walk down to the Ferry building. walk across the street. underground will be the muni entrances. go down into embarcadero stop. catch the N Judah car outbound. get off at 9th and Irving. walk north one block..into park. walk three more blocks into park and you will be at area of japanese tea garden, academy of sciences and de Young museum.

 

Careful Embarcardero Station has two levels: you want MUNI and not BART.

 

MUNI is $2 pp good for two hours, any direction.

That's the Ports of Call area. Lots of restaurants, shops, etc. Just tell a taxi driver that's where you want to go.

 

Actually I think Shoreline Village is on the Aquarium side in Long Beach. Ports of Call is quite a distance away in San Pedro.

Thanks for the info so far

 

Has anyone done the Princess excursion to visit TCL and Olvera and a drive through Rodeo drive?

 

Is it VFM and are there any private alternatives that may offer more including stop on Rodeo drive?

 

Thanks

Wow! What a selling feature for those of us who have never been there before. Excuriosns are still offered at this port, so I'm hoping it can't be that bad.

 

I'm another one who thinks the 2 winery tour is good.

We have been to Ensenada many times, and still enjoyed the tour.

The Blowhole tour isn't bad, but there will be a ton of vendors trying to get you to buy.

 

Even though we don't really take any more tours there, we still get off the ship and look through the shops at the pier.

You can get a bus from the pier into town if you can't walk far-we can't.

Stay on the main streets, don't drink any unbottled water, and enjoy a snack or a drink there.

DH and I are on the April 6 cruise out of San Francisco too. We love whale watching and booked a private tour in Santa Barbara with Double Dolphin for $33.00 pp. The ships tour is 3 times that amount. ;)

Does anyone know if you can walk to San Francisco Hard Rock Cafe from the cruise ship pier?
