Hotel Recommendations:

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.

Crown Plaza: Los Angeles Harbor Hotel

Check site for updated rates.

There are many park & cruise options, some of which include transportation to the pier. Check webiste for details. 

Located closer to the pier but not many ameneties around the area

Good option if you are driving and want to keep your car at the hotel

Good option if you are flying into LAX

Both hotels appear to be good options and there are many more in the area if you want to look for other options!

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.

 

 

 

Flight Recommendations:

 

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.
