FruitStandaficionado Posted January 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Cruise itinerary shows docking at Long Beach at 9AM. Our flight isn't scheduled until 3:25 PM from LAX. Not sure we want to wait the entire time at the airport. Any recommendations as to best way to deal with luggage if we wanted to go to a nice restaurant for lunch or see a site?

riffatsea Posted January 8, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hi, Several possibilities: IF you stayed at a hotel 1 night before the cruise arrange to leave luggage there after the cruise. Rent a car and use it for sightseeing and hiding luggage in trunk. Go to the Long Beach Aquarium where I think they will hold your luggage while you are there. Visit the Queen Mary . Otherwise go to the airport and pay for a day pass at one of the lounges. See if there is a tour offered from the cruise line for folks in your position with tour +transport to the airport afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted January 11, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If your ship arrives at 9AM, most likely you will not be able to disembark sooner than 10:30 or even 11AM. With LAX, you need to be at the airport no later than 2 hours prior to your flight, so you really don't have any free time at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-state girl Posted January 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2019 If you are docking at the Carnival pier, you can catch the local "Passport" bus (free) to the aquarium. They will store your luggage for you there, and you can spend a few hours looking around before catching an Uber or cab to LAX. (We did this at the beginning of December.)
