Cruisin'!

Friday morning dawned warm and slightly less breezy in Long Beach so Amy, Bonnie and I took the opportunity to walk along the beach enjoying the sunshine and sand between our toes.

On the advice of our hotel staff we headed over the the Long Beach pier and checked in at the Carnival Cruise office early. We didn't just wait around to board though, we had plenty of things to occupy ourselves with ~ especially this big gal!





The Queen Mary is permanently docked in Long Beach and has been turned into a hotel with restaurants as well as tourist destination. We spent a couple of hours climbing through her, taking in the sheer size of her and her long history.





We shoved off from Long Beach pier at 5:30 and sailed quietly into the evening. Dinner at the swank Destiny Dining Room involved live entertainment each night and even encouraged patrons to get up and join the fun!



Here's a few photos to give you an idea of how cosy our little cabin was for the three of us.
