sassystyxfan Posted January 18, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi there! Just thought I'd poke around here before our Mexican Riviera cruise on Mercury this April. Glad you all are here sharing your tips and experiences. Anyone else leaving from San Francisco on April 24, 2005? I'm still trying to figure out how to get to the pier (probably a friend driving us from Fairfield, CA). Blue Shuttle quoted $129 plus $10 per person. Seems high, no?

Leejnd4 Posted January 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hey, Sassy...love your screen name, I assume you're a big Styx fan? Do you go to many of their concerts? If so, you might know my sister...she's a longtime fan of the band and goes to many concerts, and knows the guys well. You'll love Mercury -- we cruised her to Alaska. You'll have a great time!

Bruin Steve Posted January 18, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2005 That sounds a bit high to me... Have you tried local limo services... Last cruise we found a limo service that cost less than the shuttle!! You could always drive to Richmond and take the BART to Embarcadero and get a cab from there... Maybe if you promised to bring Jelly Bellies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted January 18, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2005 If there are several of you coming, there is a covered parking garage at 55 Francisco - about two blocks from the pier. We park there and wheel our luggage over - no problem. Last time it was $12 in advance (in cash) each day, with a 10 day cruise counting as 11 days. They like to have a reservation made.

nparmelee Posted January 19, 2005 #12 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Fairfield to the SF dock, those prices sound about right, we used to live in Marin before esacaping to a more affordable place to live. I'd go with the friend driving you in.....Buy the friend a lunch or dinner....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassystyxfan Posted January 19, 2005 Author #13 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hey, Sassy...love your screen name, I assume you're a big Styx fan? Do you go to many of their concerts? If so, you might know my sister...she's a longtime fan of the band and goes to many concerts, and knows the guys well. You'll love Mercury -- we cruised her to Alaska. You'll have a great time! LeeAnne I AM a big Styx fan. A friend I met on Styxboard gave me the name because of a haircut - he said it looked sassy! I go to concerts when they're in our area (some people fly places to see them!), and am hooked. I have met some of the boyz too - they are so nice to the fans. Wasn't a fan till I went to my first show in 2000. ANYWAY...who is your sister? Can't WAIT till the cruise. We love Royal Caribbean - the Voyager was a phenominal ship, but decided to go Celebrity since we wouldn't have to fly to get to the pier. I HATE flying. Scares me to death. SO - that's my story!

Maybe if you promised to bring Jelly Bellies... Careful, Steve...jelly bellies is a very good offer! I may check the Davis Airporter and see what they say. Otherwise, that limo thing is sounding really good! Hadn't thought about that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you guys know...Styx had a cruise show package deal thing and I didn't go to that BECAUSE it was on Carnival. So there you go! And thank you to everyone for the warm welcome here.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
