State tax filing

No.  Working on a cruise line is similar to working as a truck driver:  although the cruise ship visits many ports of call (potentially in other states as well), your income is taxed in the state you live:  California.  Where the line is based out of is irrelevant.  What matters is your daughter's state of residence.  Since it is California, she pays state tax to California.
