm, am I able to arrive early and board earlier with FTTF priority? Read mixed comments on this. Thanks!
Yeah, unfortunately, the reason for the mixed messages is that there isn’t any consistency between Carnival and the port staff on this message. I do know if you show up before 12, the port staff tends to be less strict with appointment times in general. With that said, you should be able to show up early with FTTF and go through the Priority Boarding line
@@TheBeachLife consistently inconsistent… story of so much in life lol. Ok appreciate the insight. Planned on getting there around 11ish so will give it a shot. Thanks!
@@silviachang6894 - Correct, not required for a majority of the Carnival cruises. Here is their website regarding this info (for reference): www.carnival.com/Legal/covid-19-legal-notices/covid-19-guest-protocols?icid=advisory_cruisehealth_072821
Great channel and subscribed! We are going on this ship on July 3rd. This will be my first cruise. My question is how is the stability of the ship? I'm a little worried of becoming sea sick.
Hello and thanks for subscribing! The stability of the ship is fine, but that doesn't mean that some people don't get sea sick (as they are not used to the regular movement of the ship). I would recommend bringing motion sickness medicine with you if you feel that you may get sea sick.
Great video my man I will actually be going on the same cruise here for the 4th. I know Carnival does not shoot fireworks off the boat. Can you see the fireworks being shot off from land while cruising?
Thank you! That is a good question. I have never sailed on 4th of July, so not sure honestly. I know they typically stay relatively close to the shore (and I believe the 4th is a Sea Day for your cruise).
Thank you for the video. My family and I are going this Monday it’s our first trip ever. Your video is real detail thank you . Quick question though after when we leave our luggage do they take it to our room or do I take it? And when I leave do I leave it in the hall way or I take it? One more thing how much was parking ?
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video. When you give your luggage to the porters outside, they will get delivered outside of your cabin (no later than 5 PM). On the last evening, you have the option to leave your luggage out (they will give you instructions on what to do) or carry your luggage off yourself the next morning. The parking is $23 a day and you pay when you leave.
Hi thank you so much for sharing! You did a very good job to provide so much useful tips!! I have a question - you mentioned your passport was beeping when they checked you because your photo wasn’t looked like you? I just wondering are they checked your passport and scan the passport as well? Because I am taking my mom’s to Carnival Radiance on 8/4 but her passport is old and has some water mark on it. So I am thinking are they really scan the passport to check? I wanted to applied for a new one for her but they time is a little tight. Please let me know when you have a moment. Thank you so much and really appreciate it for you! Have a great day 😊
You're welcome and glad you found some useful tips in the video. In my case, the photo in my passport was when I was much heavier and so the facial scan didn't match up. They would typically just take a photo of you during the initial check-in (if they don't match), but the person didn't in my case. Are the water marks covering any important information or just the photo or?
@@TheBeachLife Thank you so much for your quick response 🙏😊 Her passport looks good and the page show her information is very clear. Only the follow pages looks not very flat if you looks from the sides. Just wondering is US passport has some chips or something? So is there any chances they don’t let her onboard even all the information clearly but they can’t “scan” the passport? Thank you thank you!!!
@@silviachang6894 - As long as her information and photo are visible, she will be fine. They are just visually inspecting the passport information during the initial check-in (no scan). The scanning I was referring to was a facial scan just before you get on the ship, to make sure you match your photo.
That was an interior cabin? So spacious! I must remember that cabin 6206 next time I book the Radiance! Was the price the same as an interior cabin or more because of the space and window?
Yes, those are classified as interior cabins. This is a higher category (4J) interior, so it is more expensive than the cheaper interiors (but it was cheaper than an Ocean View cabin though)
Hey, with the sign and sail card if you’re using cash, carnival recommends $100 per person. And recommend is underlined on the website. Can I put any amount I want? Say $40
Just got off the radiance the 19th of may plan on going bck in a few months or towards the end of the year what are some good food places with authentic Mexican tacos?
