San Diego’s B Street Cruise Ship Terminal

If your cruise leaves from San Diego, you’ll likely be using the B Street Pier and Cruise Ship Terminal.  On the Disney Cruise Line, this includes the Mexican Riviera cruises.  California Coast cruises and the Panama Canal cruises will either begin or end in San Diego.  If you’ve cruised out of other ports, San Diego’s B Street Cruise Ship Terminal may surprise you.

Location

The terminal is very conveniently located in downtown near the USS Midway.  It’s only about 10 minutes from the airport and walking distance from several hotels. However, I can’t recommend shlepping your luggage all that way.

First Impressions

When the hotel’s shuttle dropped us off at the B Street Cruise Ship Terminal, my first thought was, “Really? Here?”  It was a big warehouse with some temporary-looking drop off areas.  It looked more like a place for unloading cargo containers of bananas than a place to start your vacation.  On the other hand, there was the huge, beautiful Disney Wonder docked on the other side of that warehouse, so I figured we must be in the right place.

The shuttle was able to drop us off just steps away from the entrance to the terminal, and there were plenty of folks handy to take our luggage.  We were in the terminal in minutes.

Inside

We went inside, and it still looked like a big warehouse.  Disney, of course, had everything organized with signage and plenty of Crew Members around to answer any questions.

After security and checking in, we waited in folding chairs for our boarding group to be called.  This took roughly 30 years because we were so excited to board and absolutely nothing was interesting enough to distract us from our impatience to board.  We could have gone and posed for pictures with Mickey, but there was a line for that. We knew we could see him on board if wanted to as well. 

Aside from our lack of patience, the biggest issue at this point was the noise.  It was very loud and difficult to understand the boarding group announcements.  To help with this, there were crew members holding up the boarding group numbers, but they were just relying on listening to the announcements too, and they sometimes got off.

Eventually, our number was called, we did hear it, and we lined up.  After that, the process was basically the same as it was in the the Vancouver Terminal on our previous trips.  We showed our Key to the World cards, got our pictures taken, and walked through the glassed-in overpass to the ship.

On board, we had spectacular views of San Diego from the upper decks of the ship.  It’s a beautiful city, and we saw the USS Midway, working barges, the Coast Guard, and multi-million dollar yachts.  It’s definitely worth being on deck when you sail out of port from San Diego.

Disembarkation

When we returned from the cruise, we did Express Walk-Off from the ship which means we left before the people who got assistance with their luggage.   The only inconvenient part was that we either had to take our rolling luggage down a flight of stairs or wait for an elevator.  We took the elevator, and there was only a short wait.  If we hadn’t done Express Walk-Off, I imagine there would have been a longer wait for the elevators.

Customs was efficient and took basically no time at all.  Outside, the transportation area was only steps away.  The going rate for taxis was $20 to the airport.  Shuttle vans charged in the neighborhood of $8 per person.  There was no wait for either of them, though I imagine this was partly because we were some of the first people off the ship.

The Verdict

Overall, San Diego’s B Street Cruise Ship Terminal was not fancy, but it was functional and easy to navigate. It was a small area, and I don’t think they ever serve more than a single cruise ship at a time which makes the whole process a little more streamlined.
