Carnival Cruise Terminal - Long Beach, 231 Windsor Way, Long Beach, CA, USThis is our Annual Ensenada Thanksgiving Cruise.
The 4-day Thanksgiving weekend can be sometimes too long and too boring if you are stuck at home. So why not get out of town and have a blast?!

AND WE ARE LEAVING ON THANKSGIVING!!
Best Thanksgiving EVER . . .No dishes!!
Perfect for folks with no family in town.
AND
Perfect to take the whole family out of town!!
We've all got Thurs to Sun totally off . . . So let's make the most of it.
Thanksgiving can seem a long way off . . . We have been doing this cruise for 5 years now. And each year it fills up months in advance!

ALSO
We will be doing our own activities on the boat, such as a scavenger hunt and an Open Bar Cocktail Hour. That's right . . . open bar . . . on a cruise ship!!

The BEST part are OUR shore excursions in Ensenada. And this is what will make our Meetup and this cruise different from others.
Totally optional if you want to join us! We will have our own coach and driver for our shore excursion and we will do:
- Zip Line Canopy Tour
- ATV
- Horseback Riding
We have enough time there for you to do any two.
The best way to see what it's like is to check the gallery with past pix from previous trips https://photos.app.goo.gl/b7ebjhUuL7bajLhb7
But wait!!! How about some wine? We will visit Santo Tomas historic Winery for a tour and tasting! An olive oil tasting too! We will also have time to visit to Anthony Bourdain's Favorite Street Food Cart for some ceviche!
Since we are organizing our own excursions we will be able to save from the ones offered by the cruise line.
This is an all-around great way to spend the Thanksgiving weekend.
And...this is NOT like the other meetup cruises you see.Come join us for the fun and adventure!

Tell me about food and everything else . . .
The logistics of providing food for every possible diet, as well as food prep issues is just not feasible or safe.
AND
Due to varied dietary needs and food contact issues, it's better if bring what you like and prep it.
What gear do I need?
The only specialized gear you need is Tent, Sleeping bag, Sleeping Pad (yoga mat). Everything else is household items you already have.
Special note: this is Tent camping. No RV. No Trailers. No giant campervans.
Can I park my car next to my tent?
Sniffing tires, oil, exhaust and fuel? Yuck!!! You cars will be close. But not on top of us. Cars on one side. Humans on the other. If we overflow our parking area . . . there is an overflow parking area.
Carpools?
- Carpool info goes out ONLY to paid attendees. (it really sucks to set up a carpool with a person who is not actually going)
- Carpool info ONLY goes out to those who fill out the ATTENDEES/CARPOOL FORM (this way it is reliable info)
- Carpool info goes out all at once (not as you sign on)
- Carpool info goes out 1 week before the event. Too early and most carpools fall apart. It really sucks when your ride canceled at asked for a refund a month ago but did not tell you. Carpools info sent when it is stable of who is attending.
- Carpool in week before makes sense because that's when people can really determine schedule and departure time and availability.
Refunds?
If requested 2 weeks before event start: 100% refund.
If requested less than 2 weeks: 100% Full Credit be applied to ANY future event we run.
