Christmas in Ensenada

[Dreamer115]

The family has me researching cruises for Christmas.  Can you tell me if anything would be open in Ensenada on Christmas day.  Would the excursions even run?  It's the only stop in Mexico so we would want to do something.

 

Thanks

I've never been in Mexico on Christmas day.  I have been at Mexican ports on both Easter and Good Friday.   We booked excursions for both of those days and they were completely normal.  Honestly, we forgot they were holidays.  Some friends planned to walk around the port, shop, and lounge in a local bar to watch the people go by.  They hated it because they said nothing was open.  They walked around and ended up heading back to the ship less than two hours later.

Christmas Eve - aka Noche Buena - is really the big celebration day.  While things might be a bit slower, I'll bet just about every tourist business in Ensenada will be open if a cruise ship is in town.

 

BTW - expect the weather to be cool and not really at all warm
