I have booked several months in advance with EZ, which is great as we dont pay till a few months b 4 our cruise. However, I monitor flight prices on google flights and they send updates on prices, so we can change from EZ to direct booking

Should we just exchange our Canadian $ in Canada for US$ before departing for our cruise or take some Pesos as well? Will be going from San Pedro to PV, La Paz, Loreto, Cabo

Price of NA beer same price as regular beer

Thx 4 the clarification..No, I haven't cruised with Oceania. I wonder if any other cruise lines allow pax to bring liquor aboard...interesting.

Presume that you know that you cannot take scotch or any liquor onto the ship.

Thx 4 the reply..Very comprehensive and helpful...will probably take the 6 am flight with AC to Vancouver and then take a lay over of 4 hours... We are arriving in LAX 2 days ahead of our cruise, so have lots of time.

See post 4. We stayed at Vagabond before and are staying there again for two nights prior to our cruise. ...it and it is a 2 star and for the price and the convenience of being so close to the port with a free shuttle and free breakfast, we definitely recommend it. Check out trip advisor for comments. No doubt Double Tree is more luxurious, but further from the port, no shuttle and free breakfast. If your are not on a budget, Double Tree may be suitable.

One comment mentioned that Uber may be at the port dropping off pax...Perhaps I could approach one and get a ride with them to LAX? Definitely will not do a Princess Transfer

Have you considered the Vagabond Inn, a lot less expensive alternative and they offer a free shuttle to the port. Breakfast is available on Saturday & Sunday, complimentary. We have stayed there before and recommend it.

Being from Canada, we will not have access to a working cell phone, so will not be able to use Uber or Lyft. We will be arriving in LAX two days ahead of our cruise, and plan on getting a taxi at the required pick up area so the transfer there is not a concern. My question is getting from the ship to the airport. We will get a flight back to Vancouver after 12:30 pm, so are not in a hurry to get to the airport. Princess offers a shuttle from the ship to lax for $59.40 us $ per person which converted to Cdn. $ seems quite high. The other alternative is taking a taxi, if available for less cost. If we take the Princess transfers, how does this work: meeting time, suggestions, etc. Thx, Jim

Agree..will get a later flight..thx 4 the replies//

I agree..too much of a chance missing my connection..the next flight has a lay over just under 4 hrs..best 2 book that..west jet has a connecting flight but connection is 7 hrs..uggh but $300 less..too long to wait..will bite the bullet and use ezy air with princess to book for January 2025 and not pay till October..thx for suggestions

Flying from Nanaimo, British Columbia and will be going through security there. Will Arrive in Vancouver with a one hour 16 minute layover before having to go USA Customs/Immigration there and will connect with the same airline for our LAX flight. Is this enough time?

Flying from Nanaimo, British Columbia to Vancouver, BC to LAX....Connecting time at YVR is 1 hr 16 minutes but have to go thru US Customs there (already went thru security) Is this enough connecting time?

Can I turn Airplane Mode on while aboard the ship, then turn on wifi and will I be able to use Whats App with no additional cost?

No, we r sailing out of San Pedro, LA, but good advice

Tried that and I even tried booking one way, but the flights still did no show up...Really like the idea of booking and not paying until October for our January 2025 cruise, but still have lots of time to book..will probably book with WJ outbound and AC inbound as this gives us the better price....Seat sales have not appeared that far in advance and will probably not show up for awhile.

I did not see the flights I wanted on EZ Air, but did see them with two other airlines, West Jet outboard and Air Canada Inbound...Can EZ Air do the flights I want or do I have to stick with their recommendations?

Does Princess (Grand) serve non alcoholic beer on board? Assume if they do, it would probably be the same price as regular beer.

It will pick you up at your hotel as well, and the cost will be less expensive...$115..We are arriving at San Pedro two days in advance from Vancouver, as we live on Vancouver Island, and sometimes the fog or that dreadful snow may slow our departure.

What time did you disembark? Is it better to leave early to get a taxi?

Looking at taking a taxi to a San Pedro hotel in January 2025. Do we still take the free shuttle to the LAX - IT to get our taxi as this is where most of the the ride shares operate. The web site is a bit confusing.
