with traveling with Bruce welcome to my channel today today's video is all about
the state of California this fall 2019 this fall and this winter there are
going to be more cruises out of California than in years maybe in ten
years it hasn't been this good you can you're gonna be able to travel out of
San Francisco this year you're gonna be able to sail out of Los Angeles this
year a whole bunch of cruise lines are coming up here Long Beach California of
course which is the home to Carnival and you're also gonna be sailing out of San
Diego you can be able to combine a land holiday with a with a sailing holiday if
you want and the options are pretty good sailing so Hawaii links to Mexico Panama
Canal fantastic let's get started with San Diego here we are right here looking
at it from space and then right into the downtown area it's the beauty of sailing
out of san san diego is you can land at the airport ten minutes away by cab and
get to your ship so if you're with an hour or two of the area you can
literally fly in the day of your cruise I generally don't recommend doing that
but you can do it the other good news about San Diego parking lot right across
the street from the ship itself you can literally walk on the sidewalk pass the
cruise ship the cruise lines working out of San Diego this year will be Holland
America Disney and windstar the Volendam from all America the new Staten the New
Amsterdam the oyster dam of the gyro dam the Rotterdam the Rotterdam will be
doing Panama Canal cruises for Disney the Disney Wonder she'll be coming out
of San Diego this winter to take a cruise on the Disney Wonder will run you
about 200 to 250 dollars a day for a balcony if you want to get a cruise on
the oyster Dam you're looking at about eighty one dollars a day these are the
best prices I could find by the way euro dam you're looking at about $96 a day
that was of the cost sort of San Diego this year Long Beach California right
here where Carnival homeports Carnival will be home porting the brand-new
panorama cruise ship 780 million dollars to build
it will run about a hundred thirteen dollars a night for the cheapest cruise
on balcony the carnival imagination and the the Carnival Inspiration will also
work out of here including the Carnival legend that one will be sailing through
the Panama Canal and the carnival miracle you can get cruises on the
carnival miracle for about 84 bucks a night like I said the panorama is about
a hundred and thirteen a night out of Los Angeles we've got Princess Cruises
and Norwegian cruise lines this year the Royal Princess will be
coming out of LA this year $86 a night for a balcony for seven-night cruises
are available the Grand Princess will be available actually that will account
ascend san francisco pardon me back to norwegian first of all norwegian the
bliss and the joy will both be working out of los angeles this year mainly
mexican cruises and then the odd panama cruise on the bliss you'll be able to
get a balcony this year for about ninety one dollars enough on the joy you're
looking at a hundred and twenty five dollars and up and of course you're
gonna pay extra for the for the go-cart track over here
you'll pay extra for the specially restaurants but that's typical for
norwegian the base rate is what it's all about 91 for the bliss 125 for the joy
the the princess cruise ship the royal will mainly do mexican cruises and then
chill chill reposition after that after we are out of los angeles we head for
San Francisco the port of San Francisco this year
we'll have princess and we'll have Norwegian coming by the Grand Princess
will be conducting cruises here about 113 dollars a night and up and the
Norwegian gem will be doing panama canal cruises starting in San Francisco so
you'll be able to take long trips all the way down the west coast of the US
down past Mexico Costa Rica all the way through the Panama Canal and then up to
Florida so there you go you've got basically four spots with which to sail
from San Diego along B la San Francisco a bunch of cruise lines
with a bunch of ships other cruise lines frequenting California this year would
be as mentioned earlier Windstar Seabourn Royal Caribbean I will do a
Panama Canal la Cruz celebrity and Oceania all of these that have basically
one ship each but the big gap players for California this year with multiple
options are carnival princess Norwegian haul in America and Disney Wonder very
good selection for those of you who want to get in a land-based California
holiday and then mix in a cruise this is the year to take a look at California
