You guys seem to have a wealth of knowledge and hoped I could take advantage. We are flying into LAX on May 31 (Wednesday morning). Our cruise leaves on Thursday out of San Padro. We have thought about renting a car and driving to San Diego. My husband is a military buff and wants to tour the USS Midway. We figured we would stay in a hotel and drive back to the airport Thursday morning, return the car, and just take the Princess transfers. It is my husband and I and 4 of our kids. I'm not sure where I should try to stay? Is it doable to go visit the Midway? Are there any hotels where you can drop luggage before you can check in? I feel like I have more questions but not sure what I need to know. Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure if their wait list program works very well. I was waitlisted for an inside room for our kids because when we tried to book it was sold out. A couple days later I happen to be on and there was a room available and I booked it. I've never received anything from the waitlist. So a room became available to the general public without being offered to the waitlist first.

Crazy question. We had an amazing Christmas aboard the Discovery Princess. My only complaint was there was hardly any standard North America outlets (120V - I think, sorry). I think the others were European outlets and we could not purchase adapters on board. This was the first time we have ran into this issue. We actually cause the breaker to trip because we had to many hair appliances running at once - oops. So, my question is what is the outlet situation on the Emerald Princess? Do we need to purchase some adaptors to make sure we have enough room to plug stuff in? Thanks in advance.
