Ahoy Mateys!

Our Ship, The Monarch of the Seas ,as seen from Catalina Island

Well, Mike and I are back from our exciting cruise. We went from Los Angeles, to San Diego to Catalina and then to Ensenada, Mexico. We had a great time even though we had been to all of the ports before. We went on Royal Caribbean cruise lines which are absolutely huge. The boat held 2600 passengers and had two full dining rooms. There was a casino, several stores, a gym, two full bars, a night club, a buffet restaurant, pizza place, teen night club, kid's area, two swimming pools, a rock climbing wall and basketball court. PHEW! I hope I didn't leave anything out.

Mike and I enjoyed relaxing and walking around the various ports. We ate far more than we should have, with dessert being served after every meal. I'll fill in more this week on other aspects of our trip but here are some pictures to start you off.
