Los Angeles Cruise Ship Terminal

Used Sav-​on Shuttle for transportation from (LAX) area Hotel
TO this wonderful cruise terminal, Everything went swell:)

The terminal is large and we moved through at a good speed. Getting there can be a challenge. Give yourself plenty of time.
The 110 freeway dumps you off in a confusing way, and to get to the cruise terminal and avoid the bridge crossing the channel you have to muscle your way into the far right lane. Easier said than done, as there is a steady stream of traffic getting on there, most trying to get to the left lanes and onto the bridge…
Lots of parking, but it is expensive. Better to get someone to drop you if your cruise is longer than a few days. Or consider parking somewhere else and taxi to the port.

Great three day cruise. Lots of good, listed below. One recommendation, do not get a room on the eight (Emerald) floor near the front of the ship. It is much too rocky. You feel every single movement in the water. Other than that it was perfect.

Terminal it self is good, and they know how to move the people on and off the ship. But parking is crazy and they have just increased the rates from 11.50 a day to 16.00 a day — wow what a jump! $ 112.00 for 7 day parking. Think that Cruise industry needs to add this in as a perk!

Everything ran smoothly, they are always well organized.
We boarded Princess Cruise from here and parked overnight.

This was where I boarded the Sapphire Princess cruise ship. Didn’t experience a significant problem here at all. The employees were nice when they were showing people where the Prime Time and Super Shuttle stops were.

We showed up late and wouldn’t have made it if it hadn’t been for the parking lot manager. He was so helpful and drove me in a golf cart to the terminal building! Don’t trust google directions! They will take you to the parking lot past the actual cruise ship terminal. Follow the road signs and your common sense. You see a massive cruise ship staring you in the face and drive towards it. I drove past it and then when I turned around to come back, I got stuck in a DUI checkpoint and almost missed the boat!

The place to be when you go on a cruise. Not far from the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, in case you go to the wrong location like I did.
Outdoor parking for $ 12/​day. If you live close, take a cab and leave your ride in the garage. Porters stand by at a drop area to take your pre-​labelled luggage. Make sure you keep your boarding documents and passport with you.
Carnival Cruises has a lot of people working inside the terminal to process cruisers and the line moves fairly quickly considering they have to process several thousand passengers.
It was very interesting to watch the longshoremen at work loading pallets upon pallets of luggage and other supplies, then man the mooring lines as we got underway.
Returning to port and debarking was another process that is a bit cumbersome because of ICE inspection and off-​loading all of the luggage.

You have to go somewhere to get on the boat and this is where they parked it.
