Feb 17 All Aboard

 We went back to the airport, found the Grand Princess staff, gave them our luggage and got into a shuttle bus that went to San Pedro (a.k.a., the Port of Long Beach and Los Angeles).  

One of the ships docked on the passenger side of the port was the USS Iowa, a WWII battleship. 

Next to it was the Grand Princess, a 2500 passenger cruise ship. We went through the usual ingest procedures and boarded the Princess. 

When we got aboard we went to the 14th deck and had some iced tea (nice weather) and watched some loading on the freight side and then watched as our ship left the port. 

Then we went to our stateroom on deck 11 (there is no deck 13) and sure enough, the luggage was there. After unpacking we went back up to deck 14 and found something to eat.
