The little trolley that runs down San Pedro's Harbor Blvd, from the cruise dock to the marina.
The elevator in the Grand Atrium at the center of the ship.
The view from our cabin when we embarked (12/21). The drydocked Queen Mary is on the right; the dome on the left used to be the home of Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose. It's now used as Carnival's cruise terminal.
Our perfectly lovely and comfortable cabin (Main deck, midships). Not pictured: The screeching 10-year-old boys in the room across the hall who stayed up past midnight on the last night (which is the night before you have to vacate your room by 7:30 the following morning).
You're in Mexico. Any questions? (Is that not the biggest honkin' flag you've ever seen?)
Proof (sort of) we were in Mexico. It says "Ensenada Cruiseport Village" on the dock.
Dawn breaks over the Queen the morning we debark (12/24).
It was a lovely trip. A note to Erin: You were right... the "day at sea" was the ship going in circles just south of the Channel Islands. It's such a short distance from Long Beach to Ensenada, where the hell were we going to go? Still, at day at sea, even sailing in circles just far enough off shore to keep the shopping and the casino open, is a lovely way to spend a day.
