Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm fresh back from my very first time using the Long Beach Cruise Terminal.

I had a 10:30 a.m. boarding time. We did not actually get on the ship until 1:10 p.m.

If available, consider the Queen Mary as a drop off andor a pickup point.

Tip the porters. Always got to be nice to the porters. They work very hard.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Compare flight, hotel, and transfer costs for LAX, LGB, and SNA airports.

✓Mock bookings to estimate transfer costs and potentially get coupons.

✓Consider staying at the Queen Mary for easier boarding and pickup.

✓Check for events at the Queen Mary that may cause traffic delays.

✓Leave early to avoid traffic and ensure timely boarding.
