San Diego Here We Come! … By Karen


Our Mexican Riviera Cruise will be here sooner than we think…and how exciting!! Since we depart from San Diego, some of you may want to come into town a day or so early to assure you don’t miss the ship or to just visit the area.

As you probably know, San Diego is a real tourist town with lots to do and see. The Cruise Terminal, Airport and Train Station are all within a mile of each other, so it’s a bustling place. There are many hotels in this vicinity and plenty of restaurants. Shops of all sorts from a big mall like Horton Plaza to quaint theme areas like Seaport Village & the Gas Lamp District are all within a good walk of the cruise terminal. But, there’s more.

If you have a couple of days to spend, you might want to visit the San Diego
Zoo, Balboa Park or take a tour of the general area. Did you know the USS Midway is a museum here? The famous Del Coronado Hotel can be reached by tour bus or the Old Town Trolly and Old Town San Diego has shops and restaurants not far away as well.


To give you an idea of what’s available, here are a few additional websites you might want to check out: Trolley Tours, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, San Diego Grayline. If you aren’t staying on a pre or post cruise package with Carnival, you can also refer to Diana’s article on San Diego Where Do I Stay? You will have an endless option for motels & hotels with various price ranges. Enjoy the planning!!!
