Creator's Key Takeaways

We highly recommend you try the Long Beach airport. Uh LGB is the code for that.

Screenshot your sail pass before you leave the hotel or have a paper copy.

The Battleship Iowa sits literally right in front of your ship or right around your ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Long Beach Airport (LGB) instead of LAX for easier access to the port.
Tell your ride-share driver to drop you at birth 93 passenger drop-off to avoid a long walk.
Stay in the far right lane on the 110 freeway to avoid the Vincent Thomas Bridge.
Screenshot your sail pass or have a paper copy due to spotty terminal Wi-Fi.
Complete the safety briefing (Mustard 2.0) in the app while waiting in the terminal.
