CruiserBruce Posted June 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Take a look on the West Coast Departures board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=413 where San Diego is covered extensively, for lots of info on hotels and parking.

Loreto Posted June 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2017 We need a hotel for 1 night that provides a shuttle to the port and parking for a 7 night cruise. Any suggestions? We used the Best Western Yacht Harbor in an Diego for a 31 day cruise in 2014. You must call the hotel direct to arrange this. 14 days of parking was included in the package, and then additional days were $7, I believe . The hotel has a covered garage. The staff was very helpful. We used them again for a 7 day Mexican Riviera cruise on the Westerdam last November. I would use them again as cruise parking in San Diego can be a challenge. The lot we used to use across from the cruise pier was converted to a park. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhead Fred Posted June 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2017 We need a hotel for 1 night that provides a shuttle to the port and parking for a 7 night cruise. Any suggestions? Check the Hilton on Harbor Island Drive. We booked their "Snooze and Cruise" package for a Dec '17 cruise (and the price was not too crazy). We are flying in so I cannot comment about the 7 day parking. I am sure their web site would have info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidergirl Posted June 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Are you driving in from Carefree? (I miss Harrolds!!!) You could also park in the long-term lot at the airport and do a shuttle from there to one of the dock-side hotels. Then, you could have a relaxing morning and just walk across the street (literally) to the ship. You could choose from the Residence Inn, the Springhill Suites, the Wyndham Bayside, and more.

igraf Posted June 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) You don't really need a dedicated hotel shuttle as many hotels are within one mile of the San Diego cruise port. Any taxi/Lyft/Uber car will do. Likewise, you could use one of several parking facilities in the area. A few nice hotel suggestions: Fancy : Manchester Grand Hyatt Historical: The US Grant Super-close to cruise port and less expensive: Wyndam San Diego Bayside Having said that, if you want a complete sleep and park package then here is some information: http://www.cruzely.com/san-diego-hotels-with-cruise-parking/ igraf We need a hotel for 1 night that provides a shuttle to the port and parking for a 7 night cruise.

Spent time every month and all holidays down there. The ex lives there now. LT is so far north, Carefree was the place to go for anything. AJs, Harold's, the good breakfast places, it goes on.

I am sure their web site would have info. We live south of Tucson and when we cruise out of SD we always drive. We also always stay at the San Diego Hilton Airport/Harbor Island. It's a great hotel right on the harbor. Last cruise we paid $10/per night to leave our vehicle. They shuttle you to the port, but do not pick up at the end of the cruise. We took a cab back to the hotel. Sent from my SM-G920V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igraf Posted June 16, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Not to be confused with the Hilton San Diego Bayside which is located on the south side of downtown near the ballpark.

The now-ex would still go out and play golf... Definitely no waits at restaurants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted June 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 18, 2017 You can find parking at the airport off-site lots for less than $11/day. I often park at San Diego Airport Parking: http://www.sdap.net/8801.html Often there are discounted/coupon deals available (Google "san diego discount airport parking"). They will shuttle you to the port. Some hotels downtown (Embarcadero/Marina/Gaslamp) offer parking packages, but the parking is not free. If you want to find someplace with free parking, you would do better to look at a hotel in Mission Valley/Hotel Circle. Most will not provide a cruise ship shuttle, but it is not an expensive Uber or even cab drive from those hotels to the pier, and the savings on paying for parking should more than offset that cost.

KroozNut Posted June 18, 2017 #19 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Not yet. Probably the Wyndam since it's across the street. Depending on when your cruise is, recommend reserving your parking early (Wyndham specifically), as it sells out fast on cruise days. We live in San Diego, were initially planning to drive to the port and park at Wyndham for $11/day for our cruise end of September. When I went online about 3 weeks ago to reserve my parking they were already sold out. Apparently they limit how many spaces they sell for cruise parking.

You'll be missing a beautiful view if you don't select the Hilton San Diego Harbor/Airport! Get up early enough and you will see the ship sail in!

igraf Posted June 18, 2017 #21 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It is usually less expensive to take a Uber or Lyft car from a San Diego location to the cruise port as opposed to paying for a week or more of parking. I personally use Lyft. As a bonus, my car remains safe at home in my garage. Much better than a tight, door-dinging parking slot in a commercial parking lot. igraf ...We live in San Diego, were initially planning to drive to the port and park at Wyndham for $11/day for our cruise end of September.
