Deloresgardella Posted April 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I did a park and fly at the best western at SFO when we went on an Caribbean cruise several years ago. We did one night pre-cruise and one night post-cruise. At that time it was free and they picked us up at the airport after the flight. But it may have chinged since then.

cruisinsuzan Posted April 25, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted April 25, 2005 This is for an Alaska cruise out of San Francisco. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deloresgardella Posted April 25, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2005 No we had to fly to Miami. But if you parked your car there you would have to take an shuttle or taxi to the port and back or take the car to the port and park there they have parking for people going on cruise ship is a short distance from the pier. Your best bet may be to get a hotel closer to Fishman's Wharf and park in the long term parking at the pier. I am not sure of the price but it is around $7 to 12.00 a day.

cruisinsuzan Posted April 25, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted April 25, 2005 If you find out where they have $7.00 parking in SFO, please forward that info as that is not what I am finding! Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deloresgardella Posted April 25, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Oops, sorry I just check the web site and it is $14 a day. They have really raised since I checked last. Here is a web site that may give you some information. I guess I wasn't thinking will be going on my Panama Canal cruise tomorrow and that is on my mind. http://www.*****.com/SanFrancisco/portinfo.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cali-croozer Posted April 25, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Are you driving up from So. Cal? If so, then I'm wondering why you would want to stay near SFO----the airport is not close to the port; unless you are thinking there might be better deals there???? You would still have to deal with getting into San Francisco from the hotel, however. Maybe I'm just not reading this right.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinsuzan Posted April 25, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted April 25, 2005 in town or near the pier but Deloresgardella answered it as I was flying out of SFO. If you have any suggestions for in town in San Francisco with discounted or included parking I am still looking! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali-croozer Posted April 25, 2005 #10 Share Posted April 25, 2005 ok-----gotcha!:) Well, I'm from the area and if I find anything, I'll let you know (keep checking this board). I'll check my AAA books. The "official" port of San Francisco website is useless.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinsuzan Posted April 25, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted April 25, 2005 You are correct on the SFO Port website, it is one of the least informative of all the US cruise port city sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali-croozer Posted April 26, 2005 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Well I found a couple of "deals" for you to check out and decide if they are worth it. www.chancellorhotel.com/packages lists a cruise special for $145 with "extended parking available", so by the time you pay for taxes and the parking, it's probably going to be quite expensive. I think it includes the first nights parking and breakfast, but doesn't say anything about transportation to the cruise terminal. It is right in San Francisco though, but I don't know anything about this hotel. www.parksleepfly.com lists a park/sleep/cruise special at the La Quinta Inn by the SF airport (SFO) for $115, including one night lodging, up to 14 days of parking, and transfer to the port! I think there was breakfast too??? They are listed as 8 miles away from the cruise port and it looks like you can arrange for transfer back there after the cruise for an additional fee. If you are interested in this, I would call the La Quinta directly (check their website) and ask about those extra charges. If you are just looking for a place to rest pre and post cruise, this might be your best deal. If you want to stay in SF to sightsee, you might be better off with a hotel that doesn't offer a "deal" and just park at the cruise terminal. In any case, tripadvisor.com is a great site for hotel reviews; I used it to narrow down my choices for my upcoming cruise out of New Orleans. Hope this helps to get you started..........have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinsuzan Posted April 26, 2005 Author #13 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I also check Trip Advisor and saw the La Quinta. Any boutique hotels that I should give a look at and just use the parking near the pier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
