I'm trying to decide on a Baja cruise out of San Diego for Spring 2019 and I can use some help. It's just my DH and I and will be our second trip with DCL. The first was a 4 night Bahamas trip on the Dream. I'm excited to sail on the Wonder, especially since it's somewhat recent refurbs.
We also are using the Baja cruise as an opportunity to visit Disneyland, so there has to be time for that.
The first major question is 4 night or 5 night? With the 4 night, I have the following rough plan:
Day 1- Hollywood/LA
Day 2&3- Disneyland
Day 4- San Diego
Day 5-9- Cruise
My DH and I have both been to LA separately but never together and we are excited to potentially go at the same time.
The major drawback of the 4 night is that it only has the one stop at Cabo. The 5 night has a second stop at Ensenada. Has anyone gone on the 5 night who can speak to the value of this stop? With the 5 night we would cut out the day in LA.
My other big question is about the weather- can anyone comment on if the weather is remarkably different in March vs April vs May?
Another option I'm playing around with is seeing if there's a California coast cruise in 2019. As far as I can see, it would happen in about May as the Wonder makes its way north for the Alaskan cruises for the summer. The itineraries haven't been released yet so that's speculation. I would imagine we would do something like:
Day 1&2- Disneyland
Day 3- San Diego
Day 4-9- Cruise
Day 10-Vancouver
Anybody have any thoughts about which cruise is best?
