MamaParrotHead Posted May 14, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The only thing I do know is that we'd be flying in the day before we'd sail on the Pride. Need info on airports, transportation/costs, hotels (any offer free shuttles from any of the airports?) and what's to do the night before we sail. HELP! :D Thanks.

happy cruzer Posted May 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hi, I had the same questions for San Pedro. I used the search function. Login then you will see search as a choice on the banner click on search a window will open where you can enter Long Beach then select Western Departures as your board You will get some very detailed info. and it will save all of it being retyped again. Most of it is current. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted May 14, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2007 If you know when you are flying in, I guess you know what airport you are using. LAX? Long Beach? John Wayne? All 3 are possible airports. The first is about 25 miles from the Long Beach port, the second about 6 miles, and the third about 35 miles. You can take a shuttle or cab from each to the Long Beach downtown area. Most of the hotels in that area are just fine. Some stay on the Queen Mary, which is right next to your port, but many have been disappointed in the rooms on board, so you may want to opt for a hotel. Many of the hotels offer free shuttles to the pier. There are also quite a few restaurants in the Long Beach downtown area. You can also go to Shoreline Village, which has shops and restaurants, and is close to the downtown area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted May 15, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I was very impressed with the Aquarium of the Pacific. You can check their website before your trip to see what their hours are for that day (sometimes, esp. in the summer they may be open during the evening...they were last August on a Friday).

I'm a Monterey Bay Aquarium snob, but I really enjoyed the Aquarium of the Pacific. They have a fabulous collection of sea dragons :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
