sisterteacher2010 Posted November 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2017 My DH has been to San Francisco before and he has done the Alcatraz day tour so I would like to do the Alcatraz night tour. I do not want to buy tickets through the excursion desk, I want to order from the Alcatraz ticket sight. My question is, has anyone done this and how do we get to Pier 33 and back to the ship?

ar1950 Posted November 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Google Alcatraz tours. There is an official ticket site that you can buy tickets from. Note that the night tours are not available during certain times of the year. There is a schedule page on the website that shows what tours are available for any given date. BTW, the fairy to the island is only a short ways from where the ship docks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pbears Posted November 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Be sure to reserve well in advance. Alcatraz tickets sell out fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Ok, take a breath. Some research on the West Coast Departures board would be good. The "ferry" (not "fairy") is only provided by one provider ( not associated with Princess), and a little research would get tons of info. And, a quick look look on the West Coast Departures board would should the distance to the Alcatraz pier is very short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonomaMist Posted November 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The Alcatraz ferry and port are within a short walk. The ferry is at Pier 33 and the cruise port is at Pier 35 with overflow at Pier 27 - very walkable. Did the night tour a few years ago -- really enjoyed it. Different from the daytime. https://www.alcatrazcruises.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) The Alcatraz ferry and port are within a short walk.

Different from the daytime. https://www.alcatrazcruises.com Absolutely NOT true. Such bad info. The cruise terminal is at Pier 27, just boarded the only ship in port that day, there a couple of weeks ago. If more than one ship, Pier 35 is one of the options to back up Pier 27. This is one reason some reading on the more appropriate board..the West Coast Departures board, would be beneficial. Yes, the Alcatraz ferry (not "fairy") is at Pier 33...a short walk away.

ar1950 Posted November 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2017 It’s sad when people take the time to correct someone’s spelling. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think everyone should just do what that particular poster said and "would should the distance". If you can figure it out. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2017 It is a very short walk and as recommended purchase your tickets well in advance. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 10, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I believe from Pier 27 (newer of the two Passenger cruise ship terminals) the distance is about three tenth's of a miles and between the older terminal at Pier 35 the distance is about one tenth of a mile.

disneyochem Posted November 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Highly recommend the night tour--have done it a number of times with out of state guests. Very different from the day tour (very spooky!). As stated earlier, get your tickets early!!! Check the website for availability and order through the official site.
