Best way to & from LAX to Long Beach Port?

[Crazy Carolyn]

I would like information for the best way to travel to & from LAX and Long Beach Port for Carnival cruises. How long a trip is it between the 2? cost? provider?  suggestions?  We would appreciate all help and ideas.  Thanks!

There is no "Best" way.

There's the Cheapest way. My honeymooning kids decided to do this and they didn't want anyones help. They took the city bus (public transportation) the whole way. I think it cost them max $10 total. ((They got to see parts of LA that most 1st time white tourists don't get to see))

 

Or you could take a cab

Or an Uber/Lyft

Or hire a limo

 

or Just fly into Long Beach

You can also use Carnival transportation.  We used Super Shuttle.  If you go on their site, you can get the price.  It was cheaper than the Carnival passes.

I have always used Supershuttle LAX to the port - not the quickest or most comfortable but generally reliable - then I use the ship transfer back to LAX. These are the most reasonably priced options. That is, reasonably priced for a solo, price being per person.

For a couple or group, I'd suggest a taxi. If you are able to use Uber (I'm not signed up, it doesn't exist in Bermuda, so I don't know from experience), I suspect it would be competitive price wise.

We used Super Shuttle from LAX to our Long Beach hotel.  Total was $44 plus tip for my husband and I.  I would use them again.
