I need a veteran SoCal handicapped cruising brain smarter than mine

[seattleslew]

I think this is possible but how do I do it?  Disembark Holland at 7am in San Diego and embark Princess in San Pedro at 4pm the same day ... while needing a ramp van to transport two people, luggage and our POWER CHAIR (not a scooter) up there, approx 120 miles away.   We used to use a wonderful private ramp van guy but Covid destroyed his business.   I would prefer not to break the chair down because it requires kneeling on the ground, but it could be done if a van or sedan trunk was large enough.  Remember, there's lots of luggage, plus the driver and us.  You guys are great with advice and I'm sure someone has done this --- help!  And yes, we realize that disembarkation won't really happen at 7am.

What time would your Princess cruise be leaving San Pedro?  If it sails at 4pm, you would need to be checked in an hour before then…. EM

Have you considered using Uber WAV?   They have WAV vehicles out of San Diego.  You would need to confirm that the driver would have access to the cruise ship ports.

Another company that is highly rated (and we have used this company many times) is Wingz.   They operate out of major cities, including San Diego.    Again you would have to confirm that they have a driver with a wheelchair accessible vehicle (and that the driver can enter the cruise ship ports).    https://www.wingz.me/airport/san/

This is great information.  I never heard of this "part" of Uber.

Lyft has WAV in San Diego, too.

You guys out there are the best! So many people that need help getting around need this information. I'm glad you're out there to help! Thank you

Thanks for taking the time to send the links.  Will check it out.  We are indeed a "special" family that can help each other ... we all know certain stuff so let's combine brainpower and not assume everyone knows!

Scooterround   rets scooters  & delivers to the ship & picks up .It is delivered to the cabin .We inquired  ,A 3 wheel scooter to rent for 12 days would be $261   for a Dec 2022 cruise 

 

 Could not find a Mobile transport company  that would do it cheaper

I use Lyft and Uber WAV a lot in LA. You will need to be willing to wait sometimes anywhere from 15-60 minutes for them. The driver also has to be willing to drive you to San Padro. You may want to consider booking an accessible van service. I use MidWilShuttle in LA though they may pick up in SD as well or can recommend someone. Very reliable

Just a comment about the Los Angeles World Cruise Center, which is the one in San Pedro:

Both berth 93 and 92, which Princess uses, are accessible to all drivers without limitation.  There is no issue about entering the cruise ship port here.  The route is a bit circuitous, but any driver (even me, from out of town) can easily drive up to either one and drop off/pick up luggage and passengers.  When arriving there in your own car, drop off and then it is easy to drive into the parking lot where you leave the car.  

By the way, if you do drop off someone with luggage and have a handicapped plate/sticker, before you leave berth 93, look over to the left where you can see the first row of cars parked in the lot.  Those are in handicapped parking spots.  You may see some openings, to which you can head when you go around to get into the lot.  I did that, saw a couple of openings right close to the walking entrance.  When I drove around and into the lot, I stayed over to the right side to head to that row of spots instead of following the general traffic flow into the lot, which would take you mostly to the left center.  Drove right up to a still-open spot one car away from the walking entrance.  Piece of cake.

I might suggest using Google Earth to look at this lot and see what I'm talking about: look for "Los Angeles World Cruise Center".
