cheri Posted November 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi we are flying to Long Beach for the Carnival Panorama cruise in Feb. We are thinking about taking the shuttle to LAX to fly home. Has anyone use the shuttle and can you let me know how I get sign up on them and what the cost. Any tips in this area also.

coevan Posted November 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2019 anything but the shuttles, a real P.I.A. You have to wait until the entire bus fills before your depart. You are going to stop at every terminal, hope yours isn't last. We are huge fans of Uber/Lyft, no waiting and a fair price 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizergal70 Posted November 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2019 When you exit the ship, there will be at least a dozen taxis waiting. Faster than waiting on an Uber. On a Sunday morning, I was at LAX in under 40 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABCGreys Posted November 13, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I agree with the above. Plenty of taxis or call for an Uber. The Carnival shuttle is annoying. You have to wait for it to fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wait for it to fill up. It's not even just annoying, we found often Uber/Lyft is also cheaper because you are not charged per person, but per ride. We actually took Lyft all the way from Houston to the port in Galveston because there were two of us and it would have cost double to take the shuttle, i.e. it was the same cost total for both of us in the car as one person on the shuttle. Plus it was private and on our own schedule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted November 13, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2019 call from the terminal Uber will be there in minutes and much cheaper than taxis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine5715 Posted November 13, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I always take the Carnival shuttle back to the airport except in Fort Lauderdale. We NEVER wait for the bus to fill up. The dispatchers release the bus at 1/2 to 2/3 full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyinMD Posted November 13, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 13, 2019 When it's only 2-3 of us, I always do Uber/Lyft. When I've traveled in groups of 6-7 or more, I look into shuttles, but definitely NOT Carnivals...they are too overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted November 13, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) I'm looking at Super Shuttle from LAX to Long Beach. They have an app just like Uber and Lyft. I think if I had more people Uber or Lyft would be more cost effective. Thinking about renting a car post cruise and staying a couple days then returning it at the airport but I haven't gotten that far in the planning yet.

disneylover89 Posted December 21, 2019 #15 Share Posted December 21, 2019 https://www.carnival.com/airport-transportation/airport-shuttles.aspx We always take the cruise shuttle back to the airport except in Miami. There is always a long line which moves quickly, no waiting for the shuttle to fill up. We find it convenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
