We took a quick 4 day cruise on the Crown Princess in February 2016 from Los Angeles to Catalina and Ensenada.
I love a four day cruise for a short escape, makes a big difference from a three day.
Good morning Catalina Island, excited to explore.
We rented a golf cart to get around the island today. Got some great views down into Avalon and the ship anchored offshore.
The famous Casino is a landmark of Catalina.
We spent some time at Descanso Beach Club because it was such a beautiful day. Then of course we had to stop at the infamous Luau Larry’s for a tropical drink, a typical Tiki Bar. It I is supposed to be the “noisy bar in Avalon” from the Crosby, Stills & Nash song Southern Cross.
Back to the ship for a swim and my favorite afternoon tea and scones!
The Atrium of the ship is where there is a lot going on in the evenings.
Nice and relaxing day at sea.
I love Movies Under the Stars and so do the boys. Tomorrow we will stop in Ensenada.
Since Anthony Bourdain loves Le Guerrerense I had to try it too. It’s just a street cart in an unassuming area of Ensenada. It is surrounded by bags of fresh shellfish, from clams and oysters to sea urchin and snails. Their specialty is tostadas and they shuck the shellfish right in front of you, slice it up and top the tostada, then of course a fresh squeeze of lime and some avocado. It is the freshest and tastiest tostada I have ever had! We tried so many of them and they were about $3.50 each! We will definitely be back.
