Bill and Lisa thanks for recommending Tacos Lucero! The food was amazing! Just got off the radiance visiting Catalina and Ensenada . We definitely be going back to Lucero on the next cruise.

[@billandlisa]

That's awesome! Glad you found it and tried them out. Great tacos and they're so nice. =)

I love tipsy Bill and Lisa. I'm taking that same cruise in June. Catalina is my Happy place. Can't wait to go back and have a Root beer float at Scoops.

June will be here before you know it! Have a great cruise!

[@sweetcaroline6724]

Holy moly You guys are professionals ...I have never seen that kind of day drinking and eating on top of cruise food :)

[@Christine_1075]

Yes Bill & Lisa Adventures 😍

[@mommunson]

Awesome day. Can't wait for next day.

[@dwill123]

I loved your video, thanks for posting. I gained 10 pounds just watching (and my mouth was watering). This was the cruise I was planning on taking just as the pandemic hit. Now I'm sure this will be my first cruise to start cruising again.

[@Traveladdict704]

Bill’s cheese enchiladas looked so good

[@InthenameofYeshua]

Your sister is so elegant and classy. I love her

[@michaelm.1807]

So, Linda is married?

[@thetravelingfoodies]

We are at tacos Lucero as you read this comment. Soon as we asked for ANNA they all looked at us like we were crazy. Then they said “bill and Lisa KZbin” and I was like yeaaaaahhh

[@billandlisa]

Nice!! We've been there when Anna wasn't there, but they still make amazing tacos!

[@thetravelingfoodies]

@@billandlisa omg the shrimp taco was the best. Were shouting you out in our video.

[@flot5926]

It’s so fun that Linda enjoys the same foods as you. Great vlog! And fashion credits to Bill, love that Primo shirt❣️💖🤙🏽

[@VirgoQueen823]

Hey guys my husband and I are doing the 3 day Ensenada cruise out of Long Beach. This is our first cruise ever. It looks pretty safe in Ensenada. I was concerned cause I read different reviews and some are scary. You guys make the trip look so good! Can’t wait to go the end of this month!

[@billandlisa]

Take a Carnival sponsored excursion or just stay in the touristy areas and have a great time! You'll encounter a lot of street/vendor sales people asking you to come check out their stores or show you their products on the street. If you're interested, by all means check them out. But if not, just a polite, 'No thank you' and be on your way.

[@JamesBaker-qx1cx]

I’m on the radiance 3-14. Can’t wait to cruise!

[@billandlisa]

Have a great cruise, James!

[@lisaanderson8235]

Linda is lucky to have you guys as tour guides in the ports! How fun! 😁👍

[@spillthwinesfinds1244]

Oh Lisa I agree with you the duck mole sounds so good! And the margaritas! You guys are making me want Mexican now!! Linda you look so pretty I like your hair 👩🏼‍🦳. That looks like a great trip. Enjoy you guys!!

Brave to try the water flume and love the Primo shirt at dinner!

Hallooooooo Lisa and Bill. Looks like you had a fun day.

[@markdelivery9069]

Hi Bill and Lisa! Which ship did you like best? Carnival Radiance or Miracle? Or RC Navigator of the Seas?

[@billandlisa]

We haven’t been a lot of ships, but we do love the Carnival Panorama.

[@jc2333]

The enchiladas and ice cream and soup look Good. The chicken parmigiana and pork chop looks good.

[@earleecoreas1331]

Hi great video, where do you book the tour? One cruise to Catalina and Ensenada? What months are a great time to take this cruise?

[@billandlisa]

Hello! No tour, we just walked around ourselves. This 4 day cruise stops at both Catalina Island and Ensenada. Spring or Fall probably the best weather.

[@daulphinluvr9629]

Great video!!! Just wanted to say, we just finished our 3 day on the Radiance. We went to tacos lucero to eat with Anna, came to find its been super busy there since your last video. We also went to get hot chocolate and churros from the place you discovered and they had a line like Disneyland. Lol🤗 Your influence is spreading like wild fires. Thanks for the wonderful recommendations.

[@parlayin]

That's awesome. Bill and Lisa supporting the local economy and businesses!

[@daulphinluvr9629]

@@parlayin I agree. We were sad we couldn't partake, but super happy to see these businesses thrive. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@parlayin]

@@daulphinluvr9629 oh no, you got to try neither?? Did you check out the rotisserie chicken place they highlighted in a couple of their past videos?

