Cactus527 Posted December 9, 2024 Report Posted December 9, 2024 LA is what I consider my "home" port, as it's the closest for me from home. Before, I've always done Uber/Lyft or arranged things with my TA beforehand. Now it seems RC is offering more options YOU can book yourself. You can book through your TA or RC for transportation from LAX the morning of your cruise. I've yet to see it in the cruise planner excursions or in the app for LA yet. You'll meet the RC representative in the baggage claim area of certain terminals, they'll check you in, and shuttles begin after 9am. Wholly dependant on how many people have booked. My work around for this is to fly in the night before, stay at an airport hotel, take the hotel shuttle back to the airport in the morning, and do the RC shuttle to the port. After your cruise, you can get shuttle transportation to either LAX ($35/person) or LGB (Long Beach, $29/person). This price is one way. You can book these either in the app (under the "Depart" tab after you're on board, Day 1 or 2 of your cruise), or you can apparently buy it at the booth by the shuttle upon exiting customs. The shuttle departure group is around 8am, and they leave for the airport around 8:30am. For LAX, depending on traffic, you will arrive just after 9am. For LGB, it would be probably a 15-20 minute ride. This is a great option for solo travelers or even a pair of travelers (surge pricing on Uber/Lyft is awful!). My rides on these shuttles have always been 25-35% full (FL shuttles were always 100% full, for perspective). I hope this information helps anyone traveling out of LA for a cruise. If anything is incorrect or there are adjustments needed, please go ahead and add them in the comments! KristiZ, WAAAYTOOO, Pattycruise and 2 others 3 2 Quote
