pklein9747 Posted December 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2017 We will be sailing on the Ruby Princess in March. It is a California Coastal cruise and we will be in both San Francisco and San Diego all day...7 AM - 11 PM. In San Francisco, planning on doing Alcatraz (buying tickets this week!) and then a Hop-on, Hop-off. In San Diego, the zoo has always been a bucket list item for me. But in both places what we have planned ends about 5-6 PM. Since we don't have to be back on board until 10:30...What can we do until 10 PM? We welcome any other thoughts about our itinerary. It will be our first time in California. We both like historical sights and the history of places that we visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted December 11, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 11, 2017 For San Francisco consider having dinner off the ship or go for drink after or before dinner depending on what time you dine on the ship. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pklein9747 Posted December 14, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Since we're in port until 11 PM in San Francisco, we've decided to do the Alcatraz Evening Tour at 5:55 PM and will do the HOHO bus in the morning and afternoon. Now we can make the most of our day in port and we hear that the evening tour at Alcatraz is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellbon Posted May 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I would go to the theatre as long as it was at 730. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie.A Posted May 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hi, If you are looking for an atypical activity in San Francisco, I recommend a roller disco party in an old church! The previous Sacred Heart Church (554 Fillmore St. San Francisco) is now hosting roller-skating on Friday and Saturday night (from 7 pm to 11 pm. It’s $15 including entrance + skate rental). I experienced it with my friends and it was really fun! If you’re interested, more information regarding my experience at http://daydreamunderthestars.com/2018/05/10/omg-i-rollerbladed-in-a-church/ Let me know if you have any questions Enjoy your California trip!

KeepCalmBearOn Posted May 17, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2018 In San Diego I'd go have dinner in Little Italy, which is just a few blocks from the cruise port. There are also some fun bars, including the oldest bar is San Diego, The Waterfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
