California Cruise - Links

Because the blog reverses the entry of our blog, here is are links to each day in chronological order. Click on the links below to take you directly to a particular day of our cruise.

Day 0 - The Beginning
Day 1 - Santa Barbara
Day 2 - At Sea
Day 3 - San Francisco
Day 4 - At Sea
Day 5 - San Diego
Day 6 - Ensanada

Day 7 was the return home. Even though it is not that far between Ensanada and Los Angeles, the winds really kicked up before we left port. The ride home was interesting, listening to the hangers slide back and forth on the rod all night as the boat rocked up and down and back and forth. It took about 3 days to finally get rid of the feeling I was still on the boat. That or there were a lot of earthquakes in Utah.

We enjoyed the trip. The people we met on board were wonderful. The family next door were fun to get to know, our table mates were very enjoyable to talk to and dine with, and the other guests were very friendly and helpful. While it was spring break, there were not a lot of children on board. We noticed quite a few older couples, all enjoying themselves. There were plenty of events to keep all ages and interests busy but we still enjoyed sitting in our cabin, munching on free food, and watching the sea go by. The only crew we had a problem with was at the passenger services desk who jumped to conclusions before he really knew what we were asking for.

DeeAnn liked the food better than I did. I have to say I was disappointed in the selections of food for non-meat eaters. Royal Caribbean seemed to have better food in my opinion. But we would definitely cruise with Princess again, even with the minor problems we encountered.

So now we plan our next cruise. Our choices are New England in the fall, Hawaii (either fly there and cruise around the islands or cruise there, see the islands and cruise home) or return to Alaska or the Caribbean. I'd love to do the Panama Canal but that may have to be closer to the time we retire.
