Cruise Ships in San Francisco on Fri, Oct 8, 2027
The schedule shows Star Princess in San Francisco, a comparatively busy day for the port. In a typical October, highs are near 70°F and lows near 54°F. One thing to see: Alcatraz Island. Ferry from Pier 33 to the island and its cellhouse audio tour. Berthing here: pier 80, a few miles south, is occasionally used when the main berths are full.

An estimate for planning, not a headcount. It uses each ship's lower-berth capacity. Real occupancy often runs higher, crew go ashore too, not everyone gets off, and schedules change or ships skip ports for weather. Check with your cruise line or Heather Hills from Flow Voyages.
