Years ago when we flew in the day of we took the city bus from airport to pier. It was very easy and we would not hesitate to do this again. This time we are flying in a few days early so may take the complimentary hotel shuttle. We are also staying one day post cruise. Actually we are flying in Dec 3 for Koningsdam Dec 5-16 cruise. We are then flying from SD to Las Vegas on 16th to visit friends, and will return to SD on the 19th, boarding the Koningsdam again for Dec 21-January 6. We are staying one day post cruise, flying home January 7.
