Bowie MeMe Posted November 10, 2009 #102 Share Posted November 10, 2009 According to the port of LA web site Enterprise is the "official" rental car or the port. On these boards several folks have commented on Enterprise and problems with it. Hertz does not list anything for the port area as a location so would need to put in one of the town names. Seems like some of the hotels have rental agencies in lobby. We have decided to do Torrance CA Marriott with a Hertz agency which is about 8 miles from port. WARNING so many of the hotels seem to have high parking fees. Stay at the hotel reasonably and the parking is $15=20 A NIGHT. Then all the attractions also have high parking fees. Because you can't walk anywhere in those parts you are at the mercy. How about a tour guide with car -- works in Europe. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted November 11, 2009 #103 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Nice photos. It looked like you were pretty busy seeing the sights here. Now you'll have to book another cruise from here so you can see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like driving to the Sportsmen's Lodge from LAX (just past the Getty Museum) This looks like a balcony view from Sportsmen's Lodge looking over Universal Studios And this is when they were filming NCIS: Los Angeles at the hotel while you were there How am I doing so far? Definitely add more pictures then, as we want to see the rest of the trip and the tours!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philly50's Posted November 12, 2009 #110 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Your pictures were wonderful. I was confused, we are going on the Golden Princess in April, not the Sapphire. Still in all I enjoyed the pictures and thank you for taking the time to post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was scrolling down the list on CC and saw that you had just posted a comment. So how are things going in Philadelphia? I see that you are doing an LA cruise to Hawaii on April. Hope you :D enjoy. We have been on another cruise - eastern Caribbean aboard Princess since the NCL Canada/New England cruise in Sept. We, also, were back in Brooklyn over Halloween weekend to celebrate Tom's birthday and grandson, Wyatt's, first Halloween. In January, we are doing an 11-night Med cruise aboard Costa - first time on that line. We depart/return to Rome so we are spending 3 nights in Rome pre-cruise for sightseeing. Maybe we'll see you :) on another cruise some time in the future....Sheila 08/82 RCCL Sun Viking 06/87 CCL Festivale 05/91 NCL Skyward 05/93 Prin Pacific 07/93 CCL Carnivale 03/94 Com Enchanted Seas 06/95 Com Enchanted Isle 06/97 NCL Windward 05/98 RCC Grandeur 03/99 NCL Sea 12/00 NCL Sea 10/01 RCCL Rhapsody 06/02 ROCL Olym Voy 06/03 CCL Jubilee 01/04 NCL Sea 06/04 NCL Sun 08/05 CCL Holiday 10/05 Celeb Galaxy 12/05 CCL Liberty 03/06 Celeb Mercury 08/06 RCCL Rhapsody 09/06 NCL Dawn 1/06 Prin Sun 01/07 RCCL Rhapsody 03/07 Prin Sea 11/07 Prin Star 08/08 CCL Glory 09/08 CCL Ecstasy 11/08 CCL Holiday 11/08 NCL Spirit 04/09 Prin Island 09/09 NCL Majesty 10/09 Prin Emerald 01/10 Costa Pacifica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly50's Posted November 14, 2009 #112 Share Posted November 14, 2009 So good to hear from you. I'm sure Wyatt must have gotten so much bigger already. I hope all is well. Yes, we are booked on the Golden to Hawaii in April, with Ed and Marie our usual traveling companions. This is Jim's dream cruise, he's always wanted to visit Hawaii. So now I'm busy trying to gather some hints and as ususal these boards are so helpful. The Med cruise you are taking is my dream cruise, your trip sounds great.

Donna[/quote'] Hey girl.....good to hear from you. I'm not doing cyber-stalking......just reading, reading, reading on CC to get info on different ports. When I saw your log-in name, it was OMG!!!! Need to respond! I had an email from Mary and John (remember them) about mid to end of October. They were getting ready to do a repo cruise on NCL (I think that was the line). I finally got around to responding but think they were in the Atlantic by then. Haven't heard back. Hawaii sounds wonderful!!! 33 cruises and we've never done that. Guess I need to add it to my "bucket list". Ya'll enjoy. We booked the Med cruise when we did because son #2 will be returning from Seoul sometime in Feb. He will be with us for a while. He's getting married in July. He met his fiance while doing Peace Corps in Morocco. She is not far from your area - Franklin Lakes, NJ. They are getting married in Washingtonville, NY. So we'll be back up that way in July, if not sooner...Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamangela Posted April 23, 2010 Author #115 Share Posted April 23, 2010 WOW! I came back on this link to see if anyone had posted a question on this thread I had started, and saw the post has had over 4,700 views!!! Glad to know it still has "luster" of interest. LA was so wonderful, hubby and I talk about how wonderful it all was and that we'll come back just to visit... and maybe cruise to Hawaii this time and plan more days in Cali. We miss it all! Even miss our little Sportsman's Lodge and Jerry's Deli! And Pinz, too! We leave for a land trip (what a concept!).... our first one in 12 years that'snot including a cruise. Will cruise in Sept / Oct and will return to these boards hopefully in a few weeks when we book the high sea vaca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