[@paulinamcintosh4472]

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Glad you finally made it to Tacos Lucero. Too bad Ana wasn't there. Maybe next time. Looks like y'all having a great time on this cruise.

[@billandlisa]

Yup! Had a great time! Next time we'll have to take Linda to that rotisserie chicken place.

[@Mustache_Dave]

Bill & Lisa! Keep up the great work!

Awesome running into supporters of you’re channel❤️

[@billandlisa]

Always such a pleasure!

[@amybuckman5569]

Really enjoy your videos! We’re from NorCal and have done the 3-4 day Baja cruises many times. We recently found a restaurant called 240 Grill, right off the Main Street in Ensenada. Omg! We can’t stop dreaming about it! SMOKED TUNA CEVICHE!!! You won’t regret it! We’re planning another 3 day cruise just to go back there! Lol

[@kevinfadgen]

Bill I think it's great you let Linda order you dinner at the captains Italian restaurant 😉🥂

[@kellimori1680]

Aloha Bill & Lisa! My family and I have been watching pretty much all of your episodes recently. We’re going to go on the panorama cruise soon, which is how we found you two! We appreciate the videos that you make it’s so very helpful! My husband had actually messaged you folks on Instagram. I hope to hear from you guys soon! Happy traveling!🤙🏼🌺☺️

[@billandlisa]

Is your husband, Howard? If so, Lisa got the message. Have a great cruise! We love the Panorama!

[@aliyawithaj96]

It was so nice meeting you both! Once again, another great trip review and all the food you had looked amazing. My mom, sister, and I always love visiting “Original Bullo’s Place California Tacos,” they’re amazing too! Hopefully will get to see you sometime on another cruise. ✨✨🤗🤗

So nice to meet you too! Happy we got to chat for a bit. See you on another cruise!

Love getting drunkeee in Ensenada and yummy tacos!! How fun🌞💃🤗😋🌊👍

[@mikecanett6135]

Love it.

[@calramen]

Hi Bill and Lisa. I’ve very much enjoyed your travel vlogs! On the carnival radiance, would you know if the Catalina water taxi is wheelchair accessible? I’m traveling on the cruise in a few days, and one person in the party is wheelchair-bound. Same question goes for the buses and vans at the Ensenada port. Thank you so much!

[@billandlisa]

As for the water taxi shuttle, yes, we've seen accommodate wheelchairs. As for excursion transportations, best to consult the shore excursion desk onboard for info.

[@theresathorne1030]

Peanut Butter cookies rule alllllllllll😋😋😋😋

[@deborahlewis656]

I'm not a huge fish fan; but dang y'all made it all look delicious 😋🐟

Hi guys, We love your vlogs but Linda this is a must, please when you start your vlog always say " Hellloo " we love your voice it's so cute. Thanks for being part of out daily entertainment. Terry

[@loveydovey1105]

Stop controlling people

[@lelaterry]

That was s complement. ?

[@ShawnQuish0904]

Do they sell souvenir T-shirts in Catalina?

[@billandlisa]

Yes, lots of souvenirs for purchase.

[@glavegas0010]

We were surprised that most locals were still wearing masks outside in Ensenada on Wednesday. Also, we quickly grew tired of the constant locals trying to sell stuff including the very small children. We were offered things things that would be considered illegal in California. I’m used to dealing with locals in the ports but this was over the top. Had a bite to eat at El Patio. This restaurant was nice. Good food.

[@bubbles-o72]

good vlog

[@rosaspanjol673]

“That’s a good meat ball” ,., “very meaty”…. 😂😅, I don’t know, but it sounds so funny to me!🤣..sorry guys.

We were on the radiance with you ! We sat near you for lunch one day but were to shy to say anything 🙁

[@billandlisa]

Nice! Please do say hi next time! We love meeting our viewers!

You guys have cruised to mexico more times that I can count!

[@elenarobles4437]

Will you ever have another meet up on a ship? I saw that years ago you scheduled one. I would love to cruise with y'all

[@billandlisa]

We never hosted a meet up of any kind yet. I think we joked about one in the cruise ship empty lounges and inserted some cricket sounds. lol. But, if we ever do host one, we'll be sure to announce it in advance.

