One of the reasons we're so excited about Princess Cruise lines opening up additional itineraries from San Francisco for us, it's the only port that makes sense doing a 'quickie' type cruise from. Otherwise we have to fly/drive to San Diego or Long Beach...and it's just not worth it for even a seven day cruise. We've taken Celebrity out of S.F...but they seem to be cruising mainly out of Seattle now. Boooooo...Hisssssss.....
