Marc, glad to have you on this one, if not the other! This is one of those trips that can't be done by land without a lot of effort, whereas the PUBS itinerary could probably even be improved upon with a land trip. I'm just too lazy and love getting back on the ship at night. You will not be sorry!
Claudia (are you blonde again?), you will love this relaxing cruise so long as you don't need that SOCAL sunshine and warm weather everyday! And Jackie, welcome aboard! I feel like I have seen your name, maybe on the header as you were "reading" here or on cc, any way, lots of wonderful people on this cruise!
