Disney Magic Back in LA 2008

I really enjoyed the cruise we did but I'm just not impressed with the itineraries. Neither for the West Coast cruises nor the repos.

Cabo, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta? Blech. Might as well just spend three days in San Diego for all the foreignness you'll experience. (I know the Caribbean isn't much better but at least it is multiple countries and our cruise was lucky in that normal stops were hurricane damaged at the time so we hit a couple unusual ports instead.)

A 15 day cruise isn't bad but a 15-day cruise where 8 of the days are at sea is, in my opinion. I'm not a "sit by the pool" type person so it doesn't take long to experience all the wonders of on-board life (good company goes a long way to help with that but 8 days it a lot of time to fill.

Going west replaces one of the at sea days with Cartagena so it is slightly better.

I guess the west coast of Mexico just doesn't interest me much. I wish they'd repo to Seattle, Victoria, or Vancouver and do a two week Alaska cruise. I'd be all over that.
