Long Beach (Los Angeles), California Port Reviews

Great city! We loved how it was to get around. We visited the Queen Mary, which is right next-door. Weather was great; we would definitely return.

No excursion, just walked around the marina. Stayed at a close by hotel and walked to the ship.

Got in a day early and explored the Aquarium in the am and a whale watch late afternoon

We always have a fun time in LA. Saw a Dodger game, went to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl.

It was a port. No biggie. Used simply to embark and disembark. Glad there was sufficient parking though, that was very nice.

This was our third cruise with Carnival it was Great! We did some shopping, and had some street Tacos in Ensenada. We got back to the ship and booked another cruise for November 26 on the Inspiration, and we will be taking our teenage children on this cruise which will be their second cruise.

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!!!

Boarded the Imagination in May. There wasn’t much of a line to board so I’m glad I didn’t get FTTF. Same for tendering in Catalina. Got off and to the island quickly.

I would have preferred more exotic destinations.

The traffic from Long Beach to San Diego is the worst even on weekends. Leave early if going or coming to try and avoid the traffic.
