Radiance OTS – harbor seals
Now, it seems that just about all the cruise lines that come into San Pedro list the port stop on their itineraries as Los Angelas. The cruise portion of the port is listed as the “World Cruise Center” which is … Continue reading

Radiance OTS – a mostly foggy day
This morning the sun rise was beautiful which, I think is why we were all surprised as we headed down the Pacific Coast. Yes, the Captain had warned us about the restrictions requiring cruising speed of no more than 10 … Continue reading

Radiance OTS – final day/sea day
This cruise is extremely short for me. Seven days – one of which was the boarding day – three ports and three sea days. The cruise companies may be mercenary, but even they are stupid enough to attempt to count … Continue reading
