OUR CRUISE SHIP STOPPED IN SAN FRANCISCO

good morning and welcome to San Francisco California that's right today's Port stop on our Holland America band Dam cruise down the Pacific coast takes us to San Francisco you've got the Golden Gate Bridge out there I know you've heard of that before you've got the island of Alcatraz but today's stop is going to put us right around here Fisherman's Warf we're going to hit the main streets of San Francisco check out the area try some food see the sites and enjoy with this popular us W city has to [Music] offer well just like that we are off of the ship into this lovely beautiful Cruise terminal okay I don't know if I'd call it lovely or beautiful it's a big empty building but hey you know what it's going to get us out to the street and uh we're going to get ready to go are we ready Sharon we are ready and one cool thing well not really cool but interesting fact is um they're actually putting more people more people are getting on the ship today in San Francisco so as we were getting off there were people standing on the other side with their luggage and they were actually embarking on the ship today well there we go this is our first look at San Francisco we just exited the terminal area we're right on on the street you're basically on the waterfront right here there's a whole row of peers here so if your ship's coming in you're not going to be too far away from uh the Waterfront area and Fisherman's Warf so that's where we're going to head right now right next toward us is a Jeremiah O'Brien and of course you can see our beautiful Bowland Dam right behind her all well we came across our first restaurant okay maybe it's not a restaurant but we could stop here eat looks like we can get something to drink here and uh wrap it up and go right back to the chip Sharon what do you say can we stop here for a churro and just shut her down for the day uh I don't know I'm surprisingly enough even though I love sweets I'm not a fan of churros like oh my God you heard it here first Sharon not a fan of the churros well they do have pretzels looks like and uh corn dogs and some good stuff like that but I think we're going to go a little bit further see what else we can find so probably about 6 to 8 minute walk from uh from the terminal boom we're right here at Pier 39 lots of activity here this is kind of where the fisherman dwarf begins uh as far as your your shops your restaurants and it goes all the way down there so we're going to check out the pier uh maybe walk around a little bit more so let's see what we find here first time here let's check this place [Music] out oh okay I see this is going to give you a little bird's eye view of what's going on here Eagle Cafe Fog Harbor Fish House right there looks like a hot spot of course down here is a Wipeout Bar and Grill that place is pretty full that might be a hot spot for us to check out and of course at the end of the pier Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs boy remember that growing up in New Jersey well that didn't take long did it folks Sharon found the San Francisco souvenir shop and uh she's in full shopping mode already it begins with just a glance okay then once she find something that she's interested in then is going to get closer she'll start to dig into the details she'll check price tag she'll identify uh which grandchild this gift might be perfect for and then she'll go from there while we're waiting for Sharon right next door is the crab house at Pier 39 let's take a look and check out some of these prices if you want to half crab 34 whole crab 59 crab and a half 89 two whole crabs 116 starters soups and salads oh that crispy calamari's got my eye Entre crab top cheeseburger 22 bucks maybe that's not too bad crab top New York steak 53 that sounds good crab fried rice 26 bucks oh my God don't show that to Sharon Crum bruet cheesecake so be beside herself so it's a little idea what you're paying here at P 39 if you're interested in some authentic San fr Francisco Mexican food you've got the taco Cantina right here I don't know they only have like one outside table a lot of other places have a bunch of them so I'm sorry Taco Cantina I don't think we're going to hit you up today I can't wait to see where Sharon decides to have lunch I'm excited I don't know but I just spotted I think a candy store uh something called the caramel honey company so I don't know but my I'm thinking that might be a candy store so we're going to have to check that out so far we just stayed in the upper level here at the uh Pier area we've walked all the way to the back and this is a pretty cool view that we have I'm not sure what the buildings are up there but I'm going to say at least one of those is a church and I might have to figure out what the other two are uh you know post visit so we'll see but awesome view right here of the pier area we still got a little ways to go to the back Sharon spotted what looks like a mergo round back there we got to check that out and still in search to the perfect San Francisco lunch where will it be and we've got bad news folks uh upon further review the caramel honey company is just a honey store not a full board candy store so unless Sharon's craving some honey for the road it we may we it may be a Miss I'm sorry to say and for all of you that were excited to see Sharon get some candy our apologies all right well we came around the corner and we heard all this screaming and I thought boy that's a must be a wild Mero round those kids are on but it turns out there's a crazy ride right here where people are bouncing up and down screaming their brains out listen to it all right well we're going to head down now we're at the back end of the pier we're going to check it out and work our way back to the front shockingly Sharon