This is my second DM Cruise. This time with my daughter who will be turning 21 a week before the cruise. Looking forward to a cruise up the West Coast. Any hotel suggestions in San Diego? It's been years since I've been there.
There are so many to choose from and every chain has at least one for each of their brands and price points. You might want to start with -
How are you arriving - plane, car, train?
Are you leaving a car there to fly back to San Diego from Vancouver? Some hotels closer to the port offer reduced long term parking for cruisers if you stay a night or two before the cruise
How many days in advance are you arriving before the cruise?
What do you want to see and do in San Diego before the cruise? There is so much - zoo, Sea World, museums, Balboa Park, missions, the beach, Coronado, USS Midway, Old Town/Gas Lamp area, etc.
I think I’d start with when are you arriving and what do you want to do there before the cruise, then look for hotels in proximity. Though, nothing is really too far away.
If you want a hotel close to where the Wonder will dock, there are two - a Marriott Springhill Suites directly across and a Wyndham down a block, both are on Harbor Blvd.
For those leaving a car and not staying the night before, check out the Port of San Diego long term parking page.
