LGB to San Pedro

Hi There!

Should a 1:30 arrival at LGB (from SEA) be enough time for a cruise leaving San Pedro at 4? Or better to arrange to arrive earlier at LAX?

Thank you!

Sailing at 4pm means being on board 90 minutes earlier. What if your flight is late? No way would I book a 1:30 arrival for a 4pm sailing.

I would even avoid a same day flight. What if there's weather issues? Or a major earthquake?

Thanks for confirming that was a bad idea!

We'll plan to arrive the day before!

Good you've decided to fly the day before. One of my sayings- "Every man has a plan that will not work...." :)

Hmmm...best understatement of 2016, thus far. :D;)

I would arrive the day before the ship leave but if you can't early that morning.

If you come in that day (which I stand by my advice above), make doubly sure your driver knows to take you to the port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. If you just say the port, you may end up at the Port of Long Beach, whose one berth serves Carnival.

I would arrive minimally a day in advance. A lot depends on the time of year.

During the winter, we arrive two days before the cruise. Even though we live in a moderate climate area, the lesson for us from this winter's recent storm is even a day may not be enough. For our cruise this coming December, we are arriving on Sunday for a cruise that departs on a Tuesday. Conceivably, we would have missed the ship's departure last December if our scheduled arrival had been the day before.
