CROWD-TACTICALA busy cruise day strains the Embarcadero: with no on-site pier parking, nearby private lots and rideshare lanes jam up. The clean play is a hotel park-and-cruise package or a reserved private lot, plus a drop-off beyond the gate on the pier. Don't plan the Midway or Gaslamp for midday — take your waterfront stroll early, then clear the area for check-in.

2 ships are scheduled today, representing approximately 4,240 passengers of combined capacity.
