Thanks for the review with pix. Was on her in January, February and March. For a real adventure take public transportation to the Dome. It's an interesting way to begin your vacation. Best part--using the Passport bus in Long Beach and listening to the crew moan and groan.

 

We found the food to be good. The MDR's are never open on port days.

 

It is a 5-10 minute walk to Ensenada's main tourist street.

 

The bathroom vanity is horrible. Whoever designed it should be forced to use it everyday.

Everybody hates the button lighting on the elevators, even the crew.

Now I understand why every button is pushed. There is little contrast between pushed and unpushed.:eek:

Excellent pictorial review! :) I'm glad to see Inspiration is doing well over there. I miss her being here in FL.

Thank you for the pictures, very nice! The Atrium shots are spectacular, good eye!

 

What do you mean, "everything has to be off the floor before high tide"????

Thanks for the review. I will be on her in 17 days.

It was great seeing your pics. I was on the Inspiration January and August of this year. Always have a great time, even with the horrible bathroom sink area. :-)
