After an interesting email the Friday before our Sunday departure that began with "Betcha can't wait for your cruise Sunday...", only to then be told we would not be leaving Sunday....well, suffice to say that my fiancee who had arranged this trip was just short of devastated at this news. Being new to cruising, I was more or less "meh, don't really care" but when you think of the planning that goes into any vacation, it was a slap to the face to be greeted with this news.

We're from Northern California, so our travel arrangements were pretty simple...can't imagine the distress caused by this news for those flying into Long Beach from other parts of the country. That could not have been fun.

So we spent Sunday the 13th, our original departure date, at Disneyland.

Great storage, both in terms of closet space and in the bathroom, overall quiet location but we did have a noisy hallway and we attribute that mostly to who was across the hall as opposed to anything else. Was overall very impressed with our cabin.
