How can I contact you 

Are there still available 

I’m blown away with the responses and valuable information. Thank you all for the info and suggestions and the time taken to help .  We cruise often but definitely a fish out of water for the west coast.  Definitely have some more homework now 😄 but more informed as well. I’m gonna start googling these hotel suggestions!

Thank you for taking the time to answer . What great ideas.  My husband wants to rent a car but I have read returning the car on Sunday is a no go as they are closed and only opened till 1 on Saturday.  We just don’t want to be stuck in a hotel with nothing nearby for 2 days . Then the flight going home not till 10 is tricky.  After a tour we will be dropped off at the airport around 2-3 p and will sit at the airport for 7-8 hrs.  Maybe we will rent a room near the airport coming home and use a pool .  Any hotels you suggest in either Long Beach or Santa Monica ?iI like the idea tour LA on Saturday.

We are flying from NJ on 11-29 (Friday)to Lax arriving at 11:15am.  The Joy leaves on Sunday out of San Pedro .  This is also the weekend after Thanksgiving so expecting crowds everywhere. Is Anaheim a good choice for 2 nights pre cruise? We have never been to California so we are looking for some ideas.  2 adults no kids coming on this trip.  Then after the cruise we leave at 10:15p. Do they have Day rooms near lax ? Was thinking about taking a tour to see LA? All suggestions welcomed!

Why does my celebrity app list my family verandah category as all three veranda/aqua class/concierge ?

we will be on the Equinox next week.  We are emerald on Royal Caribbean. 

How long is the ride back ? Would leaving at 2 be safe ?

We will be going to Mr Sanchos in April and wondering what the traffic is like coming back to the ship?  We have a 4 pm departure, what time would you leave the resort to be safe ? There will be 4 ships in port this day .

So where do they go? Another sea day ?

On NCl, Boarding time says 2 hours before ship sails. Does this go by Island time or Ship time?
