Airfare

Airfare is not included in our pricing.  We are a Cruise and Tour Company and do not offer Air other than what the Cruise line offers.  With most domestic flights you can find much better pricing on your own if you know where to look.  In the case of flying to Los Angeles we can share a couple of things.  If flying from the western states we suggest you check with Southwest Airlines, and JetBlue – these will offer the best prices in most cases.

Southwest services Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).  JetBlue services Long Beach Airport (LGB). 
To book Southwest or JetBlue you must contact them directly or through their websites.

Southwest        http://www.southwest.com/ or   1-800-I-FLY-SWA (1-800-435-9792)

JetBlue             http://www.jetblue.com/     or    1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583)

All other airlines may be checked through Search Engines like Travelocity.com, Orbitz.com, or Expedia.com.  We have found it best to search here, but then try to book directly with the airline for better service.  This is especially true in the case of flight changes, delays, and cancellations – so you don’t have to feel like a stepchild in these situations. 

If you are flying cross country and arriving the day of the cruise, we would then suggest you consider the Cruise line for 2 reasons.  1. They will guarantee to get you to the ship or the first port of call on their dime.  2. Transfers are included in their Air prices.  It's worth checking before you decide and you may cancel the air booked with the cruise line up until final payment without penalty. 

For more help, just call us at CruiseFun 1-866-3256-2338 or 1-405-282-8989.

Westin Long Beach Hotel

Some have called us requesting information regarding Hotel Accommodations in Long Beach. We recommend the Westin Long Beach Hotel.

We have stayed there ourselves and found it to be very comfortable. And - just around the corner from the hotel (walking distance) is Pine Street. On Pine you can find Eateries, shopping and Night Life. All at the Harbor's Edge !

Just a few blocks away is the Aquarium of the Pacific which features marine life from around the Pacific Rim - very nice. And of course you can always go early to the ship on Sunday and tour the Queen Mary.

A SuperShuttle from LAX to the Hotel is $18.00 and then a Cab to pier is about $10.00
