We, a group of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids (13, 8, 6 & 5)) are sailing on Princess RT from San Francisco in mid-February.
We stop at San Diego (on a Monday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM). Seems like a long enough day to take in a lot of the city.
The San Diego Zoo is world renown. This is must stop for everyone in our group.
The Princess excursion is $130 for a bus ride to the zoo, 5 hours there and a bus ride back. Looking at the SD Zoo website, we can get a 1-day pass for $69.
- Are there taxis readily available at the cruise-port?
- How long does it take to get to the zoo from the cruise-port?
- There seem to be plenty of transportation options (sky-fari, kangaroo bus, etc. inside the zoo in case the young ones get tired).
- Does the excursion seem rather steep for what you get?
Some of our group would also like to see the USS Midway or the Gaslight area. Are those worth the trip over there?
Thanks for any suggestions, comments, or other recommendations.
