The World Cruise Center in San Pedro is the main cruise terminal at the Port of Los Angeles, and the Long Beach Cruise Terminal sits next to the Queen Mary. Both handle large ships, and on turnaround days thousands of passengers arrive and leave within a few hours.
Each terminal sets its own ground transportation areas for motorcoaches, and the drop and pickup points can change with the ship schedule. The operator confirms the current arrangement before the day.
Most cruise groups fly into LAX, where a coach collects them at the commercial vehicle area and drives 30 to 60 minutes to the port on I-405, I-110 or I-710. Some groups stay in a hotel the night before and ride to the terminal in the morning, which reduces the risk of a missed ship.
Luggage is the main sizing factor. A coach carries about one large checked bag per seat, and cruise passengers often bring more. Send passenger and bag counts so the vehicle fits the luggage.
Pricing is all-in, and the vehicle can be held for a block of hours to cover several flights. Book three to four weeks ahead, earlier for holiday sailings.
