Cruise Diary: Departing San Diego

Dr. Deborah Wheeler is a travel writer who currently is on board Zaandam and will be sending in blog posts from her cruise.

Our cruise departed for Hawaii and Mexico from San Diego. San Diego is a great spot to spend several pre- or post-cruise days sightseeing. The scenery, sunshine, and beaches are very special there. Visitors will also find some great attractions downtown such as the world-famous Zoo, Balboa Park, and great museums. Visitors with extra time will want to take a drive up the coast for some of California’s best scenery.
