Embassy Suites Bay FAQ
Does Embassy Suites Bay have a cruise shuttle?
Not that it publishes. Hilton lists no cruise shuttle of the hotel's own. Park, Stay & Go mentions a shuttle to "select airports and cruise ports" without naming San Diego's, so it isn't scored.
Does Embassy Suites Bay have an airport shuttle?
Not that it publishes. Hilton lists the airport shuttle as not available. It puts San Diego International 3 miles away.
Can I park at Embassy Suites Bay while I cruise?
Yes, but the price isn't published. Hilton's offers page lists Park, Stay & Go ("parking plus shuttle service to and from select airports and cruise ports"): one night and parking for up to 7, a shuttle that only "some hotels" run to a cruise port, and no published price. Guest parking is valet only, $70 a day.
How far is Embassy Suites Bay from the cruise terminal?
Hilton gives no distance to the cruise terminal. It lists San Diego Bay and Seaport Village at 0 miles and the USS Midway at 0.4; the terminal is north along the Embarcadero. It sits in our downtown band. Royal Caribbean, Holland America and Norwegian name the B Street Pier, and Disney gives the same address, 1140 North Harbor Drive. The port's second terminal, the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier, is at 1000 North Harbor Drive; your cruise documents name yours.
Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?
Check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out 11:00 AM. The hotel doesn't publish early or late terms, so ask when you book, not on the day.
Will the hotel hold my bags?
The hotel doesn't say. Most hotels will hold bags between check-out and a late shuttle, but that's a call to make, not an assumption.
Does the port shuttle come back for me after the cruise?
There's no hotel shuttle to the port. From the pier it's a taxi, a rideshare from Harbor Drive outside the terminal gate, or the 992 bus from Santa Fe Depot. No line publishes a San Diego transfer price.
What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?
Free made-to-order breakfast. Your terminal check-in window is in your cruise documents, and the port asks you not to arrive before it.
Can I park an oversized vehicle or charge an EV?
Valet only, $70 a day ($90 oversized), covered, in and out.
