fabby50 Posted August 31, 2021 #26 Share Posted August 31, 2021 We are on one of the coastals next year - they changed our port of Monterey to Santa Barbara, not sure where we'll actually go 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted August 31, 2021 #27 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Such a wonderful port but, we usually don’t get off the ship anymore while in Santa Barbara due to the long tender lines to get back on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgrafel Posted September 3, 2021 #28 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Well that makes me cranky. With so many other cruises cancelled we picked this one to get in a visit with an older aunt. Was going to be a really enjoyable day visiting with her, then getting back on the ship. Guess we will wave to her and call her as we sail past.

norcalcruzr Posted September 4, 2021 Author #37 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Have not had any notification yet from Princess on this change, we're on the Oct. 31 CA coastal cruise. Just checked my booking again, itinerary still shows Santa Barbara, with shore excursion options listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jwattle Posted September 4, 2021 #40 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Looks like the 7 day Cali Coastal cruises are getting an overnight in San Francisco. Excellent! Mayhaps a nice dinner and evening at the theatre or an afternoon on the Hop On/Hop Off Bus and cable cars then dinner, say Crab Cioppino at Fisherman's Grotto #9, topped off with a stroll down Fisherman's Wharf. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFej Posted September 4, 2021 #41 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I was hoping that one of the overnights in San Francisco would coincide with a Dodgers at Giants game, but I struck out, so to speak. There is a cruise out of SF in the middle of a series, but flying up there, catching a Friday night game, stying in a hotel, then taking a cruise, and flying home isn't quite what I had in mind. Maybe another year... or another cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only overnight in San Francisco being reported is on the Majestic Princess. Since I’m on the October 31st cruise on the Ruby Princess from San Francisco I would be surprised, if at the start of our cruise, it was an overnight in San Francisco. Anything arriving at pier 27 would have to be arranged in advance with the port as other cruise ships my stop there & it is used for other events. I’ve contacted the port to get a copy of the cruise ship scheduled at pier 27 for the remainder of 2021 & I’ll post whatever information I have. FYI….We have an old cruise terminal, pier 35, next to pier 39, that can hold 2 cruise ships, which could possibly be used if pier 27 was not available.

We were on B2B cruises a couple of weeks back that started out as Barcelona to Rome and Rome to Venice...They morphed into Athens to Athens via Santorini, Rhodes and Israel followed by Athens to Athens via Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes and Cyprus...Then, with just a couple of weeks to go, they canceled the Israeli ports due to a Covid outbreak and it became that second Itinerary twice...and, finally less than a week to sailing and Cyprus got dropped and replaced with Dubrovnik... We just kept calling it "the Mystery Cruise"...and, by the time it went, we actually didn't really care where they stopped...We just wanted to cruise ANYWHERE. After a year and a half of no cruises, just being on the ship, eating, drinking, being entertained...having people pick up after us and getting to actually meet and talk to other human beings became far more important than the details of the itinerary--which, of course, now looked nothing like what we originally signed up for... And, you know what? IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! I know what you mean. We rarely get off the ship anymore anyway since we were just doing the same cruise up and down the coast. The point of cruising for us more is exactly what you described. And I’m dying to cruise again!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
