Ports of call

Catalina Island, California

We enjoyed walking downtown and did a little shopping and stopped for a few cocktails. We have done most all the tours before, so just took it easy.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did a private tour, Tacos, Brews and Views. It was awesome! Great food, Tequila tasting, Beachfront Brewery and a great view of our ship and the Harbor.

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

We stayed on the Queen Mary the night before the cruise. We love the Queen Mary, a beautiful old classic ship.
