Rare Kelownabccan Posted March 2 #1 Share Posted March 2 Ordered a shuttle service for 7 of us to be picked up at 9:30 ish and taken to the SNA airport....how is that for the timing???.....not sure what kind of a zoo is outside the ship that morning and how long roughly to get off the ship....says arrives at 9 but apparently way earlier than that.... Can change the pickup time.....thoughts.... planes do not leave until after 1pm...so I assume will have lots of wiggle room Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted March 2 #2 Share Posted March 2 I think 9:30 is a little too early unless you’re planning to carry all of your baggage off the ship. I have sailed on Panorama several times and didn’t use self-debark. With Diamond priority I was off the ship at about 9:30 but still had to get through the immigration line (not long with facial recognition) and pick up my luggage. If you’re going to have your luggage delivered to the terminal I would suggest 10:00 for your shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an absolute nightmare getting into port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kelownabccan Posted March 5 Author #7 Share Posted March 5 Thanks....yep a big stress point for us.....probably in hind sight should have booked air out of LAX and taken the carnival bus to airport....but for 7 people....another $200 plus bill....yikes....and the planes to Canada left really late like at 5pm or close to Noon....not much choice to pick from....this one from SNA leaves at 1:30....so more breathing room....oh well....if booked shuttle no where to be found will get and uber I guess.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted March 5 #8 Share Posted March 5 Same answer... I'd look at Mickey's Space Ship Shuttle, Karmel Transportation and Zippy Shuttle. John Wayne is a MUCH better airport than LAX, as are Bob Hope Burbank BUR) and Long Beach (LGB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
