So here we are... at a lovely hotel in San Pedro, California, two blocks away from the Cruise Ship Terminal of the Port of Los Angeles. We were having a drink at the bar (Mojito for him, Sweet Ginger for me) and working out the timing of our morning. Sleep in, have a late breakfast, then head downstairs to catch the shuttle to the ship around noon, maybe 12:30. Check-in isn't until 1:30, so we'd be there early, no problem.
DH smartly decides to read the hotel's information sheet on cruise shuttle information. Blah, blah, blah, "The shuttle to the Carnival pier leaves only at 10:00, 11:00, and 12:00." Huh? "It takes approximately 20 minutes to get to the pier." Huh huh?
Turns out our hotel "right across the street" from the pier is right across the street from the pier... from the wrong pier. On the other side of the inlet from where we are. It's no real problem; we just had to rearrange our car parking arrangements (we had been planning to leave the car here at the hotel, now we'll drive to the Carnival pier ourselves and park at their parking structure).
Take note - The Port of Los Angeles has a cruise terminal pier at San Pedro AND Long Beach... If you're cruising on Carnival, go to Long Beach! (Yeah, we're still having fun!)
