Long Beach Carnival cruisers:

Dear Carnival Panorama Guest,

Due to limited parking at the Port of Long Beach, we have secured an offsite parking area for your sailing, but we encourage guests to use alternate transportation that does not require parking. If driving is still your preferred method, your experience on embarkation day will be as follows:
Drive to the terminal, where you will drop off luggage and traveling companion(s).

While in the car line, you will receive directions to the offsite facility and a card for entry and identification as a Carnival guest.

A team member will check your boarding pass (please keep it in hand).
Parking is US$20, per day (including embarkation and debarkation day), and must be paid in advance, upon entry. A dedicated agent will be available to process your card payment, as only card payments will be accepted. Parking accommodations will be in place for guests with mobility limitations.
Complimentary shuttles will bring you to the terminal for embarkation and back to the parking facility at the end of your cruise.

The last shuttle will leave the parking facility 30 minutes prior to final boarding time on your boarding pass.

The parking facility cannot accommodate:
Vehicles higher than 6 feet 6 inches.
Oversized vehicles (those utilizing more than one parking space).
Back-to-back guests (those sailing on consecutive voyages), as parking is only available for the length of a single voyage.

No matter what you choose, please adhere to your pre-selected Terminal Arrival Appointment. We must allow debarking guests to leave the cruise terminal before we can accommodate your arrival. Guests who arrive before their selected time will be asked to return later.

In preparation for departure, all guests must be at the cruise terminal by the final boarding time that’s indicated on the boarding pass.
