Long Beach (Los Angeles), California Cruise Port

Our first cruise... we spent the night before at downtown Disney. We all had a great time. Port was clean and organized. Embarking and deportation was quick and easy. Already planning another cruise 🚢 from here.

Super easy port to navigate. Drop off smooth and walk right into check in lines. Area is clean and restroom available. Boarded ship within 20 mins of drop off. Yeah!!!

I like the fact that it is not too busy there and beautiful weather. Early boarding is the best. Everyone at Carnival is so willing to help you and get you on your way.

Easy port yet to get in and out of. Once we arrived it was a nonstop entrance onto the ship and to our cabin. We checked our luggage in, went through security, they checked are carry on, and we were headed to the ship. We never sat down or stood in a line. I really missed not hearing my sail and sign card "ding" as I went onboard 😥. This was the first cruise that we had been on where they didnt give you your sail and sign card at check in. I wish every port was this easy to embark!

Although we had an emergency medical another passenger off of the ship so we missed our first day in Cabo, then we couldn't stay on our second day due to unsafe weather conditions, Puerto Vallarta had hurricane Bud, so we were told we would visit Catalina, that was also unsafe, so we ended up in San Diego. We still had a great time in spite of missing our planed ports. The ship is beautiful, staff was great we especially loved our server Chip in the main restaurant and Nila our cocktail server. The food was really good. I would definitely Cruise this ship and with Carnival in general again.
