Background/PreCruise:

This was my 4th and DH 3rd cruise and this time we just wanted to relax and enjoy the ship and get some rest. We flew in a day early, stayed at the Maya in Long Beach; although the hotel and staff were very nice, there was a catered wedding with live music and we had very little sleep before boarding the ship. No biggie,tho, we had a week to catch up. The Maya is located near the Dome and Queen Mary, the area is nice and there is a good walking path by the harbor. The Reef is a restaurant within walking distance if you don't want to eat at the hotel.
