For a cruise I was on several years ago we drove to Long Beach and stayed at a hotel nearby.  The hotel did not offer a park/cruise package so we drove to the pier and parked there.  I can't remember what we paid...we only went for the 3 day Ensenada cruise.  But it was really convenient and the parking garage is right there.  You only have to walk a short distance out of the garage and there are plenty of people right there to take your luggage to the ship.  If the cost is comparable between the park/cruise pkg. at the hotel and parking at the pier yourself, I'd rather park at the pier.  When you leave your cruise you may not feel like waiting around for a shuttle to take you back to your hotel.
