Autumn Cruise Vacation Part 2: CRUISE Day 4

Thursday October 15th was the last day of our cruise. This was our 12 hour Ensenada day! Our ship landed in the port at about 9 AM and we didn’t leave til 9 PM. So does that mean that we hung out in Ensenada all day? HECK NO. We just relaxed for the morning…. Ventured out into Ensenada early afternoon, walked around the shops looking for some good deals to barter on. I got some jewelry, Dustin got a cowboy type hat, and I also got some Mexican vanilla! I haven’t used it yet, but I’m excited to try it out. I didn’t take my camera out at all when we were actually in Ensenada, so I don’t have any pics from off the boat. We got back on the boat early afternoon, got some lunch, and finally got to relax in a hot tub! We made friends with a little girl who’s actually from Spanish Fork! She made up games with dunking herself under water and counting how long she was down there for. Dustin also discovered that he liked going down the water slide :) Apparently it was more fun that it looked, but I couldn’t bring myself to go down it. Um, so now that I’m thinking about it, we might have done the hot tub deal the day before… I really don’t remember. Doesn’t matter anyway, right?
That afternoon there were also free cocktails in the Mikado Lounge and entertainment with the captain. We were excited that they had alcohol free beverages available for free and they kept giving us refills of them, so that was sweet! We also got to dance a little on the stage with a bunch of people. Good fun. :)
That night after dinner we were able to give a Book of Mormon to Ryan and Nicole. Ryan seemed to appreciate it so we’ll see if anything comes from it! There was a hypnotist show that evening and we went to it with our dinner friends. So they didn’t even shun us away after giving them the Book of Mormon! I was grateful for that. There was the last big jack pot bingo before the show, so Ryan bought a card and we helped him try to win…. But he didn’t win. Too bad. The hypnotist show was kinda cool… Dustin was trying to get hypnotized from his seat and it worked for a little while which was really funny!
So yeah! The next morning was departure day so we had to get off the boat! Sad day! It was a really fun cruise but definitely not long enough! Good thing our vacation wasn’t quite over yet….
