Due to concerns about Swine Flu, the Princess Cruise Line is re-routing ships to Santa Barbara in lieu of Mexican ports. I understand they are also visiting Santa Catalina. Here is the Star Princess, in the fog on Sunday morning, and later the same day as the fog cleared away.
We're happy to have them -- our tourist business could use a boost. The passengers...? Most of them probably have been to Santa Barbara before.
Great picture of the ship in the fog... I don't know if SB is a good substitute for Mexico, but I'm sure the passengers are happy to avoid Mexico right now.
