One comment mentioned that Uber may be at the port dropping off pax...Perhaps I could approach one and get a ride with them to LAX? Definitely will not do a Princess Transfer

Have you considered the Vagabond Inn, a lot less expensive alternative and they offer a free shuttle to the port. Breakfast is available on Saturday & Sunday, complimentary. We have stayed there before and recommend it.

Being from Canada, we will not have access to a working cell phone, so will not be able to use Uber or Lyft. We will be arriving in LAX two days ahead of our cruise, and plan on getting a taxi at the required pick up area so the transfer there is not a concern. My question is getting from the ship to the airport. We will get a flight back to Vancouver after 12:30 pm, so are not in a hurry to get to the airport. Princess offers a shuttle from the ship to lax for $59.40 us $ per person which converted to Cdn. $ seems quite high. The other alternative is taking a taxi, if available for less cost. If we take the Princess transfers, how does this work: meeting time, suggestions, etc. Thx, Jim

Agree..will get a later flight..thx 4 the replies//

I agree..too much of a chance missing my connection..the next flight has a lay over just under 4 hrs..best 2 book that..west jet has a connecting flight but connection is 7 hrs..uggh but $300 less..too long to wait..will bite the bullet and use ezy air with princess to book for January 2025 and not pay till October..thx for suggestions

Flying from Nanaimo, British Columbia and will be going through security there. Will Arrive in Vancouver with a one hour 16 minute layover before having to go USA Customs/Immigration there and will connect with the same airline for our LAX flight. Is this enough time?

Flying from Nanaimo, British Columbia to Vancouver, BC to LAX....Connecting time at YVR is 1 hr 16 minutes but have to go thru US Customs there (already went thru security) Is this enough connecting time?

Can I turn Airplane Mode on while aboard the ship, then turn on wifi and will I be able to use Whats App with no additional cost?

No, we r sailing out of San Pedro, LA, but good advice

Tried that and I even tried booking one way, but the flights still did no show up...Really like the idea of booking and not paying until October for our January 2025 cruise, but still have lots of time to book..will probably book with WJ outbound and AC inbound as this gives us the better price....Seat sales have not appeared that far in advance and will probably not show up for awhile.

I did not see the flights I wanted on EZ Air, but did see them with two other airlines, West Jet outboard and Air Canada Inbound...Can EZ Air do the flights I want or do I have to stick with their recommendations?

It will pick you up at your hotel as well, and the cost will be less expensive...$115..We are arriving at San Pedro two days in advance from Vancouver, as we live on Vancouver Island, and sometimes the fog or that dreadful snow may slow our departure.

What time did you disembark? Is it better to leave early to get a taxi?

Looking at taking a taxi to a San Pedro hotel in January 2025. Do we still take the free shuttle to the LAX - IT to get our taxi as this is where most of the the ride shares operate. The web site is a bit confusing.

Where is it on their site...could not find it

Thanks for the messages. Looking back at the last time we were in Lax several years ago, we stayed at the Vagabond Hotel in San Pedro. It had everything we wanted, including fridge and micro, and they also had complimentary shuttle to the World Cruise Centre. Booking direct, as of today, the price for seniors is $108 US$ which is less expensive than booking.com or other 3rd parties. About $150 Cdn. We will book with them as there are restaurants close by. Transportation can be a hassle at LAX, so we just decided to take the free shuttle from Terminal 6 to the LAX It taxi pick up area to our hotel for under $100, with prices about the same for either direction, as we do not have working cell phones in the USA to use other transportation options.

We are on the grand princess Jan 4 mexico cruise. Any inexpensive hotels as well as transportation from LAX. We will be overnighting one day prior leaving from Nanaimo BC
