SPLover Posted January 24, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I am sailing on Dawn Princess out of San Francisco Feb. 27. Has anyone parked their car while sailing out of San Francisco and if so, is it safe or did you have any problems with vandalism? Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted January 24, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We've parked 4 times at 55 Francisco. It is a covered garage, and generally you park and leave your car so no one else has the key. We've never had any vandalism, but tend to park the car back about a foot from the fencing in the front, just in case. It is $12 a day (I think), and is a lockable garage. From there we wheel our suitcases less than 2 blocks to the pier and the porters. Much easier than trying to get through the crowd at the pier with a car to unload. Perhaps there isn't a problem if you come late, but we tend to get to the pier before noon, and there are still people hanging around who have just disembarked.

morriscats Posted January 24, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We used this parking garage and had no complaints. It is across the street from the pier. http://www.cruise.com/cruise_info/port_parking/san_francisco.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLover Posted January 24, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Thanks for your help! I was having a hard time finding a town car service that was a decent price. I think the less hassle way would be just to park there. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy We did the same thing.... except we dropped our bags and passengers at the dock, then parked the vehicle. Saved on the suitcase drag....... The price is hard to be too.

Nancyquilts Posted January 24, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I forgot - last time we were there, there seems to be another garage directly across from this one that does the same thing, so you should be able to park. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscruisequeen Posted January 24, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I am sailing on Dawn Princess out of San Francisco Feb. 27. Has anyone parked their car while sailing out of San Francisco and if so, is it safe or did you have any problems with vandalism? Thanks! :) We have parked at 55 Francisco many times, with no problems. It is very safe for you and you car. Their phone # is 415-398-0208. They take cash payment when you arrive. We drop off our luggage, my DH deals with the porters and I park the car and walk back...5 minute walk. Did you know that you can "self disembark" from Princess ships now? If you can cart your luggage yourself, you can self disembark and you will be first off the ship. This is very convenient in San Francisco, as its just a 5 minute walk to parking and you are on your way!! Love it, we have done it several times.
