The Port of Long Beach is where Carnival Cruise has set up shop, whereas the rest depart from the Port of San Pedro.

The Dome

The Dome has been used as the Bat Cave and Wayne Manor in a couple of Batman Movies. It hosted ice sculpture contests and Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose, which is now in Oregon. When the Dome was completed, it cost $4,000,000. The Dome sits on a 45-acre site called the Queen Mary Complex.

Carnival Cruise Line

After 15 years in Long Beach, Carnival wanted something more, and they got it. They operate out of the Dome that housed Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose; the Spruce Goose is now in Oregon. With the desire to cruise bigger ships on the West Coast, Carnival needed more than 66,000 square feet. So in 2018, it took over the whole Dome, all 142,000 square feet.