did not want to go into the Build-A-Bear Workshop no no not Purple Haze more important than that more classic than that I hope you like it get your hands out and hold them up and get ready hope you'll join me if you're happy you know clap your hands if you're happy and you know it clap your hands if you're happy and you know it then your face will show show Happy know CL your hands oh well this guy is unbelievable this level of talent I don't know if I've ever seen it before playing guitar on the unit cycle and juggling I've got to find where the tip jar is for this guy all right guys we may have lost Sharon for good she saw this store the Christmas decoration store and immediately sprinted towards the entrance I'm not sure if I can find her in here but when you walk in here it definitely feels like Christmas [Music] I don't see her I don't see her anywhere oh boy Sharon what are you doing I am looking at all these Christmas ornaments I am in heaven oh my god there are so many they have a Christmas ornament for every occasion in here I love it did you just say Christmas ornament for every occasion for well yes for well like you know I know that sounds weird but but um you know they have them for your dogs for your cats for any special thing that you've done for sports fans sports fans oh they have some Hanukkah um I love that they've got the Hanukkah Christmas decorations it's fabulous I have a feeling Sharon's going to try to put us together with lunch at the fudgery fudge and fun I mean those two things go together pretty well fudge and fun so here's a fudgery and then we got a little f from the glass but this stuff looks amazing amazing all right this the master right here the fudge Master look at those oh my God this is the fudge God perfect perfect perfect way to describe it what are you making right there can you tell us fine oh boy wow I don't know what this Fell's getting paid but if it's not $150 an hour then something's wrong in the world I'll tell you what looks fabulous thank you man have a great day all right I came back into the Orman store to find Sharon and initially I was just going to drag her out of here and say come on let's go but then we found this this little section of ornaments I think I might be able to to hang out here a little bit longer Sharon you may have found just the perfect area of ornaments right here look at this they got the beer ornaments the wine ornaments yeah wow do you know how many black t-shirts I have the tequila ornaments of there I love it so cool okay you can buy any one of these that you want for me for you right I told you Sharon we find our way over to the fudgery now it's $15.99 for a half lb wow things are not cheap here uh San Francisco California or really anywhere I think you can dictate how the econom is going by what the current price of the fudges And1 1599 half lb is a lot well I got my fudge there are so many kinds of choose from but I went with the sea salt um chocolate caramel look at this got some sea salt on top oh my God that's a monster block and it has caramel in the middle they sell it by the half pound and you have to buy like a half pound that's like the minimum you can purchase so it was $15.99 for a half pound but hey I had to do it let me take I hope you like it what's the return policy if you don't like it it's good fudge it is definitely good fudge we made it to the end of the pier and you know what's usually at the end of the pier water but here not only do you have water but you have the Golden Gate Bridge let me see if I can get you a better look there that's right San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge right there now I don't have any of the facts with me but they say that bridge is one of the most popular bridges for suicide I'm not just making that up you can research that and find it online and right over here the one and only alcatra guys that's right you've seen the movie you've heard the stories alaz prison no longer in service but you can tour it we decided to stay on the main land today and as we come around the corner look at that we can see Holland America's volen Dam right there that's literally how close the ship is to this pier area this place looks awesome uh the menu real quick pretzel pretzel with cheese poish dog hot link chili dog corn dog bowl of chili oh my it sounds good price is super reasonable at this spot and right over here you've got um players arcade and Sports Grill uh at the bottom level and then right up top it looks like Bubba Gump Shrimp Company boom right up there too oh my gosh look at that up there the big giant um claw game look at how huge that is oh my gosh there it is the giant claw game I'm sure it's not rigged or anything nothing to worry about and look Sharon do you want to get on this so there's a closer look at the honey store there's a keychain place right here if you're a collector a knife store the Sunglass Hut it's like being in the mall and Enlightenment um I'm not sure what that is looks like clothing and such so guys you can definitely spend as much money as you want here at the pier all right well there were many options to check out but we came across the Pier Market towards the back of the pier and we said this looks like it could be the place for us uh there was literally no weights so that was awesome cuz every place looks packed and we got a great little table with a a nice view outside right here so how cool is that so Sharon's excited about some seafood Sharon uh what are you going to get lobser crab uh I don't know I'll find something but one thing that caught my eye right away and I don't know if I'm going to get it yet or not but a pomegranate Cosmo I don't know I saw pomegranate Cosmo I saw a pomegranate and um that just sounds it sounds good all right guys you got to let me know