- 🚗 SF parking reality: $50–$80/day near the Embarcadero — among the most expensive cruise port parking in North America
- 💡 Smarter option: Park at an East Bay hotel near BART (Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley) — dramatically cheaper, BART to Embarcadero is ~25 min
- 🏨 Set on staying in SF? Union Square or Fisherman's Wharf hotels sometimes have negotiated parking arrangements — confirm before booking
- 🦀 Night before: Ferry Building Marketplace for dinner, North Beach for Italian and wine, evening walk along the Embarcadero with bridge views
- 🚋 Getting around: BART from East Bay; F-Market streetcar along the Embarcadero; rideshare throughout the Bay Area
