Kamloops50 Posted March 30, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2015 We are flying into San Jose to visit family before our cruise. Any ideas on the best way to get from SJ to San Fran? I know its random but thought i would ask here and cross fingers The fastest would be rent a car and drive . Other options are the commuter train, Public bus or shuttle if available. Check to see if there is a shuttle to San Fran Airport and then take the shared shuttle to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YubaSutter Posted March 30, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Cal train goes from San jose to San Francisco. Oh, and it's not called San Fran, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted March 30, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Are you looking for a way to reach the cruise terminal in SF or for sightseeing purposes while you're staying in SJ ? Actually, since your relatives live in SJ wouldn't they be a good resource for this question ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 30, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2015 "Best" way? In a limo sipping champagne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlxo Posted March 31, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I prefer a squad car escort with sirens blazing an open path for me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted April 1, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Driving in some fasion would be the best option, either private shuttle or rent a car 1 way, looks to be about an hours drive depending on traffic and exact address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpcv77 Posted April 5, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I live in San Jose and have lived in San Francisco as well (not San Fran or Frisco, please :) Much depends on where exactly you'll be going to in the City (yup, that's what we say!) and what part of SJ you'll be coming from. Can you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfinster007 Posted April 5, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 5, 2015 We are flying into San Jose to visit family before our cruise. Any ideas on the best way to get from SJ to San Fran? I know its random but thought i would ask here and cross fingers Would your family consider driving you? One more hour of visiting and after they drop you off at the pier they can stay for lunch. Another option would be to just order a car service. Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfinster007 Posted April 5, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I forgot to add, while in California do what California's do best. Drive everywhere, I'm just as guilty as the other guy. Just yesterday I left my home in Napa drove to SJ for lunch with friends then to SF for the Giants game. Back to Napa this morning then back to the east bay tomorrow for Easter brunch with family. Good luck Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you be more specific? Hello RPV - Thank you so much for your help here. We will be coming from Sunnyvale (El Camino and Old San Francisco Way) and going to Pier 2 in San Francisco for our cruise. I cant even find a shuttle service that will do this trek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 6, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cruise ships don't operate out of Pier 2. You might want to check that- Pier 27 or 35 would be the correct numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinAnn Posted April 6, 2015 #15 Share Posted April 6, 2015 You could probably do a Supershuttle from the San Jose airport to the pier. Or as someone else mentioned, CalTrain to SFO then Supershuttle to the Pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruisejunkie Posted April 6, 2015 #16 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hello RPV - Thank you so much for your help here. We will be coming from Sunnyvale (El Camino and Old San Francisco Way) and going to Pier 2 in San Francisco for our cruise. I cant even find a shuttle service that will do this trek. I used a private transfer last year to go from Morgan Hill to Pier 35 for a cruise. There were four of us, plus luggage, and we needed an SUV. We paid $200 plus 20% gratuity ($40). We will be using the same service going from SFO to Morgan Hill. For a sedan (probably Town Car) we will be paying $105 plus 20% gratuity ($21). The contact is adolfoslimo.com, if you're interested.
