[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sbalax: George-- Isn't Pier 39 the one with all the restaurants? I think Pier 35 has always been the one used by cruise ships in San Francisco. It's pretty primitive as far as facilities go. I believe there is a plan to build a true, dedicated cruise terminal.[/QUOTE]Pier 39 was what they told us before we went to meet then. I thought "where" when they told us, as you are absolutely right. Pier 39 is entirely restaurants adn other tourist traps. [QUOTE]I'm surprised that the cruise line didn't do a better job of coordinating the immigration process. When we arrived in San Diego every passenger and crew member (even those staying on for the next segment) had to go through immigration. HAL did a great job of scheduling departures so there was never (at least while we were there) much of a backup.[/QUOTE]We got the story that it was a problem with customs and immigration and the cruise line could do nothing about it. Whether that is true or not, I could not say, but having worked foreign for quite a few years, I could believe it. Invariably entering the US was the most trying of all entries. [QUOTE]The "F" line trolleys are wonderful to ride but do get crowed very quickly. One trick we learned was to walk to the previous stop to board instead of fighting the crowd at Pier 35. Frank in sunny and cooler SBA.[/QUOTE]Did not look that bad, but that could also have been a result of the rate that the people came off. We walked over to Pier 39 first off, anyway. [/QB][/QUOTE]
