Star out of SFO

[goinsoon]

Could anyone tell me which pier Princess "normally" uses in San Francisco? Looking at hotels, etc.... Thanks!

I believe it is Pier 35. Isn't 39 the one with all the shops? It is a couple of hundred yards from there

Yes Pier 35. Sheraton Fishermans Wharf is a great hotel to stay. Walking distance to Pier. Have stayed there twice before cruises.

If you are cruising in December of 2014, then it looks like you will be cruising out of the new terminal, which is Pier 27.

This is correct. The new terminal opens about a year from now I believe.

The port schedule doesn't have any piers listed for 2014 yet.

Yes, it looks like the Star will be sailing fresh out of drydock on December 19, 2014.

 

The Grand Princess is going into drydock around December 10 and is returning to service for a Hawaii run on December 20 this year. It also shows as drydock for their December 20, 2013 sailing.

Which is about 2 miles south of terminal 35 so any hotels that were convenient before will not necessarily be so for the new cruises late December 2014.

No way is it 2 miles, maybe 200 yards at most. There is Pier 33,31 & 29 between 35 and 27.

We have reservations at Best Western Tuscan at Fisherman's Wharf for our October 26th cruise to Hawaii. We chose this hotel because of close proximity to the pier and the wharf, and onsite restaurant. It also came highly recommended by several of the members here who have stayed there.

 

Have a great cruise!!!

I like it there. That's my home base when I take the train in the day before a cruise.

You are correct. Pier 39 has all the restaurants, shops, and hungry seals.
