Catalina Island Cruise Long Beach

Question: Do I need a passaport if i go on a cruise?

I live in California. The ship is going from Long Beach to San Diego, up-to Catalina Island, down to Ensenada, MX, and for last back up to Long Beach. Yes I was born here in the US. But I dont know were to go and what to do…… please help. Your help is much apreciated. Thanks!

Answer: Get one!
With all the security checks nowadays its worth having.. and I think I heard a recent news report that cruising people just even into Mexico would need more than a picture ID to get back into the country.
So get to the post office tomorrow fill out the application and smile for your picture. You can ask them to expedite the order if you need it fast. They are expensive though:
Age 16 and older: The passport application fee is $67. The execution fee is $30. The total is $97 .
Under Age 16: The passport application fee is $52. The execution fee is $30. The total is $82 .

Question: Catalina island question….?

Has anyone heard of the Seaport Village Inn… From their website they seem to have very reasonable prices (that include boat fare from the mainland). Also, my boyfriend and I would like to rent kayaks while we are there.. we are still debating between renting one double kayak, or two single kayaks… what is the cheepest place on the island to rent them? What coves are the best for snorkeling (besides lovers cove)? Renting the snorkeling gear isn’t an issue, we already have everything that we need… Also, is fishing allowed from the shore/pier of the island? Thank you so much.

Answer: Do it!!!! i went to Catalina last summer! It was so fun!!
