Shuttle from Long Beach Hotel

[vacation cruiser]

I need a shuttle for 15 people from our hotel in Long Beach to the cruise port. I do not want to use Uber is there any other companies?

Uber is not a "shuttle company".

I found this one by just putting Long Beach shuttle into Google:

https://www.longbeachshuttle.com/

You can find others that way too.

Depending on your hotel's location a normal taxi won't cost much more than $10 +tip for 3-4 of your guests.

I imagine that the hotel could also help you.

A) Which cruise port?

B) Which hotel?

C) I doubt many companies have shuttled for 15 people + cruise luggage. You might have to use multiple vans/taxis.

Hampton Inn Long Beach Airport and going to the carnival cruise port. I called the hotel and they do not have any shuttle companies.

Short of chartering a small bus you aren't going to find any shuttle companies that can accommodate that number of people and luggage in one vehicle in Long Beach. Most of the shuttles I've seen there are 8-10 pax max with limits on luggage. 

 

You are much better off using multiple van taxis or UberXL. Trying to find this neatly wrapped up in one vehicle by chartering a bus will be immensely cost prohibitive.

Thanks we will just have to use Uber.

We collect Hilton pts but would not stay at the Long Beach Airport the night before a cruise from Long Beach.

I'd suggest that folks stay closer to the cruise port or in downtown Long Beach.

Staying at the airport is not the typical spot where you can have dinner and enjoy your evening before the cruise.

Is there a reason you don't want to? You basically said in two of your posts here that you don't want to.... bad experience? Or first time doing so? Sincerely asking.

I use Uber but the rest of group have never used it and  not crazy about the idea and are old fashioned.

I would have agreed a year ago Riff, and still agree mostly, but the Hampton Inn is brand new and in a development called the Long Beach Exchange (part of the old McDonald Douglas campus) and it has some interesting places to eat, a great Whole Foods 365, a few shops and is still growing. For an overnight, it isn't the wasteland it once was.

Thanks for this new info Scott.

Always good to learn about areas that are changing for the better.
