Discovery Princess
Does discovery Princess dock in Monterey or San Francisco in March. TIA
Good question. Based on available itineraries, the Discovery Princess does dock in San Francisco (NOT Monterey) on its March California coastal sailings. Here’s what the information shows, plus what to watch for.
What the Itineraries Say
- For the 7-Night Classic California Coast cruise departing March 29, 2025, the Discovery Princess stops in San Francisco.
- Specifically, it arrives in San Francisco around 08:00 AM and departs in the evening (10:00 PM) on that sailing.
- There is no Monterey port call listed for that March 29, 2025 itinerary.
- On some Princess-Cruises discussion boards, travelers note that Monterey was removed from the itinerary in favor of extended time in San Francisco.
Why Monterey Is Likely Undocked for That Cruise
- According to cruise-critic and other traveler reports, the Discovery Princess’s California Coast cruises no longer include Monterey; instead, they offer two nights in San Francisco.
- One likely reason is that Princess Cruises updated its itinerary; Monterey calls have been dropped in certain sailings.
Bottom Line: If you are looking at a March cruise on the Discovery Princess, you should *expect a stop in San Francisco, not Monterey*. Always double-check the specific sailing date’s itinerary when booking, because cruise itineraries can change.
