Buckeye_Siggy Posted May 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Anyone sail of of San Francisco on Carnival recently? I am trying to plan flights and want to have a general idea as to when cruisers start to disembark the ship. Some ports like Baltimore dont even start getting people off the ship until after 10:30pm. I was wondering how early the San Fran port starts allowing people off. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philob Posted May 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Best to look for a flight after 12. It's about a 45 minute drive to the airport. Edited May 23, 2023 by Philob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2023 They don't let people off in Baltimore until 10:30pm? That makes for some serious flight issues. The ship wants everyone off by 9:30, to allow the ship to get ready for the next cruise. While there can always be a possible hitch in the process, you should plan on being able to be off before 8am with little problem, if you are able to carry your bags off and catch a cab. Thus a noon flight is safe...if you are feeling confident, maybe 11:30, particularly if you have TSA Pre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye_Siggy Posted May 25, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted May 25, 2023 oops - 10:30AM Nice catch. thanks to both of you for the answers. i feel pretty good about not having issues for the family taking the 1pm flight out of SFO after we get off the ship.

That assumes the ship docks on time. Two of our five cruises out of SF have been delayed in docking on return because of fog. What time of year is this cruise?

Buckeye_Siggy Posted May 25, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted May 25, 2023 ouch. as an east coaster, i didnt even consider fog or weather a possible issue. The California tourism board makes it seem like there is nothing but sunshine year round out on the left coast. Cruise to Alaska leaves end of next month and comes back to SF on July 6th.

Yeah neither did I. I normally book much later flights in the day, but my return flight this time is like 12:30 PM. I guess I'll cross that bridge if and when I come to it. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time we had to sit outside the bay was September and we still docked by 1030 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was your 10-day? Are you writing a full review? I'm going on this same itinerary next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not terribly concerned, but It was just something I never really thought about when booking my flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
