Have a great time on Equinox! This being our first time cruising out of LA I’m sure we will learn a lot. Nervous about renting a car and driving in LA especially if we go to some Tiki Bars. I’ll look at Westin and maybe we will change our reservations. We figured one day we would take a tour of the Queen Mary or tour the USS Iowa. Boy that’s frustrating. I would hate those times. I feel your pain. We are paying more this year because of Linda’s freelance legal work.

A tiki bar is a restaurant and bar that is Polynesian in theme. They have lavish tropical decors and serve exotic and very potent cocktails. The first one in the US was in Hollywood was started by a man Ernest Raymor Gantt named the Beachcomber. After that another man Victor Burgeron came along and started the Trader Vic’s franchise and was the inventor of the Mai Tai. Sadly most of those restaurants are gone in LA but the original Tiki Ti and the Tonga Room are still going strong. The Royal Hawaiian Laguna Beach is another very famous one along with Strongwater in Anaheim as well as Disney’s Trader Sams Enchanted Tiki Bar. Probably more information you ever wanted to know but you did ask.😉 Mahalo my friend.

Glad you are still here. Thanks for the recommendation. The food pics look amazing. We will be on Navigator out of San Pedro this October. We ended up booking a Royal excursion in Ensenada called "Ensenada Taste of Mexico and Margarita Madness." So imagine we will get quite full but we would like to cruise out of LA again. My biggest frustration is that we are coming into LA two days early because I am a huge Tiki fan and wanted to visit some Tiki bars. Unfortunately where we are staying at the Double Tree in San Pedro nothing is close to there except one in Long Beach. All the others are over an hour away. I don't really want to rent a car because drinking Tiki drinks and driving in an unfamiliar town do not mix. We have some friends that live there but they way live way up north. I wish LA was smaller, oh well. We will at least have the Bamboo Room on Navigator.

Are filet steaks similar in all restaurants?
Sea Dog replied to surgie's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I agree that marinated filet at Giovanni’s is awesome. I would also add the filet at the Coco Cay Beach Club is really good too.
