Is 12:55 PM flight out of LAX too early for a cruise docking in Long Beach on Sat?

I have never sailed out of Long Beach, CA so I don't have a clue.................would a 12:55 PM flight out of LAX be too early for a cruise docking in Long Beach on a Saturday in mid-December? I'm thinking that would be plenty of time, but wanted to ask someone who knows the situation there. Also, does anyone know the cut-off time for flights to use the cruise line shuttle from Long Beach pier to LAX (Carnival)?

You should call your cruise line for their shuttle policy. That's the most reliable, and up to date, source for that information.

Just call the cruise line but 12;45 is very doable.

Hi,

We cruise out of Long Beach at least once a year.

You should have no trouble making a 12:55 flight!

We get off the ship early by about 8AM but even if you are off later you can be at the airport by 11 easily!! There are taxis/shuttles and Uber/Lyft cars that will be available to take you to LAX and it shouldn't be more than an hour's drive(at most) I would not wait for the Carnival bus! I'd want to be off the ship and in a vehicle to the airport on my own time and not on Carnival's time.

We booked the 12:55 flight for our January cruise. It was definitely the best time for getting back to the east coast. I had asked our Carnival PVP if that time would be okay and she said yes.
