We arrived into Ensenada around noon today. I didn't expect to even get off the ship from what I had heard about from different sources but Deborah can be quite convincing. We decided that we'd take the shuttle ($2.00) into town and do a little shopping. Our guide on the bus, Roberto was so convincing in his sales pitch that we decided to take the 4-hour tour out to La Bufadore.

We've pretty much settled into life here aboard the Sapphire. Deborah is starting to figure out directions here on board boat so getting from point A to point B is slowly becoming second nature. From my perspective I’ve adapted my routine, which includes room service in the morning while we review the daily Princess Patter newsletter for activities.
