mtrancher Posted October 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I realize the forum name is West Coast Departures... however I can't find a West Coast Arrivals forum; so you have my question here. What type of services should I expect to find upon disembarkation day of my cruise. Will there be ample Uber or `car services drivers close by? Is there a Porter service which will take my bags to the airport and check them for my flight? My ship is the only cruise ship on the calendar that particular day. What recommendations or items should I know ahead of time?? Thanks in advance for your helpful comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no porters for the airports because the airports are all a long ways away. Which ship is it? We live locally so we prefer getting off as late as possible to avoid crowds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will porters to take your luggage to your ground transportation. No airport service available. Taxis will be available, Uber requires a phone call as will car services. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomarc Posted November 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Do you know if X will have shuttle buses to the local airports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would depend on how many people are using X transfers. I would guess if they did, it might be to LAX only, since the majority fly in there. I'd say no shuttles to SNA, maybe a transfer to LGB.

We were on the first Celebrity Solstice Mexico cruise in October. Shore excursions sold both a direct shuttle to LAX and also a tour which ended with drop off at LAX for those with flights later in the day. We didn't use either so I have no idea regarding the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATSEAMYLIFE Posted November 5, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 5, 2022 We RSVP'ed an UBER the day before we arrived. Good think we did as we walked right off to our UBER waiting. Several other people were still waiting (20 min) or hadn't even gotten a confirmation that a driver had taken the fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember how much the fare was? What day of the week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't go to LAX, but you can get a quote off the UBER app I think 30 days in advance. We disembarked on a Thursday and only the Navigator OTS in port. Also, use a porter inside the terminal. They get to go to a different CBP lane, so much faster than doing the regular line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
