Long Beach Marriott Downtown, 111 E Ocean Avenue, Long Beach
Easy walk to Long Beach waterfront, restaurants, 15 min from pier
Good if you are driving and want to keep your car at the hotel
Good option if you are flying into Long Beach or Orange County but totally doable if flying into LAX
01.05 Update: I have an 8 King and 12 Queen group booking set up with the Marriott. The rate for a king is $230 plus tax and two queens is $250 plus tax. Please let me know if you book a room so I can have a count for the shuttle to the port the morning of 07.04. Note the hotel does not provide a shuttle so there will be a fee for the private shuttle or uber. If you try to book and the group is full let me know and I will try to get additional rooms added but this isn't guaranteed.

If you park onsite, it looks like you will have the ability to drop your luggage with the porter at the terminal and then go back and park.
You can also google other parking sites for the pier if you would like to reduce parking fees.
Southwest has opened their schedule through July, 2025
LAX appears to have lower fare than flying into Long Beach
Long Beach is more convenient if you like smaller airports
I personally would not book any flight home before noon, especially out of LAX. This may mean you have hours to kill before your flight or it may be that you will be running to the gate. You never know with cruises and how effecient the disembarkation process will be.
An example: we are flying into Long Beach on 07.03 arriving around 3pm and departing on 07.11 on the 12:05pm flight.
