  • The Bateman family took a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico & Catalina Island aboard the cruise ship Carnival Inspiration for Spring Break 2015. We ate well, swam, shopped and sang karaoke on board. We dipped our feet in the Pacific Ocean and rented a golf cart to explore the port of Avalon on Catalina Island. We practiced our Spanish and haggled for blankets and ponchos in the seaside town of Ensenada, Mexico. Leaving the ship, we headed for a day at Disneyland.

    Seriously one of THE best family vacation videos I've watched on CZcams. Thanks for sharing.

    I watch a lot of videos and yours was one of my favorites, you have a clear speaking voice and your dry humor is great, you have a very nice family and your daughter Tess is so adorable.
    Good job Sir

    I know this was filmed a few years ago, but one of the best family cruise videos I have seen. Your narration was excellent!

    How I wish when I was growing up my family made such videos as this one. Your children are blessed to have this resource to view their family's past.

    One of the best videos of a Carnival cruise I've seen. Thank you. I rate it 9.8. The reason I didn't give you a solid 10 is you didn't introduce your family to the viewing audience. Hopefully your next video will correct this.
    What made it for me is your narration. So many uploaded videos just have canned music and pictures...you gave a wonderful narration. And this compliment is from a Carnival Diamond cruiser.
    Thank you again for the great video and the reminder of our same cruise some years back.
    I'm subscribing and looking forward to your next family vacation aboard Carnival.
    Chris

    OMG ME AND MY FAMILY WERE ON THAT EXACT TRIP! We went kayaking for the first time at Catalina Island, and we haven’t been back since. I loved the Inspiration, we went on it at least once a year. We haven’t traveled on a cruise ship since the Miracle in January 2017, I hope ships resume soon!

Hey, I'm already near Long Beach, might as well take advantage and a Sunday departure works perfectly with my convention. Clicked on the video..and..holy cow! You're from Wyoming like me! I live in Casper. I've been on two cruises already, both 7 days on Carnival.
