balletmom Posted April 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2008 We arrive in Los Angeles the day before our cruise and were wondering about transportation from our hotel at Universal Studios (Sheraton) to the cruise ship terminal at San Pedro. Should we just take a taxi or is there a shuttle service available? There are three of us with 3 bags and 3 carryons. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshona2 Posted April 13, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi, I live 10 minutes from Universal Studios on a good day when the traffic is moving on the 101 freeway. San Pedro is at least one and one-1/2 hours away on a good day when there are no accidents on the 405 using the carpool lane. So, I strongly suggest you email or call the Sheraton Hotel and ask the Concierge to arrange for a van to take you to the port in San Pedro.

Cruisin' Chick Posted April 14, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm wondering how you selected Universal City to stay in for just one day before the cruise (unless you wanted to go to Universal Studios). It's not exactly the most convenient to the ports (I used to commute from the Valley to West LA and now firsthand about the traffic...and there's not just a little rush hour traffic as it usually is bumper to bumper going south all day long). And will not be inexpensive whether you go by shuttle or taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted April 15, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I agree. Unless you have business in the area, or visiting friends, stay in San Pedro or Long Beach. There is a very nice Sheraton right on the main drag in Long Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletmom Posted April 15, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks for the info everyone. I did not book the hotel, my travel companion did (free night). I will try to get a shuttle price quote to get to the pier. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skandls Posted April 16, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Prime Time and Super Shuttle are the 2 major shuttle services. Check the website for the cost of transport to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
