james j feller Posted August 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2008 We are sailing on the CORAL PRINCESS this OCT. 08 and we end up in L.A. What pier will that be and what is the easiest way to get to the LAX airport. Thank you JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Jerome Wild Posted August 12, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It will be the San Pedro pier. Options to and from LAX are SuperShuttle dot com (look for the discount thread on here) or a Taxi. Super Shuttle will be $17 per person. Taxi will be approximately $65 give or take depending on traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 12, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2008 These are two great options. The third option is to arrange for a private car which won't cost you much more than than the taxi. One that we have used out there is execucar which is actually a subsidiary of super shuttle. You can find them at http://www.execucar.com Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted August 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2008 You would just need to tell the dispatcher of whatever method you use the Port of Los Angeles (that's in San Pedro; as opposed to the Port of Long Beach, which only Carnival uses) and the name of the ship. When the driver enters the World Cruise Center (where the cruiseships are docked in San Pedro), there will be a sign with each ship docked there that day and its berth.

Putterdude Posted August 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2008 There is also the option of Prime Time Shuttle but after reading a number of reviews we chose Super Shuttle and were pleased with them.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieinWA Posted September 16, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2008 There is also the option of Prime Time Shuttle but after reading a number of reviews we chose Super Shuttle and were pleased with them.:) I've been reading on other threads that Super Shuttle is about $50.00 from LAX to Ship one way. Can anyone confirm for me? Thanks!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted September 16, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Not a chance, in May it was $17 pp each way. Here is a link where you can get a quote and make a reservation, however before making your reservation (if that is what you decide to do) look on this board for the discount code, it will save you $3 pp. http://www.supershuttle.com/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusbello1 Posted September 17, 2008 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2008 We are sailing on the CORAL PRINCESS this OCT. 08 and we end up in L.A. What pier will that be and what is the easiest way to get to the LAX airport. Thank you JIM The Coral in October Oct 08 does not disembark in LA... it's last trip to LA is September 18, 2008, at least for a while. I realize this is a bit off topic, but I'm just confused? But Super Shuttle is the cheapest way to go if you are leaving at regular hours from San Pedro to LAX--in March it was $17 each way. Happy cruising, VB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted September 17, 2008 #12 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I checked princess.com and The Coral Princess will be arriving in LA in early November after starting a Panama Canal cruise on Oct. 14 in FLL. So yes it will be disembarking in LA from time to time even after its repo cruise from Alaska. It will arrive in San Pedro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusbello1 Posted September 17, 2008 #13 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Sorry I see that now, I thought the Coral was just going to being doing their 10-day voyages, but I see they will now start the full transits in-between. Thanks for setting me straight! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted September 18, 2008 #14 Share Posted September 18, 2008 No problem. I'd remembered that those two sister ships are on the PC itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roudy1 Posted September 21, 2008 #15 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Here is another option...sorry if too late and OP has already made arangements. We have done this with RCCL very easy and fun...looks like Princess offers the same excursion and a good way to get to LAX. I found this on Princess web site. "La Highlights A guided tour through the City of Angels takes you from the old pueblo in Olvera Street to the Sunset Strip and the Farmer's Market for free time to explore. Depart the pier for a drive to the city’s famous landmarks. Pass the Los Angeles Coliseum, Sports Arena, Museum of Natural History, University of Southern California and drive through the downtown area. At Olivera Street, one of the oldest streets in the city, you will have a little time to stroll through this historic area, complete with Mexican handicraft shops, sidewalk stalls, and cafes. Re-boarding the motorcoach, you will head for Hollywood, crossing Sunset Boulevard enroute. At Mann’s Chinese Theater, you will have approximately 15 minutes to see where past and present screen stars have left their hand and foot prints in the concrete. Re-boarding your motorcoach you will continue on to the Farmer’s Market where you will have some time on your own for lunch and shopping." Enjoy your cruise.
