hunt182644 Posted May 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Does Princess run a bus between LAX and Long Beach port for those doing a Princess cruise. Yes I know that other shuttles, taxis, and rental cars are available. Just need to know about Princess sponsored transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took the Princess shuttle and paid $50 USD pp to go from LAX to San Pedro; however, you could save a significant amount of $$$ by taking a UBER, Lyft, a private shuttle service or even a taxi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't count on Uber or Lyft or things like that. LAX is cracking down on all of those services and they have become very limited and only in certain terminals. Taxis are a plenty though. If you have the option, or can figure it out, flying into Long Beach or SNA is a better option. Long Beach is super small and easy to maneuver, and John Wayne is a nice airport with way less people but still has all of the large flights.

Tucker in Texas Posted May 23, 2020 #13 Share Posted May 23, 2020 We did not take the shuttle from LAX to San Pedro but we did from San Pedro back to LAX. Well worth it even if it is more expensive than Uber/Super Shuttle/taxi because of the convenience. Dedicated lounge to wait for disembarkation. We got a porter for our luggage who bypassed a longer line for passport control taking our luggage to the bus. Bus filled quickly and we were on our way. No stops on the way and we were dropped at the terminal door. I think that Uber or Super Shuttle takes you to a staging area and you have to take a shuttle to get to the terminal but not sure. We were at the terminal in plenty of time for our 1:20 flight giving us time to get a bite to eat.. As a "bonus." when I called Princess to book the transfer prior to our cruise giving her our flight number, she informed me that the flight time had been changed to a little later which the airline (AAL) had not shared with us. This impacted our arrangements from our home airport home. We avoided having the hassle of finding a cab or our driver once we exited the cruise terminal. I think the fare was $48 pp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this one way? We did the LAX to San Pedro with Princess in February and we paid $29.00 per person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted May 23, 2020 #16 Share Posted May 23, 2020 2 hours ago, CarelessAndConfused said: I prepaid one way in January 2020. It was $34. We booked our cruise in September 2019 and paid the $29 pp for the one way transportation. Perhaps there was a price increase after our booking and that is why yours was a bit more pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tipped the driver $5 total for the two of us. We had no bags on the bus --- we just appreciated the safe driving. With that being said, we did notice that only a small handful of people tipped.

But my last trip, the princess people put my luggage on and took off the bus. All the driver did was drive, not even tell us about what was around.

Rare jwattle Posted May 24, 2020 #19 Share Posted May 24, 2020 If we are going on a cruise, we do tend to tip our driver; we feel it is the right thing to do, whether it is a limo, a Princess shuttle or whatever your preferred mode... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nini Posted May 25, 2020 #21 Share Posted May 25, 2020 In January 2018, we took Uber (our very first time ever), and it was great: $34.00 total for the two of us. (LAX to our San Pedro hotel) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trbarton Posted May 25, 2020 #22 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I also recommend UBER. The last time I was there in December I used Super Shuttle because I was I was concerned about the shuttle buses. The shuttle buses to pick up UBER run quite often. I would use UBER again. One point with UBER is that the exit from the freeway comes up very quick & if they are in the wrong lane they will miss the turnoff. Tom😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
