Cruise park hotel Long Beach?

[JohnnJudy]

What is the best place to stay before cruise?

[Husky61]

JohnnJudy, There are numerous experts standing by to advise you where to stay.  Just be patient.😁😄

The best place to ask is on the West Coast Departures board.

IF you are cruising with Carnival out of Long Beach there are several choices.

"Best" is not the same for everyone!

We stay at the Doubletree Maya.

It often has a special Carnival rate that includes parking during your cruise.

IF you don't see the rate for your dates then I usually e mail the reservations manager there.

Let me know if you need her email?

Yes, please, I would like her email address.

Hi,

Thank you, riffatsea, I will email her today.

FYI she emailed me back promptly with a rate of 189.00 including 7 days parking.  We went a different path and are going to stay near Hollywood the day before.

Yikes, that is a pretty screaming rate for being able to walk to the ship and park your car for a week. You might want to reconsider.

Yes.......very tempting

We always stay at the Maya (even stayed there way back when they were the Coast Hotel), but we take their shuttle over to the ship in the morning.

Free shuttle to and from ship is much easier than walking with luggage.

What will you do from Hollywood to the ship in the AM?? Drive and park at the port?

Much less hassle to park at the Maya and be away from the crowds leaving or arriving at the garage at the port.

First time in LA....we are flying in early on Friday and intend to spend the day touring around on the HOHO bus.   In the morning we will use a shuttle service to get us from Beverly Hills to the Port.  On the return we are all just headed to LAX so similarly will do a shuttle.

And I've read that there sometimes isn't enough space in the parking garage at the port, if the Queen Mary has an event requiring parking, and the Panorama is way bigger than anything else that's been there, so will overwhelm the garage anyway.
