Disembarking in San Fran....

[Cruise Junky]

Hi - we're doing a two day coastal into San Fran and am wondering what to do for a few hours. Does anyone know if Princess does tours in a city when were you're disembarking? is there anywhere in the pier to leave luggage for a few hours? our flight isn't until 4:30 pm.

 

Thanks

We recently took a cruise out of SF. There really wasn't anywhere to leave luggage after the cruise. Our flight wasn't until late afternoon, so we took a taxi to the airport, checked our luggage, then took the BART back to the Ferry Building to have lunch and wander around for a bit. It's easy to do and much better than sitting in the airport all morning and afternoon. If you prefer, you could exit the BART at Union Square and hit the shops or the cable cars for a ride around the area.

I also posted this on the Princess site and someone said you can walk to Pier 35 or 39 (which ever the touristy one is) and check your bag at the California Vistors Center for $5 a bag. We might end up doing that. Tx.

Pier 39 is the toruisty one. Its located 400 yards west of Pier 35, the cruise terminal. Here are some links that may help
