Here are a few alternative lots that allow overnight parking. Once you park you can take the PASSPORT bus from 3rd at Promenade to Queen Mary (right next to Carnival terminal).

*When I say "Distance" I mean how far/long does it take to walk from the parking lot to the 3rd at Promenade stop

We're planning on doing this for our next sailing. Hope this was helpful!

After doing some additional research, here are a list of parking lots near downtown Long Beach that allows overnight parking. Definitely cheaper than paying $19/day at the cruise terminal. (Sorry if the attached thumbnail is tiny! First time doing this)

To the ship---

Want to get off at the Long Beach Transit Mall.

There are many stops on the Passport. About ten are shown in the schedule. Catch the free Passport bus one block over on Ocean between Long Beach Blvd & Pine (more specifically between Collins and Locust), in front of the tall, white Art Deco-ish building. Confirm on a map.

Take the Passport to the Queen Mary. Walk straight off the bus, thru the 'village' to check in.

 

Going back ask where to get off to catch the Blue Line. It has changed a bit bc of time of day and construction.

 

JIC. From Union Station take the Red or Purple line to the 7th Street Transit. Don't forget to Tap.

Thanks!

The cheapest option is to park at Union Station and take metro to Long Beach. Connect to the Passport.

I'm actually thinking of doing this. Do you mind help confirming if I'm going about it the right way?

From the Blue Line which is the correct exit?

-Downtown Long Beach

-Pacific Avenue

Passport Bus-there are 5 stops:

-3rd at Promenade

-Ocean at Pacific

-Shoreline Village

-Aquarium of the Pacific

-Queen Mary

From the Metro do I get on at Ocean at Pacific and then exit Queen Mary?

Thanks in advance!

Depending where you are coming from, you can take the Metro Red Line and then the Blue Line from Union Station to Long Beach. Then hop on the Long Beach Passport bus.

 

Parking at Union Station is $6/day (park at the Patsaouras Transit Center - 801 N. Vignes Street). The Metro is $2 + $1 for a TAP card (if you don't already have one). The Passport bus is free.

 

We do this on cruises less than a week and each of us only has a 22" or smaller suitcase and a tote/backpack.

Thanks for offering this suggestion! I'm thinking about doing this since I'm close to Union Station.
