“Best part of our Ensenada Cruise! My wife and I booked a 2-hour couples massage in Ensenada instead of the Ship Spa. They picked us up on time as planned. It was a short drive from the ship. The spa is clean and comfortable. Our therapists were professional and very knowledgeable. Both our massages were Amazing; Great experience from start to finish! I am so glad Hani mentioned this place. We will be back every cruise!”

TripAdvisor Review from Carnival Cruisers:

Perfect Way to Start Our Ensenada Experience!!

My husband and I visited Ensenada via the Radiance. As much as we love cruising with Carnival, we do not want to pay Carnival spa prices. I searched TripAdvisor for massages in town and found Jesse's website. The positive reviews convinced me that Ensenada Massage was worth a try. Boy, were we happy that we trusted the reviews!

Our ship docked a little after 7:00 a.m. We ate breakfast and were some of the first off the ship around 8:00 a.m. I sent Jesse a message via the What's App to inform him that we were going for a walk and might not be at the meeting spot at 9:30 a.m. as planned. He responded by saying that he would pick us up at Papas and Beer.

Turns out we did meet at the original meeting spot. Claudia arrived promptly and drove us less than 10 minutes to his office. During our ride, he informally commented on the drive and answered general questions we had about the area and his journey to Ensenada. We were greeted by a nice receptionist.

Soothing sounds played in the massage room where neutral, cool colors set a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Jesse was my massage therapist and the service was exceptional. He guided me into a breathing exercise before the massage further relaxed me. My husband spoke very highly of his massage experience also!

After our massages, Claudia gave us a few suggestions for food, drinks, and shopping, and dropped us off in the heart of downtown on First Street. What an awesome experience!

Note: Jesse, Claudia, and Ena were responsive (email and text) from the time of booking until the last minute....exceptional!

When we are back in Ensenada, we will book them again. This time we will opt for the 90-minute couple's massage instead of the 60-minute massage. :-)

FAQ for our Ensenada Cruise Excursion:

What time does the Massage begin?

Booking time is the time of Massage Excursion pick-up. Total appointment time is roughly massage time plus 40 minutes until drop off. This allows about 15 min to spa, unload, use the bathroom, therapist talk, Massage time, 15 min to finish, dress, pay, and 15 min back to Cruiseport downtown.

Do I need an appointment?

Highly recommended, but not required. We take same-day appointments and walk-ins are welcome 9 - 6.

On cruise days we are often full since we can only fit 7 couples/groups a day and still offer our back-to-ship guarantee.

If you arrive and we are busy, we have a lobby with wifi, and there are great taco stands, restaurants, and meditation gardens to explore nearby.

Deposit online easily 5 hours before or call, or text us for same-day availability.

Where do you pick up?

At cruise port security or at Hussongs/Papas and Beer, and at Ensenada Hotels. The port pick-up is just outside ship security in front of a large glass building (Carocal Museum) under a huge billboard. Just an easy and safe 8-minute walk from Ship Door. After booking, your confirmation emails will have a map and photo.

Most groups plan:

• massage morning with pick up at port and afternoon drop off at downtown for shopping or Ensenada wine tasting and lunch at amazing Santo Tomas,

• A morning city tour or excursion with pick up at the port, bring you to Ensenada Massage, and drop you back at port.

When will we be back to Ship?

The total experience duration will be approximately 40 minutes more than the length of the massage. So if you book our most popular 90min, at 1 pm, you will be at ship at 3:10 pm.

• Pick up 1 pm

• 12 min to Spa

• 7 min for therapist conversation and begin massage

• 90min massage

• 9 min to wake up from massage sleep and pay

• 12 min back to ship.

Ships typically dock at 7:45, and passengers are off by 8:30, with all aboard times at 4:30. You have plenty of time to do a massage and other activity downtown or an excursion. Check your port time here:

Will we miss the ship??

No! We offer Back to Ship Gaurantee until 2.15 pick ups (2.30 coming off a tour). I have seen funny videos of people running to the ship! We guarantee you will get back, or Jesse will cover your expenses. It has never happened to our massage or excursions team in 15 years and 1000+ couples and groups.

Keep in mind the ships also use this as a marketing tactic from the ships to scare you into not trusting local businesses and booking with them and their partners (who agree to pay about 50% of the gross revenue to the cruise company).

Even if you arrive to the spa walking, we can take you back to the ship, no problem.

What if the ship changes port days or cancels?

With our No Port - No Pay Policy, no charge to you! We automatically reschedule your appointment or cancel and refund the deposit as part of our no-worry policies.

I don’t see an online option for the Package I want!

We love to customize packages, please email or call us. Or just book the time slot so we have the spa reserved for you, and email the customization you want. If you don’t like the pricing, free cancelation.

Can you pick us up / drop us off at La Primera Papas and Beer or Downtown Hotel?

Yes, just let us know when you book. We can drop you off after at Papas and Beer. For morning appointments we can easily drop you of on La Primera for shopping and walk back to ship. Mid-day and afternoon appointments we can easily pick you up from La Primera (Houssongs) after you have walked and shopped. When combined with a morning excursion, we can drop you near our spa (two blocks) for a relaxed lunch before the massage at Jesse’s favorite tacos place.

Can we walk to your Spa instead of 'Excursion pick up’?

Yes, it’s about a 15-block, 30-minute walk, so you may enjoy it if you love walking and exploring. Go to Papas and Beer on First Street and walk 13 blocks back on Ruiz. We are on the left between the 12th and 13th streets (Calle Doce y Trece) picture on contact page. The walk is safe. Here is our Google pin. Plenty of beer, coffee, and taco places along the way.

If you walk to us, we can drop you back off for $10, or if you take our ride to the spa, you can wander back on your own.

Is Ensenada Massage near the Cruise port?

Yes, We are in Downtown Ensenada, a safe clean medical area, about 15 blocks from the cruise port. Our cruise packages on this page include transportation. If you want to walk, you can book similar packages without transportation.

How do I Book a Massage and Tour package?

Usually, it works best to tour in the morning and massage in the afternoon. Your private driver will be waiting outside the spa when you are done with the massage.

Online book the tour you want in the morning, and mention the massage you would like afternoon in the booking notes. We will set it up and email confirmation pricing. We own both businesses. Claudia is in charge of Massage and Ena more in charge of Tours.

If you have any doubts; Email/Call us the exact package you want and we will make it happen.

Do you pick up from Carnival Excursion, Royal Caribbean Navigator, Disney, Princess, Odyssey of the Sea, and Norwegian Bliss?

Yes, we service all cruise lines. They park in the same cruise port, so our pick-up point is the same.

Do you have Product sales pressure like Carnival Spa?

No, we don’t sell products like the ship spas, so no product sales pitch. Just an amazing massages and kind, friendly service.

Can we all go at once in the same room?

Yes, our large couples rooms accommodate up to 6 in a room. Couples can be separated by a thick curtain, that only allows sound to pass. This allows a social relaxation experience and saves time. The ship spas are set up at higher pricing and not for groups of 3 or more. If you require separate rooms, book separately or choose 4 pack with extra room upgrade option.

Of course, you would never share a room with anyone outside your group.

Is this the same as listed on Viator?

Yes, our Viator listing is won the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence and Traveler’s Choice Award. If you prefer that platform and their customer service, please consider here:

How does this compare to Carnival Spa Prices?

We are about 65% less expensive than Carnival Cloud9, with no sales pressure. Besides price, there are other reasons to pick a local spa.

Is Ensenada Time Same as Ship Time?

Yes, Ensenada is on PST, same time as LA, SD, and most ships. Not Cabo Time.
