Transfers lax San Pedro

[BCCRUSINGCOUPLE]

Every time we cruise out of San Pedro we usually take a taxi to the port. Just wondering how has your experience been taking the princess transfer from the airport to the pier.

Never done a Princess transfer there. Uber is quick, cheap, and reliable.

Or a shared shuttle like supershuttle has worked well for us

Super Shuttle  for us also

When we have done the LAX Princess transfer we had to wait more than an hour for it to fill up before it left. 

We do Uber/Lyft now fie about $35.

We always book a town car from LAX to San Pedro.😄

Used Supershuttle last cruise, and paid $16 a person San Pedro to LAX.  No problems and it was easy to do.  Booked in advance on their app and saved 10% on the fare.

I just did Princess transfer airport San Pedro.  Liked that Suitcase taken at airport and was at cabin on ship. Yes was a little wait but so easy to do.

We have always done the Princess shuttle in LA. We usually fly in the day of very early (arrive by 9 am latest). 

They check our names off a list, take our luggage except what we are carrying on. Its nice not to have to

worry about luggage and it has always gotten to our cabin before sail away.

Granted there is usually some time to wait. We go to Starbucks and have a muffin and coffee while waiting for time to pass. Usually your the first on the bus around 10:00 am and it makes like 3 more stops in the airport for other cruisers. 

When you get to the port, you grab your stuff and off you go!

It is more costly, but this way Princess knows what flight we are coming in on because I put that information on the personalizer and we have not really felt that it was not done well.

Another vote for Super Shuttle--worked well for us.

We would rather be onboard as soon as possible so we get to the port right away.

The last time we took Super Shuttle from LAX to the Pier we had a looooooooong run around journey while they dropped people off here and there at their homes. It took forever. I told my wife I thought maybe we went by way of Ensenada. Never again. Back to Uber for us.

Thanks for the heads up we won’t take super shuttle.

Hello,

I was wondering if you could give me an idea of what an uber/lyft would run from lax airport to san pedro pier. This will be our first time cruising from San Pedro pier. Thank you!

We paid approx $35 around 9:00am.

Fare is based on demand at the time of your request.

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I think we will use uber/lyft as that seems very reasonable.

I know the last time we took a taxi it was 72 bucks

That sounds about right. It seems like it was comparable to Super Shuttle but we didn't have to share a shuttle full of people going here and there. It was just us and our luggage. It's quick and easy whether going from the airport to the cruise port (or hotel) or from the cruise port back to the airport.

And you don't get a peoples home tour with Uber/Lyft.

God Bless Lyft/Uber!

For all the people talking about Supershuttle taking longer because of the ride being shared- can't you book the direct shuttle? I'm still weighing pros and cons of doing Supershuttle direct vs Uber.. have taken Supershuttle before and also using it to get to the airport in my home city. The website gives you the option for a nonstop ride for just your party. 

 

Uber and Lyft are cheaper, but I've never used  either of them before so I'm a bit apprehensive about doing it for the first time trying to wrangle my family and suitcases from airport to hotel. Still on the fence about which I should do and which is more reliable. We're actually flying into Long Beach, not LAX.

UBER or LYFT. 

Do it!  You will be hooked!

Same here. The $35 difference in price is nothing compared to the convenience. For an extra $10 our driver met us at Baggage Claim and we never touched our bags until we were in our cabin. A tiny extra cost compared to the cost of the cruise.

How do you do it from an airport? And do they even pick up at Long Beach? I've heard that some airports don't allow Uber pick up, only drop off. 

 

Do I just order an Uber on my app and then find a designated Uber pick up area?
