This was a cruise round trip from San Pedro to the Hawaiian Islands.
I suggest you use John Wayne airport and avoid LAX. We arrived the day before and spent the afternoon and evening at the Double Tree. They have a free shuttle to the ship.
The embarkation was amazingly quick and easy. Our luggage was delivered to the cabin as we arrived.
Our cabin was spacious, clean, and in good shape. The bed was very comfortable. Our cabin stewart was attentive but not intrusive.
