Hello to everyboy,

 we are a young couple (27/29) from Germany and we will join the a.m. cruise.

2 questions:

-who else will be on the cruise? I would be happy to get some contacts in advance .-)

-can anyone recommand a hotel in L.A. (We will be in L.A. and San Diego and Palm Springs before the cruise - hotels already booked). But now we are still looking for a hotel in L.A. for a few days after the cruise.

Can anyone recommand a hotel.

We would like:

Nearby the beach, pool, complimentary continental breakfast and free parking.

I am hoping to get some help from you.

Thanks and regards

Heike & Christian
