Long Beach cruise parking: every option and what it costs
The garage next to the terminal costs about $23 a day: $161 for a week, or about $115 for a 5-night cruise. It can't be reserved, and on busy sailings Carnival sends drivers to a city-run overflow lot with a shuttle, so read its emails before you go.
There's no private shuttle lot in Long Beach. Downtown hotel garages sell cruise parking on SpotHero and Way.com from about $84 a week, a short rideshare across the bridge, and the Maya includes up to 7 nights' parking and a shuttle with a hotel stay.

The terminal garage regularly fills on holiday weekends and busy sailings. Carnival then directs drivers to an offsite city lot: drop your bags and passengers at the terminal first, then follow the directions you're given and take the shuttle back.
