For anyone still struggling with the hotel prices in Barcelona, in addition to Elton John, Coldplay and some other fun events in town that week, there are quite a number of cruise ships sailing out in the week before we set sail https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/barcelona-port-82?month=2023-05#schedule
Better grab what you can while you can!!! It's not long now 🙂

I do not see our names on the list anymore. We are Vickie and Bill. My wife is from Costa Rica.
I am from Austin, TX but grew up near New York City. Our daughter has moved to Malaga, Spain where we have been since February.
Not to worry; sometimes when others copy my list, they don't get the entire list...you are still there and I'm about to post another update.......

Hi from South Carolina (he's from Denver) ~ we booked this a few weeks ago; got our Cove balcony and intend to keep it; love those 😉 Still struggling with Barcelona hotel (wanted near Las Ramblas) and excursions, but imagine it will come together eventually. Any tours still have openings? Details?
Our first Transatlantic (currently on a 35 day cruise in the South Pacific), but been to Barcelona 3 times already and love it there!

Following...… sorry I cannot help but looking for the same information...………………… late flight into MCO and sailing out of Canaveral the following morning (next August)………….hope to get some answers...…… or does anyone know how late the hotel shuttles run?
-
I apologize in advance if this is already on here somewhere, but my search came up empty ~ where do you rent the chairs that are poolside at Margaritaville in Grand Turk that have the locking safe? I don't see them at the cruise line excursions site...…….anyone know the cost? Thanks so much :)

I have never sailed out of Long Beach, CA so I don't have a clue.................would a 12:55 PM flight out of LAX be too early for a cruise docking in Long Beach on a Saturday in mid-December? I'm thinking that would be plenty of time, but wanted to ask someone who knows the situation there. Also, does anyone know the cut-off time for flights to use the cruise line shuttle from Long Beach pier to LAX (Carnival)?
-
I guess it's time once again to post my standard answer:
There is a very limited area of Long Beach in which you want to stay...and, therefore, a limited number of hotels.
"A" List: The BEST places to stay are the Hyatt, Westin, Renaissance and Hyatt Centric (also known as Hyatt at the Pike) …These put you right in the heart of the tourist area with very convenient walks to restaurants, shops and attractions and easy access to the free "Passport" shuttle...and those ARE the nicest hotels in town. Doesn't necessarily mean they are higher priced, though...and you can often get a real deal via Priceline...
http://www.longbeach.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html
http://www.westinlongbeachhotel.com/
http://thepikelongbeach.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lgbrn-renaissance-long-beach-hotel/
"B" List: Slightly further away, but still in decent walking distance, is the Hilton. Just across the bridge (on the same side of the channel as the Carnival Pier) are the Marriott Residence Inn Downtown and the Maya Doubletree...
http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/california/hilton-long-beach-LGBLHHF/index.html
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lgbri-residence-inn-long-beach-downtown/
"C" List: Slightly outside the prime area and/or not necessarily the nicest hotels for one reason or another, but options if all else fails are the Marriott Courtyard and the Best Western Long Beach Convention Center...The Queen Mary is across the bridge ...and right next to the Carnival Terminal...however, I am not a big fan of the Queen Mary--unless you are on there for nostalgia's sake...It's not exactly a first class hotel by today's standards--the rooms are small, condition questionable, etc. And note, you may even want to completely scratch the Queen Mary off this list considering recent reports of needed major maintenance just to keep the thing afloat--literally, that is!
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lgbcy-courtyard-long-beach-downtown/
http://www.queenmary.com/stay-aboard/stay-aboard/
Getting to ANY of these hotels from LAX, you'd either have to take a taxi, car service or a shuttle...Try Super Shuttle or Prime Time Shuttle or Super Shuttle's Execucar...From hotel to pier, some of these hotels may have free shuttles, but policies change time to time, so I would check individually with the hotel...All would be a very short taxi ride from the Carnival Pier...From the Maya Doubletree, Residence Inn Downtown or Queen Mary, one could even walk...LAX is 20 miles from the San Pedro World Cruise Center, 23 miles from the Carnival Terminal in Long Beach…could take anywhere from a half an hour to an hour depending on day, time and traffic…
One word of warning: Do NOT go looking for bargains outside of this short list of hotels...Long Beach is a BIG city...there are lots of different areas, some better, some worse...some not so close to the port or the tourist areas...That bargain hotel MAY tell you it's near the Convention Center or near the port...but it may not be...it may be in an undesirable area or location. You want to have a pleasant stay--stick to this list.
This area of Long Beach means you will have a large choice of restaurants nearby, you will have nice shops and picturesque scenery and places to walk and enjoy...You will be close to sites like the Aquarium and the Queen Mary if you want to have a little sightseeing...

Thank you so much for compiling this through list of recommended hotels. Sadly, for the 2 days we will be there, I'm unable to match up with any of these........I did find a Best Western at 1725 Long Beach Boulevard that did have decent recommendations from others so I wondered if you knew anything about that property? The closest Marriott I can get is in Alamitos or Torrance (special program for me) and most of the nearby Hilton properties are sold out for my dates. Thanks for your help!
-
btw if you stay at Marriott, AC Hotel Bella Sky or Crowne Plaza you could use their shuttlebus to and from the pier.
We are staying at Bella Sky next Fall - but I only knew of an airport shuttle - do they still have a shuttle to the port?

YAY!!!!!!!!!! Looking at staying at AC Hotel Bella Sky ~ nice to know they have a shuttle to the pier.........do they happen to pick up at the airport as well? Is the location near any of the touristy stuff (planning to come in for a 2 night stay). Thanks so much!
-
Thanks you are being super helpful ~ I found 2 Residence Inn locations in Long Beach ~ would it be the one on East Willow Street or the one on Queensway Drive/Downtown?
-
Thanks Keith; do they offer shuttle from LAX? Approx cab fare to the pier?
-
Sailing out of Los Angeles next year and looking for any Marriott property (Springhill, Fairfield, Courtyard, Marriott, etc)............thanks in advance! New territory for us :)
