Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get your muster station done as soon as you get on the ship to make things easier.
βœ“If cruising out of Long Beach, arrive before 11:00 AM because parking is very limited.
βœ“In Catalina, if you didn't book a shore excursion on the ship, you can book them at the Atwater Hotel for potentially better prices.
βœ“When visiting Ensenada, bring cash for bathrooms and small vendors.
