Emerald princess in san francisco

[MTJSR]

I took a drive into the city today and saw that the Emerald Princess was entering the bay. The Grand Princess and Holland America Volendam were already berthed. Here are some pics!.

Beautiful photos!

That poor woman in the parka cracked me up. As they say Mark Twain said [he didn't]: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."

Thanks for the great pictures! I noticed on the Marine Traffic app that the Volendam was next to the Grand and the Emerald was entering the bay.

Thanks for these gorgeous photos ! Did you take them from Crissy Field and East Beach on Mason St.?

 

 

Was there a tugboat escort ? I didn't see a tug, so maybe they brought a pilot on board before they sailed underneath the bridge.

 

 

 

Thanks again, from EBC :D

You are welcome, it was a gorgeous day out. I took these photos from Pier 39 and yes there was a tug on the Portside aft and bow that joined it once it passed us.

Actually the Volendan was at pier 35 north and the Emerald was going to pier 35 south. The Grand was at pier 27 doing a turn around.

Lol I noticed her and others getting blown around. Fortunately it was a very nice day today but rain is possible for the next two days.

I love photos of Princess ships !!!

 

I have some photos of ships that I stored on Shutterfly. But, I don't know how to post them on Cruise Critic. Could you give me some simple directions to post my photos on Cruise Critic??

 

Everyone posts lovely photos, and I can't figure it out. Would greatly appreciate some help. ;p. Sorry to threadjack. But your photos are really cool. -- EBC

Yeah, we've done the 10-day Alaska cruise a few times. In general, sailaway from San Francisco is waaay colder than Alaska. :p

Much prefer being on the ship taking photos compared to taking photos of the ship;)

I use photobucket, but I assume shutterfly will be the same. On the right you will see different formats you can share. I copy and paste the "IMG string in the body of my post" See pic below. Cruise Critic requires the "IMG"

Hope this helps!

And I will be on-board that sailing as well. Love cruising but dislike the waiting part:(

We were in SF for dinner last night (10/1) and she was still there. Rather surprising, actually.

The Emerald was doing an overnight in San Francisco while on a Pacific Coastal cruise. A little rare like you are suggesting. The Explorer of the Seas berthed at Pier 27 and the Volendan at Pier 35 North was also doing overnights.

I wish I was on the October 19th cruise, I'm actually on the December 19th Hawaiian cruise. Have a great time and I would love to hear your thoughts when you get back. Mark

That makes sense, except that if it docked on the 30th, we saw it as late as 7:30 pm on the 1st. Usually, ships on an overnight leave around 4-5 pm on the second day.

 

I did see the Explorer, but not the Volendam.

Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing them!

The Emerald was scheduled to depart at 11pm according to the San Francisco cruise schedule. See link below!

I just uploaded a video on YouTube of the Emerald sailing into San Francisco along with a Navy assault ship. Here is the link!
