LAX-it

on
February 7, 2022

I first visited LAX and used LAX-it in early 2020. After a second visit in 2021, I noticed the process for LAX-it was slightly different than the one I documented here. I have updated this with both processes so you will be prepared for whichever one they are using…

Halloween Panorama: Debarkation & The Return Trip

on
December 3, 2021

I laid down last night and was not going to get back up. I slept 8 hours. When I woke up it was 5:30am. I showered, shaved, brushed my teeth and got dressed.

From the aft ship cam I could see a wake so it didn’t look like we had…

Halloween Panorama: Travel & Embarkation

on
November 1, 2021

I am pulling up to my offsite parking facility. This is the Parking Spot DFW North. I parked at the South lot last time which is usually quite a bit cheaper. This time they have a sale going on and it only costs 25 cents per day more to…

Halloween Panorama: Planning

on
October 22, 2021

This will be my first time cruising in October. It’s hard to believe that Carnival Panorama has only done about 10 cruises since I disembarked just over 19 months ago. I am actually going to be getting off of the ship the day before Halloween. But since Carnival…

Long Beach Hotel Review: The Queen Mary

on
June 15, 2020

When researching Long Beach Hotels, the first property I looked at was the Queen Mary. I had heard good things and I knew it was an easy walk to the cruise port on embarkation morning.

I typically book my hotels on Hotwire and save a lot of money doing so….

Santa Monica & The Voyage Home

Santa Monica

Since the Santa Monica hop on hop off bus route was closed I decided to take an Uber to the Santa Monica Pier. This doesn’t seem like the most direct route. I found out from my Uber driver that they had a marathon in Santa Monica. That’s why…

Madame Tussaud’s Hollywood

on
May 25, 2020

After my Downtown and Hollywood tours I stopped at Madame Tussaud’s Hollywood, which was included in the Star Line tour package I bought. I didn’t realize how many I didn’t know until I tried to match all of the pictures with their names. It took longer than I thought…

Los Angeles & Hollywood

on
May 18, 2020

When we left off last time I had just checked into the Loew’s Hollywood hotel. I paid for two nights in the hotel and two days on the Starline Hop on Hop off bus but the first day went to waste due to Panorama’s Coronavirus day.

Here is the hotel…

Panorama: Coronavirus Day

on
May 10, 2020

It’s debarkation morning. When I woke up and noticed we hadn’t arrived yet, I quickly got dressed and headed out to the forward deck where I took a time lapse video of our arrival.

After that I headed to the lido buffet to pick up an omelet with almost everything…
