Agree with reply posted by scabbardgirl.
If you fly into or out of Long Beach and stay in Long Beach hotel, local
taxis are all you'll need; and there are sufficient waterfront /
harborfront attractions in Long Beach to make an overnight stay not
unpleasant.
If you fly into or out of LAX, there are numerous major chain hotels
just outside the airport entrance, with free shuttles to the airline
terminal; and while I've not actually done it, I'd be pretty certain you
can get SuperShuttle or other direct "door to door" shuttle service or
direct bus service for the circa one-hour transfer to the Long Beach
cruise termnal, if not directly from one of these hotels, then just by
taking the hotel shuttle back to the LAX terminal and picking one up
from there.

Michael,
While Long Beach Airport (LGB) is indeed smaller that Los Angeles
International (LAX), Santa Ana Airport (SNA) is smaller yet. However, SNA is
closer to attractions such as Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm, but much
further away from the Port of Los Angeles (San Pedro) for your Princess
Cruise.
Some of the responses you have received in this reference already provided
some good advice, one even mentioning the Queen Mary attraction and hotel,
yet wisely pointing out the historical interest, but also not a top rate
hotel. Therefore, there is no point in me adding to this dialogue, even
though I live around 15 to 20 miles away from Long Beach/San Pedro and the
cruise ship ports.

Queen Mary is really fun, though. The walls are thin, though. I could
hear the guy next door talking in a normal voice, everything he said.
The rooms are decorated in the vintage style, including the plumbing.
The haunted ship tour was fun for my daughter who got really scared.
The pool was creepy!

SNA is John Wayne airport, definitely not smaller than Long Beach.