[@elenarobles4437]

@@billandlisa You're right I do remember you laughing because I was an empty place so yes that's what it was.But hopefully you will host one someday!

Oh yes, those fish tacos look AMAZING! 🐟🌮 And the price is even amazing! PS: My Birthday is on the 9th, and I am going back to California and visiting the Fish Market in San Pedro!! Can't wait!

[@billandlisa]

Happy birthday, Gina!! San Pedro Fish Market is delicious! We visited the Long Beach location, have a video on it!

[@JoshRachael]

How would you compare a Coconut Margarita vs a Pina Colada?

[@billandlisa]

Pina Colada is a bit sweeter, maybe because of the rum? Coconut Margarita still has tequila.

[@JoshRachael]

@@billandlisa we will have to try

[@ekh_LA]

Hi Bill and Lisa! My husband and I have an upcoming cruise with a stop in Ensenada. We're definitely looking forward to trying Tacos Lucero 😊 Do you suggest preparing pesos or just using USD?

[@billandlisa]

Most all places in Ensenada accept US Dollars, Taco Lucero included. That said, you may save a little if paying in pesos.

[@markakira8988]

1:42 that's actually me in a giant cat costume that hangs out on the porch. That Hawaiian shirt a 9:00 is awesome. Your chicken parm looks better than my Frozen Dinner Oncor Microwave Chicken Parm I had a few weeks ago.

[@billandlisa]

Yeah, pretty sure the chicken parm is a notch above frozen. lol

[@shannonlaa5262]

Aloha Bill and Lisa, I had a question me and some classmates from High School were planning to do a quick trip to Ensenada and Catalina a week before heading to Vegas to watch the Superbowl game there. Can you do a comparison vlog on Carnival vs Royal and/or can you tell me based on your experience which one would you recommend?

[@billandlisa]

Have a look at our recent Royal cruise videos, and all 3 parts to this Carnival cruise and see what features you like best. We're partial to Carnival because we're vested in their loyalty program. That said, we look forward to cruising with Royal one day on their Oasis class ship.

[@lisamoore107]

All the food looked absolutely delicious. I do have one question and it might be none of my business but do you guys like to cook at home? If so I bet your wonderful cooks!

[@billandlisa]

We cook at home. What you guys see on video is shot on our weekends, except cruises and long vacations. lol

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Now, I am hungry for tacos.

[@sadclown14]

Bill is Tacos Lucero your favorite place to eat in Ensenada? It sounds like the best local food there is fish tacos or shrimp tacos.

[@billandlisa]

We're sure there are plenty of great taco places in Ensenada. We just stumbled upon Tacos Lucero a few years ago and fell in love with the local vibe of the place. Another local rotisserie chicken place on the Main Street in downtown is also a favorite of ours (highlighted in one of our vlogs from last year).

[@patriciag4080]

Great video! I’m sailing on Radiance at the end of the month. Quick question did you pay for your food in Ensenada with Pesos or did they take US Dollars. Thanks!!!!

[@billandlisa]

We paid with US dollars. Most all places accept USD. That said, we usually bring along pesos which sometimes saves you a little, but didn't on this trip.

[@patriciag4080]

@@billandlisa Thank you so much for the tip. I also live in LA and you inspired me to give a weekend cruise with the alcohol package a try!

We are booked on this same cruise and ship later this month! We love you guys! Have you had the ceviche at Papas and Beer? It's amazing! Also, does Lisa speak Spanish? Your accent is muy bien😀

[@billandlisa]

Haven't tried the ceviche there, only tacos and guacamole. Growing up in LA, she picked up the language pretty good.

[@sidekickchuck]

Are passports required for this cruise? Thinking of booking a grand balcony suite in two weeks.

[@billandlisa]

No, Saw some with birth certificates at check in. Best to review Carnival's official policy on their website.

[@nancyborja6768]

How did you pay for the food and drinks in Mexico? Us dollars or Mexican Pesos?

[@billandlisa]

We brought Pesos, but most all places take USD.

[@richardromero3477]

For the $15 dollars..do u get the pork chop too ?

[@parlayin]

Do you guys try to dine early when it's more empty to minimize distractions for vlogging?

[@billandlisa]

Most cases, yes. And, restaurants that have windows, better light for the video.
