LAX to Long Beach Cruise Terminal

Carnival identifies Long Beach Cruise Terminal at the Queen Mary at 231 Windsor Way, Long Beach. Check that terminal against your own line, ship and sailing documents before requesting the LAX transfer. Include the terminal or berth instructions from those documents and any later update from the cruise line.

The Los Angeles Cruise Terminal at the Port of Los Angeles is in San Pedro, at 100 Swinford Street. It is a different destination. A cruise sold as departing ‘Los Angeles’ should be checked by terminal name and full address rather than routed automatically to Long Beach. If the documents say San Pedro, submit that actual destination for review.

The terminal address identifies where the trip goes; it does not confirm a particular pickup lane, port access or greeting inside the facility. Your accepted trip needs its actual permitted loading arrangement, subject to terminal signs and staff directions.

Give the flight, local arrival date, cruise line, ship and sailing date, with the arrival appointment or check-in window and final boarding deadline shown in the cruise documents. Carnival's guidance distinguishes the arrival appointment from final boarding. A private transfer cannot extend a cruise line's boarding deadline.

Allow for LAX arrival formalities, collecting the entire party's luggage, meeting the car, road conditions and the terminal's check-in process. A flight landing close to the sailing deadline needs a realistic review; a fixed drive-time estimate does not protect a same-day connection. If you decide to arrive a day earlier, enter the hotel-to-terminal ride as a separate leg.

Keep boarding documents, passports or other required travel documents, medicines and essential items with you. Follow the cruise line's current rules for luggage acceptance and boarding. Tell the concierge promptly about a delayed flight or changed sailing instructions so the requested transport can be re-coordinated where possible.

Count suitcases and carry-ons as well as passengers, then describe large cases, strollers, garment bags and mobility equipment. Executive and Luxury Sedans list up to 2 passengers and 3 bags; Executive and Luxury SUVs list up to 6 passengers and 6 bags. Oversized pieces or equipment can require a different arrangement even when the passenger count fits.

For a larger party, choose the group vehicle option in the main booking form and request a written quote with the complete load. Include each family's pickup, flight and expected readiness if people arrive separately. If travelers are not together, one airport pickup may not cover the plan; the arrangement may need separate rides or coordinated vehicles.

Child-seat requests require an SUV, with up to two requested in advance subject to availability. Supply each child's age, weight, height and seat type. If the party needs a Sprinter or another group vehicle, do not assume the SUV restraint arrangement transfers to that vehicle; ask for the suitable configuration to be confirmed before acceptance.

The ship's scheduled arrival is not the time your party is ready for a car. Allow for the line's disembarkation process, collecting bags, any customs or immigration processing and reaching the agreed vehicle meeting point. Provide a reachable traveler contact and a requested pickup time that reflects those steps.

Keep the group together with all luggage collected before moving to the confirmed loading area. Follow the line's and terminal staff's exit directions, then use Artisan's confirmed pickup instructions for the booked vehicle. A cruise-line motorcoach representative or meeting point is not automatically the meeting point for your private car.

For a flight after the cruise, include the actual airport, airline, departure time and bag-drop requirements. Discuss the connection before committing to a tight flight. Carnival publishes flight guidelines for its own transfer program; those are not a guarantee that every private-car itinerary will work. Traffic and passenger clearance can change the return plan.

Terminal pickup uses the written scheduled-pickup terms. An airport wheels-down allowance does not automatically apply to the ship's arrival. If disembarkation takes longer than expected, contact the concierge promptly; changes and additional waiting follow the accepted arrangement.

This page primarily plans LAX to Long Beach Cruise Terminal. If your flight uses Long Beach Airport, request LGB as the origin; Carnival also identifies that airport in its own Long Beach transfer program. An airport change creates a different route and pickup plan, so review the actual journey before acceptance.

Add a hotel stay, luggage drop or onward appointment as a named stop when it belongs in the trip. Do not assume the terminal can store your bags while you explore after the cruise. If you need the car between several stops, request hourly service and describe the whole schedule; one terminal transfer does not reserve a vehicle for the rest of the day.

The full price uses the actual LAX origin, terminal destination, vehicle and requested itinerary. The price is specific to the selected vehicle and itinerary, rather than one fixed LAX-to-terminal fare. Required normal trip fees are included for the accepted journey; gratuity is optional. Added stops, approved changes and waiting beyond the agreed allowance can change the cost under the accepted terms.

Submit sedan, SUV and group requests through the same booking form. An eligible card-saving request does not charge or confirm the ride. If Artisan approves the exact request, confirmation follows successful payment of the accepted total. A revised offer requires your acceptance; group vehicles receive a written quote with their own accepted payment and cancellation terms.

Check both the outward and return details before accepting: terminal, sailing, dates, ready times, passenger and bag counts, options and destination. If the cruise line changes the terminal or arrival plan, send the update to the concierge; the changed itinerary needs review rather than an automatic substitution.
