Live Oct 10 Carnival Radiance Long Beach

[Buffettfan 225]

Boarded Radiance successful. We stayed in Torrance last night, easy 15 min drive. After getting parking lot ticket go left if no passenger drop off entrance just around corner on right. We were lucky passed 20-26 reserved spots then an empty. We highly recommend backing into spot so can get out into those leaving ramp after cruise easier. 
we were very nervous about parking capacity as Miracle & Panorama already sailing prior from here. But figured this group on board some had to park and leaving spots empty. We arrived at 9:05am. Relief getting parked. 
They started boarding 9:30 by far right line for 10am. INCLUDING suite guests had that line until hot inside. After 10am line emptied & they worked those with later sept times in from left line. 
we had done VeriFLY so just showed the app page, but did scan passports. Learned from z carnival agent that is how get our sign n sail photo id.  Heard sailing 100% plus full. Fall break for schools.

Courtyard Torrance/los Angeles 2633 Supulveda blvd, torrance. We like it as close to many fast food restaurants (many rave about King Hawaiian  restaurant American/Hawaiian fusion at 2888 across street walkable). Hotel has free parking, refrigerator in room, microwave by ice machines, and really like balcony rooms overlook pool, or patio facing pool room if have kids. Not newest but clean, low level of sound, nice water pressure in shower. 
The Waze app said 22 min but was there in 15min. 
As a bonus if there on 4th Sun there is a 6-3pm antique/ swap meet just a few min away that is free.
