Thanks to a great birthday present from the kids (thank you Barbara, Lee, & Kyleigh!), we were able to go on this fun 5-day cruise to Catalina Island (Avalon) and to Ensenada, Mexico.
It was my first time ever in Avalon. The weather was perfect and the town was nice to walk around. While there, we took an "Ocean Power Raft" tour -a 2-hour boat trip in the channel where we saw dozens of dolphins (some right next to the boat!), sea lions, and a couple of bald eagles.
We spent a couple of hours in Ensenada -away from the majority of tourists: the civic center and a nearly new art museum.
Most of our time was spent "at sea" where we mostly ate and did a lot of "people watching."
Carnival is a great cruise company for families with kids. There is plenty to do for all.
