Ensenada Experience?

[SuzieQ521]

Hello: 

 

We have a Thanksgiving cruise next week and one of the stops is Ensenada. We were on another cruise earlier this year and chose to not get off at Ensenada but are debating visiting it this time around. *** Our day in Ensenada will actually be on Thanksgiving Day but I imagine most everything will be open?

 

We will be a big family group that includes one child (age 5), a couple teens and some elderly/physically challenged folks. Therefore, if we visit, it would just be in the close local town for sightseeing. Is there anything more to do there other than shopping?

 

Also, is there a charge for the shuttle from the port to town?

 

Thanks!

I believe the shuttle is $4 round trip per person.  If you don’t want to take the shuttle, the Malecon (boardwalk kinda) is a short walk with shops, restaurants, statues, and boats. 
 

everything should be open on thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is not celebrated in Mexico and is not a holiday.  All of the stores and restaurants will be open.  However, since you are in an area close to the border where many people from the US reside and/or visit it is likely that some restaurants and hotels will serve traditional US thanksgiving style dinners.
