We have only sailed the Caribbean and Bermuda. I guess we were expecting warm weather because, after all, it was June. Got to Long Beach on Saturday and stayed at the Hilton. It was a beautiful hotel, and Long Beach is a fun place to visit. On Sunday morning the Hilton took us to the port around 11:30. We only had to wait until about 12:15 to get on. It was a sunny day and we sat and watched the boats.
When we got on board we ate a nice lunch and then changed to go to the aft pool. It is an "adults only" pool, and the water was heated. It was very nice because it was only about 70 in Long Beach. We left about 5:00. The further we got away from the port the colder it got. We were totally unprepared for the cold weather. The next day it was even colder and cloudier. I don't think it got to 61 that day. After we left the port, the water in the aft pool was cold.
I went to the spa the first day, and it was first class. I had a hot stone massage and loved every minute of it.
