OUR CRUISE TO HAWAII FROM SAN DIEGO MARCH 22- APRIL 6 20006
This was our sixth cruise in Holland America and first on MS. Amsterdam. We had booked an inside cabin guarantee but the upgrade fairy put us in the outside cabin on Deck 3.
We flew into San Diego on Tuesday March 21, 2006, and the Quality Inn hotel shuttle picked us at the airport. The room was excellent with two queen size beds. After some rest we walked to Balboa Park to stretch our legs due to a long flight from LaGuardia. When, we checked in and we reserved two places on the 2 PM shuttle for March to the pier. That night we had Mexican dinner in the Gas Light district. The next morning ate their complimentary breakfast and then took a shuttle to San Diego Zoo. We spent 4 hours at Zoo and Hotel shuttle brought us back and waited until we went and got our luggage.