what you would do put it in the comments below um the Sharon orders the pomeg at Margarita and the guy says small or large well the small is like 16 oz but the large is 23 for only $3 more would you spend the extra $3 to get the large instead of the small that's what we need to know I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not so I went with a small now if I like it then U maybe I'll order another one and I and what hold on and what did I tell you you said get the large you know Jamie's all about just getting the more but I am a little more um money conscious and I'm not GNA spend $3 more for something I don't like but I might like it and then I'll buy another one uh guys it's an outrage my exact words were go ahead and get it if you don't like it I'll drink it our ORD is in place and Sharon uh really shocked me with her order and uh Sharon do you want to tell the folks what you got or you want to wait wait to show them and surprise them um well I ordered fish and chips you know I'm not a big Seafood person as I've probably said many of times but it's more like um shellfish and things that I don't like and it's not an allergy I just don't care for them I think they're slimy and I don't know it's just not my thing but I do love um like filet type fish like I like mahi mahi I love shark I like cod all that I I really love that and when it's breaded it's even better so um I went with the fish and chips it's a breaded a beer batter a breaded cod and some fries so sounds good to me I went with the popcorn scallops cuz I've never had popcorn scallops and I always love to try the calamari wherever we go to see if it's different sometimes it's strips sometimes it's the round pieces hopefully it's the tentacles and there's some friese and some cold salt coming with that and Sharon got her drink I got my drink so coming up next some great slow motion be roll of the food we'll put some music with it so it really makes it tantalizing and then we'll check back and let you know how we liked [Music] [Music] it [Music] the Calamar was amazing the scallops were fantastic and look who even finished her fish and ship Sharon what do you have to say for [Music] yourself um good for me I mean it was the best fish and chips I have ever had it was so good the breading on the Cod was just so delicious it was perfect it had a great flavor it was really crispy the Cod was good inside and it was just cooked perfectly I'm loving it now I just need to finish my pomegranate margarita and I'll be good to go one of the best lunches we've had in a long long time so uh the Pier Market here um a Pier 39 Fisherman's War San fr Francisco you did it right and we can't thank you enough the service the food the drinks everything was hot fire so uh we'll see what happens next maybe a little walking around try to digest this a little bit as we get back to the ship and then we got to get ready for dinner what dinner I'll tell you what if we had any room left at all in our bellies after that lunch we could hit the crepe Cafe but I don't think either of us could put down a crepe right now but let's watch a little bit of the magic of the crepe guy here got some ham and cheese crepes look at that have quesadilla oh boy that's going to be yummy bananas strawberries Nutella mix oh wow can you eat crep right now uh I probably couldn't but they look so good grapes to go well I'm convinced I'm never taking Sharon to San Francisco again I mean she's been in the Shell Cellar for 10 minutes and then as soon as we get out of there she's going to find Trisha's chocolates right here chocolate dipped mini donuts oh lord it's over if that doesn't get her then the gelato place will h Cal Sharon don't look anywhere but that way just go that way oh my gosh look at that is that Barbie she's just noticing what this place is look at her oh my God mini Donuts I have to go in there but I just came out of the shell store and there is so many cool shells in there I really wanted to buy this shell planter thing was so cool but I didn't think I would really have room to in my luggage to bring it home you probably don't have room for anything you got already all right well let's on out of here you ready come on there's nothing in there nothing to see here oh wow this is so cool though oh look at barbes and a mini bath of donuts oh my gosh I love it Mrs Fields Cookies Lil latte coffee espresso muffins come on it's just not fair it's just not fair oh I said I'm so full from lunch but it's like I can smell the cookies the donuts and I see Galan know it's like I just want it all thank God we ate already or else you would eat all this we wouldn't even go to lunch that's right all right well let's keep walking looks like we're almost exiting the pier here to where the day began so here's a wipe out Bar and Grill this was uh going to be our first choice for today but then that peer Market came along and brought us in but this place looks super cool like a great place to hang out and have a few beers a little something to eat what's up dude wow you know when we came in here earlier today there weren't that many people here but now this place is just packed buses everywhere traffic I mean it's out of control but you can see our ship in the distance and that only means one thing it's time to head back to the volen dam and there she is our little old Holland America cruise ship the volen dam it was a fantastic day that we had here in San Francisco who knew listen I'm not going to lie I heard the rumors I heard the talk talk about San Francisco the city's not quite what she used to be but the area down here by fisherman Warf if you're coming in on a cruise ship have no fear thanks uh for joining us here in San Francisco we hope you enjoyed watching the video hanging out with us and until next time from office here uh
