Hacienda Nights – Ensenada & Cabo

About this cruise

5 nights, 2 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Los Angeles on April 1, 2027 and visits Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 2 stops with a breather between each one. Zip-lining, beach tacos, and water warm enough that you don't think twice about jumping in. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 13 restaurants on Carnival Radiance, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
