this is the best thing i can tell you:

don’t talk to many people onboard.
making friends is cool, but spending all your time with them isnt.

I’m going on the same cruise in 2 weeks. Save me some dessert ; )

San Diego Old Town is fun. Catalina is beautiful. I’m taking the scenic drive excursion this time, maybe the submarine tour. The glass bottom boat tour is excellent for the cost. Ensenada is pure south of the border. I have done the blow hole, winery and city tour. When I first did them they were combined, all for $25. Now they are separate. Just remember to tell the hawkers on the streets “No, gracias” and keep walking. You’ll be fine and have a great time.

You will have to do a lot of tipping. Most of it is obvious but don’t forget your room steward, he will be your personal buttler. The tours can be cool especially if they are adventure oriented / scuba, boating, or hiking. Try and get way from the rest of the guests during shopping excursions it will probably save you a few bucks.

With all the germs on all the handrails and door handles.
“Wash your hands often, too many people in confined spaces
are getting sick. I hear it every week on the news.

I hear you may want to shop souviners in mexico..
The boat is a vacation in its self you may be able to gamble or buy pictures and souviners.
Some people like to order Cigarettes when they hear you are going… You may buy two cartons and take one pack out of the one carton because that was the limit.
Save a little money to tip bus drivers and people that clean your room. Enjoy to the Max because soon it will be a great mempry… Take plenty of pictures and if you do an under water sea excursion it it really worth it to invest in the underwater camera that is disposable..
have fun….
