Rare jimbo5544 Posted April 27, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Does anyone have any suggestions for Hotels to stay at? We are flying into Long Beach, instead of LAX. You may want to check the West Coast Departure board. Here is the link: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=413 There are many options, the closet is the Queen Mary which is right next to the Carnival port.

Harbie Posted April 28, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Does anyone know how far the Hilton is from the Carnival Port? Is it within walking distance? Online it looks to be a fair walk..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(theme of Ghostbusters running through my head....) :p You can sing that song, you weren't stuck on the elevator that kept going to the boiler room regardless of what floor you pushed the button for.

True North 23 Posted April 28, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Long Beach has a wonderful free bus system that is easy to use. The Queen Mary is the only hotel within walking distance to the Carnival port. Stay there and use the free bus to get around Long Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guntheros Posted April 28, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Do you have to pre-arrange for the shuttle to the port? We booked the Carnival rate, do I need to call them and make sure we can get a FREE shuttle the morning of the cruise or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PatriciaF Posted April 28, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Does anyone know how far the Hilton is from the Carnival Port? Is it within walking distance? Online it looks to be a fair walk..... Too far to walk and there may not be a walk way along the street you would need to travel. I believe that the Hilton offers a special carnival rate and a free shuttle to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted April 28, 2010 #15 Share Posted April 28, 2010 The Hilton also has a free shuttle to and from Long Beach airport. My only concern would be debarking from the ship and then having to wait for the shuttle. Not sure how reliable it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOHAVE Posted May 18, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Does anyone know how far the Hilton is from the Carnival Port? Is it within walking distance? Online it looks to be a fair walk..... 2.8 miles shortest. 3.3 the more likely route. Neither looks like a pleasant walk for constricted bridges and right-of-ways but I've never been there so.......

Putterdude Posted May 18, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 18, 2010 We stayed at the Hyatt Regency 10 days ago. Convenient to a ton of restaurants and services. Got on Priceline for $60 and it was excellent value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
