    Norwegian Bliss arrives at pier 66 this Saturday to start the 2024 cruise season.

      We’ll be writing about cruise season in the next day or two.

      Hopefully utilizing shore power and not stinking out the waterfront.

      • WSB April 3, 2024 (11:34 am)

        The port’s website says shore power is expected to be ready at Pier 66 “during” this season – I’m checking to see if that means it’s ready now or will debut at some point later.

    The low bridge has been stuck for a long time now with no boat anywhere in sight.

    • WSB April 3, 2024 (11:30 am)

      The @sdotbridges auto-tweets show it reopened to surface traffic a couple minutes after your comment.

Sorry, comment time is over.
