Philob Posted June 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Our ship docks at 8 am. What would you suggest as earlier st tour to take to Alkatraz Island??? FYI: Tickets to Alcatraz (The Rock) sell out months in advance. Sail-by Bay tours are a plenty. Edited June 9, 2016 by Philob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulubelle45 Posted June 9, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Im thinking about time. 10 am?? Its not till end of Sept but i want to buy tickets asap. Just wondering if we will be able to get off ship quickly enough. When the say they dock at 8am is that what time we can get off ship or is there still customs to clear? Its an NCL ship so how far is the ferry to Alkatraz??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted June 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2016 It's Alcatraz. The ferry to the island departs from Pier 33. No matter what cruise line you are on, they dock at Pier 27 (primarily ) or Pier 35 (if 27 is booked). You should not have a problem with a 10am excursion.

Rare Keith1010 Posted June 10, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2016 10:00 AM would be fine. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Just want to add that right now tickets are available 25 dates out. But always wise to get them as soon as you know your dates/times. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipsandDipper Posted July 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Is this a coastal coming down from Canada, where San Francisco is the first US stop? One time when we did that, the ship was at the dock for 3 hours before passengers were cleared to leave. A lot of people missed their early Alcatraz tours. We didn't have any set plans (we've visited San Francisco a lot) and I was so glad! Edited July 3, 2016 by ShipsandDipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time i did this one, San Francisco was to be our 2nd US stop, but we were unable to dock in Astoria so in fact it was our first. We were off by 9. (2011) I HOPE WE GET OFF IN TIME!!!!!

KateH Posted July 11, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Is it walkable from pier 27 (where ship docks) to pier 33 (to Alcatraz) ? Or is there a shuttle? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulubelle45 Posted July 11, 2016 Author #11 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Ive been told its like a 10 min walk at the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very walkable...totally flat, sidewalks. How long it takes depends on you, and which pier...see above comments. 1 would say no more than 20 minutes, but again, depends on those variables.

Lulubelle45 Posted July 28, 2016 Author #16 Share Posted July 28, 2016 We are also doing this but one issue is finding storage for luggage. When I recently did a tour in San Diego, we found a nearby hotel to hold our luggage for us. The didn't charge for the service but of course gladly accepted a generous tip for the trouble. Call around and ask. Worth it imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
