See what it is like embarking on a Carnival cruise ship at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, in the greater Los Angeles area. Embarkation was a pretty smooth process, and definitely fast and efficient. What was especially surprising was that you don't get the room key card at check in- you go onboard the cruise ship without it, using a barcode receipt for each passenger in its stead. It is only when the cabins are ready do you tear open an envelope outside your stateroom which contains your room keycards.
Parking was easy as the garage is a short 5 to 10 minute walk to the terminal building. It is also where you are dropped off if you are not parking there.
The Long Beach Cruise terminal building itself as you can see is pretty interesting outside and inside. It is a white domed building covered with triangular panels situated next to the Queen Mary, with an equally interesting interior decorated tastefully by Carnival cruise line. We were embarking the ship near Christmas, and there were many festive holiday decor inside the terminal.
After check-in you have to walk up a ramp that goes several stories high before going on a covered gangway bridge entering the ship. This particular cruise port also has a Carnival's Captain's Lounge, though we did not see anyone needing to make use of it because the boarding process went very quickly.
At the end of the video, before our cruise ship, the Carnival Imagination, sailed away, we were able to see the Queen Mary light up at night at the Port of Long Beach. Enjoy and please feel free to comment or ask question if you have any and we'd be more than happy to answer!
This was from our late December 2018 4 day Catalina/Mexico cruise on the Carnival Imagination.
