SanFrancisco Pier and Walkability

[debnrick]

Sailing on the Miracle in May to Alaska. Anyone know if it sails out of Pier 27 or Pier 35? And anyone know if you can easily walk from Riu Hotel on Mason St. near Fisherman’s Wharf with suitcases? thank you

Should be Pier 27, unless there is more than one ship in. Than it might be 35.

 

Walking along the piers is as flat as can be, and the sidewalk is very wide in most places.

"Easily" is a judgement call, but that aside, the Riu isn't a great hotel. There are many, better options.

this site tells you which pier you dock at https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/san-francisco-port-2

there's a PDF with the full schedule on, we used it to find which pier our ship uses in May

I tried your link and still not sure which dock the Emerald Princess will be using on May 22, 2023???

The Emerald is at Pier 27 on 5/22/23.

Thanks.  I was hoping it would be at Pier 35 which is closer to Pier 39.  Do you know how far it is to Pier 39 and if it is walkable for someone with a walker?   Is there any shuttle service to Pier 39 and or Fisherman's Wharf.

We don't know your situation as we don't know you. The increased distance is 3/4s of a mile, according to Google Maps, on a wide, flat sidewalk.

Cabs and Ubers are cheap and plentiful.

That is not correct.  Emerald is scheduled to use Pier 35

It's an easy 5 minute walk from Pier 35.  I have asked to work both of your port days.  I'll let you know when the boss posts the assignments; I usually post on your roll call pages.

 Both of the Alaska sailings for the Miracle in May will be out of Pier 27

The link below (which will ask to open or save a pdf file) says the Emerald Princess is at Pier 27 for an overnight.

I ran into sfpd3000 on my Pacific Coastal cruise a year ago right outside Pier 27.  He was doing traffic duty that day. I asked him if he was on CC and he said yes. Super friendly cop with a smile.

[sfpd3000]

Of course it could still be wrong.  Afterall, it's still showing the Emerald getting in at midnight even though all of us know arrival time is at 8:00.

You're very kind.  Hope to see you again or even sail with you some day.

sfpd3000,

Thanks for the information. I'm on the Crown arriving on 10/22/23 (from Vancouver) at dock 35S.

When I return on the 29th (from the 7 day) I'm at dock 27.

Yes.  Since Ruby is the "SF-homeported" ship doing the full turns, she gets priority at the newer pier.  When the Ruby leaves for Ft Lauderdale and the Crown is homeported here, she will get priority at Pier 27.
