Creator's Key Takeaways

It was such a beautiful, emotional morning being out on the deck as we sail closer to the Golden Gate Bridge.

If you're ever on a cruise and lucky enough to be sailing to San Francisco, please make the effort to get off early and watch this.

Lunch was lovely. If you ever get a chance to go there, I totally recommend the clam chowder.

It was really fun and the guide was funny and interactive all the way.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get off early to watch the ship sail under the Golden Gate Bridge.
Check if you can get on an earlier Alcatraz tour if your allotted time is busy.
Take warm clothes for the Alcatraz boat trip as it can be windy.
Consider walking up to the tram stop instead of queuing for a long time.

San Francisco completely delivered today. From riding the city’s famous trams to exploring Pier 39, seeing Alcatraz up close, and then getting back to the port in a driverless taxi — this turned into one of our most unexpected and brilliant days of the trip. In this vlog, we explore some of San Francisco’s most iconic sights, including Pier 39, views across to Alcatraz Island, and a ride on the legendary San Francisco trams. To finish the day, we jump into a fully autonomous taxi and head back to the cruise port — something we never expected to do on this trip. This visit to San Francisco was part of our cruise itinerary, and it turned out to be the perfect mix of classic sightseeing and modern tech.
