Hornblower has multiple locations along Southern California's coastline, and while its Marina del Rey and Newport Beach ports offer brunch and dinner cruises, we wouldn't consider those booze cruises. However, during summer months, the Long Beach port hosts a 90-minute cocktail cruise at 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays with live music and alcohol. 

Hornblower's Long Beach port is located at 100 Aquarium Way, Dock 6 (310-301-6000). The cocktail cruise is $40.
