If we were to do the sightseeing tour after the cruise (Sunseekers picks up from the port, my understanding....and then returns us to the airport at the end of the 8 hour tour) we could fly in the day before.
If we are only there the night before the cruise would you still recommend going to Long Beach? We're two females traveling and don't want to stay near LAX if it's not a great place!
The Crowne Plaza LA Harbor was mentioned in a thread looks pretty good.
