What to do in San Pedro before the cruise, 2nd post today

 The Carnival Spirit leaves from Los Angeles/San Pedro for the cruise to Hawaii.  I've made a list of some suggestions of what to do before your cruise.

Port's of Call Village is within walking distance of the hotel

(very, very busy area ... but fun to go thru)

This photo was taken from the ship as we were leaving port.   It is of one of the restaurants/dock areas in Port's of Call Village.

Los Angeles Maritime Museum is right next door to the village

This was taken by the entrance to the museum.  We did not go in.  It was on our way to Port's of Call shops & restaurant.  Couldn't resist getting a photo.

From Debbie (CruiserLovr on the message boards):  "the Fire Boat Station is right next door to the Maritime Museum. They have windows along side the building where you can see right into the station and see one of the fire boats. Very interesting. As well the history around the station and the fires within the port are outlines along with photos."

Queen Mary is about a 20 minute drive away in Long Beach with shops next door.

Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach

Love this aquarium.  Definitely worth going to.  Both Hal and I would highly recommend.
