We came in a day early and stayed at Best Western of San Pedro. They offered free cruise terminal shuttles. We enjoyed a tour of the USS Iowa while we were in town. ...
We were looking to have the In-Transit Shuffle take up part of the day here, but U.S.Customs had been cleared in Vancouver, so we just got to walk off and enjoy a few hours ashore.
Then on the disembarkation here it was a snap just walking through Customs. Much nicer now without having to lug your own luggage through the inspection stations. Way to go U.S. Customs! ...
We stayed there before so visited Universal Studios, Rodeo Drive, Beverley Hills and the Chinese Theatre which we regarded as the essentials.
Also spent an evening in Santa Monica which is a nice place to have dinner. ...
