A full day in Los Angeles built around the cruise terminals: pickup at the Long Beach or San Pedro terminal, a bus with "space for all your luggage" in the operator's words, the Coliseum, Griffith Observatory, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Venice, and a choice of drop-off back at the ship or at LAX at 4:30 p.m., at $159 per person as of October 3, 20261. The LAX option is the point for a disembarkation day: the morning off the ship is spent in the city and the day ends at the airport12.
Who it suits
- Passengers off a ship at Long Beach or San Pedro with an evening flight from LAX: the listing includes "LAX drop off (4:30 PM)"1.
- Anyone who wants to avoid a meeting point: "pickup at the cruise point", with the San Pedro pickup listed at 9:00 a.m.1.
Who should skip it
- Anyone with a flight before the evening: the LAX drop-off is at 4:30 p.m.1.
- Wheelchair users: "Not wheelchair accessible"1.
- Families with infants under 3, unless they bring a car seat: "You must bring your own seat"1.
- Anyone who wants Hollywood's paid attractions included: the TCL Chinese Theatre and Dolby Theatre stops are "Admission Ticket Not Included"1.
What it adds to a taxi to LAX
A day's sightseeing between the ship and the flight, with the bags aboard, as the operator's text puts it2. The itinerary gives 20 minutes at the Coliseum, 20 at Griffith Observatory, an hour on the Walk of Fame, an hour each at the Chinese Theatre, the Dolby Theatre and Sunset Plaza, a pass through Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, and 45 minutes at Venice Beach1. The hotels and the Passport bus around the terminal are in Hotels Near the Long Beach Cruise Terminal.
