So if you intend to get one, go to the USO as early in the day as you can manage!   John Olsen Member Username: Johnny Post Number: 11 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, October 25, 2009 - 08:31 pm:    Try the USO at LAX for inexpensive hotel chits for active duty and retirees. Also if you are brave and don't have a lot of luggage The USO will give you directions for using the local transit system to get to the cruise terminal. Less $2.00 per person each way.   JEB Senior Member Username: Wingrider Post Number: 419 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 24, 2009 - 10:02 pm:    We used a company called Prime Time Shuttle there last Feb and were very happy with them. They were reasonable, I think around $20 per person to take us to our ship. We had a large group traveling and reserved an entire van for $90. You can reserve online but I think you can also just pay there and get on at the airport. They have reps at LAX and anyone at the airport can direct you to them. They will also be on the pier end when the ship returns to shuttle PAX back. This website should give you all the info you need. http://www.redvans.com/   Carmon R Senior Member Username: Ckroy Post Number: 942 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Saturday, October 24, 2009 - 09:38 pm:    We are going out of Long Beach on the 24th of January for 7 day cruise to Mexico. Any suggestions for places to stay the night prior that may offer shuttle to ship? Also, flying into LAX, looking for suggestions to get to Long Beach as we don't plan to get rental car. Thanks in advance!!
