We just got off the Crown on Sunday May 26 and went to SFO for an 11:50 am flight. We had no issues. We actually had some breakfast from the buffet first and did walk-off with our bags around 8 am. They had us line up in the Vista lounge with a winding line but if moved quickly. Once off, we walked across the street to Lombard street and got an Uber ride. Arrived SFO at 8:45 and checked a bag then went through security (w/TSA Precheck). So a 10:45 am flight is probably doable but you can't always assume the ship will dock on time and no traffic problems. Good luck!

Our last couple cruises we always got the Plus package and one of our favorites places onboard was stopping at Vines for a nice glass (or two 😀) of wine before dinner. As long as as you got a drink there they would always serve you a plate of light appetizers (e.g., cheese, crackers, etc.) at no charge - it was the only thing, to my knowledge, you could even get to eat there. Now it looks like they will be charging for anything you eat there (regardless of buying a drink or not). I never considered Vines as a "casual dining option" before so I I'd be very interested to hear from anyone on a current cruise if that's the case, or do they still give you the "free" light appetizers if you get a drink first?
