We have been promising ourselves a trip to Catalina for the past 10 years at least so this time we made it happen. We were advised by family to upgrade out tickets and we were very pleased we did this especially for the return journey. The boat itself was clean and the staff were really friendly. The other plus of upgrading, apart from not having to queue for too long was the free drink, sad I know but it was Christmas :) So go to Catlina, Upgrade your tickets and have some fun.
