Creator's Key Takeaways
San Pedro Cruise Port is often underrated in the cruising world, especially when Los Angeles traffic makes it a headache to get to.
I said LA traffic sucks and it does but if you enter the port via the 710 freeway you go right over quite a site a grand bridge that would be right at home in San Francisco.
USS Iowa museum is directly in front of the parking lot if you're early you could leave your luggage in the car and enjoy a few hours here.
This place takes their crowd control cues from Disneyland with lots of weave lines there's no confusion about where to go.
