Thanks to a Carnival announcement this week, cruisers in the Southwest - within driving distance of Long Beach - have it made, especially if they want to cruise Alaska. For the first time, Carnival Cruise Line has scheduled an Alaskan cruise round trip from Southern California (Long Beach), making it easy to drive to the port and get on the ship with today's inconvenience of having to fly to the port.
The complete story appeared in the August 25 edition of Cruise News Daily.
