Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Troy and this is the port Lowdown sailing out of La usually means heading to Mexico or Hawaii but the area is pretty daunting because it's huge

Long Beach is the closest airport just a 20 M or half hour drive from the port traffic permitting of course that's a big Advantage

Crown Plaza Los Angeles Harbor Hotel is the goto hotel if you want the closest access to the port it's only a 20-minute walk to the port

We actually prefer this slot because it's covered always open along with the main lot and the sidewalk is smoother

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take an Uber from Union Station to the port for time efficiency
Book rental cars way ahead of time online due to busy offices
Drop off bags with porters first before parking to avoid long drag

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Navigating LA's huge area and public transportationRecommend using Uber or taxi; public transport is inefficient and time-consuming
Finding parking at the portUse the main Central Parking Lot or alternative lot north of berth 93; no reservations, first come first served
