Hypothetical West Coast Cruise

Kerry,

Reading Mark's post to this thread I became curious and decided to
look back at what you said. When I saw the above I decided to respond
even though I'm definitely not one of John Sisker's fans by a long
shot.

As a New Yorker I do appreciate that so many ships homeport within a
cab's ride away but there are only so many Canada, Bermuda, Bahamas
and Caribbean cruises that a person can take without growing bored. So
consider this "east coaster" who counts the two Pacific coastal
cruises I've taken to be among my favorites. I'm always checking out
left-coaset itineraries - especially if I can combine them with the
periodic trips I take for tech classes and conventions.

Here's one similar to one of the repositionings I did but as a round
trip:

San Diego r/t to:
1 LA
2 Santa Barbara
3 Monterrey
4 sea
5 sea
6 Seattle
7 Astoria
8 sea
9 San Francisco afternoon arrival (overnight)
10 San Francisco
11 sea
12 San Diego.

Hi Charles,

No more coffee for me this am. I saw he included Santa Barbara. I
wanted him to visit Santa Barbara so I could show him around our
beautiful American Riviera. :+)

Best regards,
Ray

warren, i doubt you did an itinerary similar to the one you quoted below as
there is no foreign port on your list. i believe astoria is in oregon,
unless i am mistaken.
and the rule is not being overturned so no sense wishing.
also the coastal cruises are repositioning and not round trips and only go
twice a year, if that.
as far as west coast 7 day cruises (legal) our choice is mexican riviera or
mexican riviera.

He is saying that is an itinerary he would like if it were legal. Looks
nice to me.

Hi Kerry,

I believe Warren is correct. The Passenger Vessel Services Act of
1886 does not prohibit foreign-flagged ships departing from and
returning to the same U.S. port. This is how we travel agents often do
our wonderful shrimp filled cruises to nowhere. :+)

I also thought he meant that he had done it but he actually wrote

The key word is 'similar'. So on the actual cruise I guess he ended
up in Canada.

You've got a calling out to attend to.

Think first! Before you book a cruise from a two bit lying sleazeball
who uses Usenet as free SPAMADVERTISING ground and for purposeful
attempts at personal character assassination. Are you next? Think twice
before booking with Ray Goldenberg. http://tr.im/hlJv

The thread is about hypothetical itineraries on the west coast. I
submitted mine based on a real itinerary that I took that was a repo.
