Don't apologize for being grumpy! I agree with you 100%. Seems that 95% of everyone complaining about MSC are from the YC! Been on one MSC cruise and 8 Carnival along with several other lines. Not a bad cruise in any of them. Most have been inside rooms, possibly an Ocean View here and there if it wasn't too much more. Usually 4 in a cabin. It's a vacation people...you are not at work. Booked Preziosa for Sep 2020.

I got an email back from Long Beach City saying they only let you park at the Convention Center and/or the City Lot A for the 3 and 4 days cruises now....and NOT for the Panorama 7 day. I wonder how they control it?

I had a reservation for a zodiac whale watching from Cabo Adventures but they cancelled me since I'm arriving via cruise ship and forced me to pay more than double if I wanted to keep my reservation. Obviously, I said no this scam. I know there are other whale watching that I can just book right there at the pier/marina, but I think most of those are the bigger boats. I'd still like a zodiac smaller experience. Anyhow know or remember seeing any of those available as you get off the tender there at the pier? Thank you!

Were you also then 1 hour ahead of Cabo time? Did you arrive early there as well?

Oh!!!! That makes more sense that it's a magnet..must have used tons of Tac! ha ha!

As others have reported, do NOT use Cabo Adventures! They are horrible to work with! First of all, they have captive dolphins in an extremely small enclosure and they market their dolphin adventure like it's something less captive than it really is. Also they will cancel you without permission if you are arriving on a cruise ship and you book with Cabo Adventures direct. I had a whale watching tour booked direct that cost $110 on the ship. Price direct was less than half the cruise price. Cabo Adventure cancelled me and forced me to book with the cruise line (which I did NOT do). There are plenty other whale watching tours. Last time in Cabo, we were hit up on the marina for all kinds of tours. Stay away from Cabo Adventures though!

This is what I received from the City of Long Beach when I asked about the elusive Lot A I've read about on here: The only parking structure we have overnight parking for, which would allow overnight parking for a whole week, is Lot A (50 E. 6th St. Long Beach, CA 90802). With a monthly pass, per the parking agreement by the City, vehicles need to be moved every 72 hours. For the Carnival cruises, there is an exception made for Lot A so customers can pull a parking ticket as they enter the lot and pay the daily amount ($12.00) per day once they are ready to leave.

Perfect. I got some today. Do you have a template for the big poster in the middle? If not, I am going to try and make one similar.

That's for the Imagination though. I'm on the Panorama and have received no such letter.

LOVE the door decorations! Is it a metal door, and you use magnets, or did you use the tak stuff for your decorations? Thanks!

I'm wondering the same thing. The last time we cruised out of Long Beach, (Feb 2019), I tried going to the parking structure at 6th St and it was empty and no shuttles. I'd prefer to park there as it's half the price, but I haven't been able to find anything more about that lot now.
