Tip: There is a free red shuttle bus (called the
Passport Bus) which takes you from the port to downtown in 30-45 minutes. After exiting the port, make a right towards the parking lot of the Queen Mary cruise ship terminal and you'll see the bus stop at the end of the parking lot.
The bus comes every 10-15 minutes on weekdays and every 10-30 minutes on weekends. It stops at the Aquarium, Shoreline Village, Pacific at Ocean, and 3rd at Promenade (final stop). Then it makes its way back from 3rd at Promenade to the port in the reverse order instead of heading straight back to the port (i.e. it goes to Pacific at Ocean, then Shoreline Village, then the Aquarium before the port again).
Santa Barbara
A beautiful port with a lot of great photo opportunities but I didn't take any pictures this time. Sometimes you just have to live in the moment and capture memories without a photograph and sometimes you just spend too much time at the 99 cent store. It was a bit of both in my case.