I'll be going on my first cruise on the Radiance in December for my 40th (super excited). I've read that for a Los Angeles round trip to Catalina/Ensenada you just need a driver's license. Is this true?
What is the earliest time slot for embarkation? Someone suggested that because I am traveling with an individual with a cognitive disability I should wait until 1 or 1:30. What is your opinion
I believe it is 1000 - 1030 AM. They don't start the boarding process until around 11ish. Why did they recommend 1 or 130? Is it so you don't have to wait around inside the terminal?
@@TheBeachLife She gets very excited and is going to be on cloud 9 but sometimes she gets a bit anxious when she has to wait. Thankfully they have a sensory bag reserved for her
@@AnnCharlton-p2i - Gotcha! It is definitely very exciting. I have done 28 cruises and still feel that excitement every time I am there. I hope you have a great time.
Do we really have to drop off our luggages ? can we just carry them with us til we enter the ship? If not, when do we get the luggages prior going to room?
You do not have to drop them off with the porters. You can bring them on to the ship, but will have to lug them around with you until the cabins are ready at 130 PM. The luggage will arrive between some time after that (sometimes as late as 430 or 500 PM). If having your luggage is important, I would say to plan on arriving to the ship around 130 PM so you can go straight to your cabin and drop the luggage off.
@@TheBeachLifethanks. My cruise is only 4 nights next month with my 2 fam. I’ve only seen 5pm depart on my itenerary so i’m confused about arriving at 1:30pm. Would i received a notice/message what time we should go there to check in etc? It’s my first time and wasn’t expecting it’s a very long process i’m kinda intimidated 😅
I mistakenly said VIP a couple of times, but they refer to it as "priority guests". The priority guests are those that are at Diamond and Platinum level (which is accrued by number of sailing days), guests who are in Suites, guests who book a wedding through Carnival, and then Faster to the Fun (which is something you would purchase per cruise).
I hate how cruise lines have not gone back to the old muster drill. I don't like how crew members have to do multiple drills per day. It should be all once.
Sorry, but I am glad that they don't have the old muster drill anymore. It was the most miserable experience of the cruise. Standing out there on a hot and humid day, waiting on everyone to show up, and then listening to the long presentation. It's even worse when you have young children who have no desire to stand around that long.
They don’t really enforce any luggage requirements. If you plan on bringing extra luggage, and some are overweight, just make sure to tip the luggage porters accordingly
I just got off this cruise. MASSIVE fight broke out at BINGO!! Some people were upset at the numbers being called too fast. Other people were tired of hearing the complaining and the fight was on. No security to break it up. At one point it did calm down only to restart. However, some three hours later I ran into some of the people in the fight. To my surprise, no one was confined to their cabin nor any mention of the $500 fine per person. Also there was flooding on decks 3, 4 and 5. Not a little water either. I don’t see where Carnival has made any attempt to change anything with their bad reputation.
Oh wow, that is terrible to hear about the fight part and no consequences for those peoples actions. The flooding is not something they have a ton of control over, but I understand that the combination of things can leave a bad taste.
That is such a shame is carnival turning into a trash ship or what? They really need to clean up their act, or they are slowly losing customers that do never wanna go back on that cruise line again.
Happy Birthday!!! You are the king of cruises to Ensenada!
I’m the king of Carnival cruises Miami to Key West and Cozumel. Lol

To my surprise, no one was confined to their cabin nor any mention of the $500 fine per person. Also there was flooding on decks 3, 4 and 5. Not a little water either. I don’t see where Carnival has made any attempt to change anything with their bad reputation.
Oh wow, that is terrible to hear about the fight part and no consequences for those peoples actions. The flooding is not something they have a ton of control over, but I understand that the combination of things can leave a bad taste.
That is such a shame is carnival turning into a trash ship or what? They really need to clean up their act, or they are slowly losing customers that do never wanna go back on that cruise line again.
How does flooding occur?
