That was one of my top contenders along with the Kimpton

I actually just booked the Westin at SFO which was a lot cheaper and a really good rate compared to most places especially down by the pier which I learned very quickly is very expensive.

Ah ok. When I went to look at Uber from the airport down to the pier it was looking at about roughly $36 and change. And I know for myself I like the convenience of coming and going at my own free will and a quiet setting without a group of people. But was considering the shuttle if it was priced well.

Oh you're doing the shuttle. Which makes perfect sense. I have not looked or inquired yet but how much is the shuttle from Princess from the airport to the Pier?

Anyone have any hotel recommendations near Pier 27 in San Fran? Or would you stay by the SFO Airport for a one day arrival before embarkation day?

Anyone have a favorite hotel in walking distance to Pier 27?

Have opted to come in the day before as when I was checking the history of this flight It can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours late which it is today. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Making the flight arrive after 1:00 or close to 2:00 pm.

Also looking at possibly flying in day of with a non-stop flight which arrives 11:57am hoping I should be fine on a Monday afternoon when I grab an Uber and head over. If anyone have thoughts and input on the embarkation day flight I'm all ears.

Which is why I love cruising out of Fort Lauderdale. 20 minutes from the house.

Love this!!!! Thanks for the tip.

I love when the port uses facial recognition does make a huge world of difference. Thank you so much for letting me know a rough estimation of when I could be out by the curb That helps.

Woohoo!!!! That's amazing! I'd like to think I would be fine as I'm always at risk taker but like I said this is slightly earlier than I typically get a flight like I said he usually have done as early as 11:45. Does anyone know how early the ship starts doing their disembarkation? I know what it usually is in Fort Lauderdale but unsure with SFO.

Love this idea! I actually just want to look at OAK but the times are roughly what they are if I was to have left from SFO and they sadly don't have any non-stop which is usually a big preference of mine. But I truly immensely appreciate that beautiful recommendation.

Yes domestic flight. Flying back to FLL from SFO.

Carry on luggage only, and I have TSA PreCheck 😉

I know that when you book through Princess EZ air they ask when flying home that you get a flight that's 1:00 p.m. or later. But I know I personally have flown several times from LAX or Seattle to go home with a flight that's much earlier just as long as I get off by 7:30 a.m. but I don't remember if I've done one that early though I may want to say about 11:45 I've done a flight

Is a 10:45am flight out of SFO on a Saturday morning doable from a cruise from the San Francisco cruise terminal? Not sure how San Fran traffic is.

Awe. This made me smile. Yes such a fantastic cruise. How exciting for your Denmark, Sweden itinerary. Both great countries to visit. I"m too booked back on the Sky 2025, but for the alternative itinerary she was doing with Iceland and some different port of calls of Norway. Norway has quickly become one of my most favorite destinations in the world, holding a very special spot in my heart, that's that unforgettable summer cruise. The Sky is a great ship, as I was just recently on here 3 weeks ago. Great to see the same familiar crew working board.

Pretty much as soon as you get on board you can. I always go straight to my cabin to drop my luggage off and usually I head off to the mustard station to tap in while my mustard drill is playing on my phone.

The drills on princess are so easy You literally check in at your mustard station with your medallion and then you can either watch your safety drill either on your stateroom TV or on your mobile device. Other than that there are no demonstrations or speeches. It's absolutely amazing!

No you don't get special privileges to enter the dining room early for lunch It is a strict 11:30 a.m. start time regardless. On the second week you do not need to redo your safety drill.

I appreciate the leeway. I'm going to be very honest I tend to do more voice to text and I'm just a terrible human being when it comes to double checking. When I do double check especially on a lengthy one I tend to miss things. Your understanding is very well appreciative.
