Cliffside Cantina – Ensenada & California
About this cruise
3 nights, 1 port, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Los Angeles on September 10, 2027 and visits Ensenada. With 1 port days and 1 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. Rugged coastline, sea fog rolling in, and cities that feel relaxed even when they're busy. As for the ship itself, Carnival Radiance takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Good for anyone who can't take two weeks off but still wants the cruise experience. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Los Angeles has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
