Description: This is our first time staying on the ship while in port. We've been to Catalina Island a couple of times before but we didn't plan to not get off. In fact, the plan was to get off and get Wickey Whacked at Luau Larry's. But instead, we hung out and got some of the ship's atmosphere in us. Check it out!!!!
