My hubby and I want to see the Wonder go under the Golden Gate on Oct 9th. It says on the DCL site all ashore is 830 am. Anyone have an idea when she will be coming in?

We were on the 9/16 cruise and sailed under the bridge around 630 on Tuesday morning, then again around 1030 Wednesday night.
 
We were on the Sept 23rd Pixar cruise and we sailed under at about 6:50am but there was such heavy fog paired with sunrise being slower and later (navigator had it listed as 7:00am but we have no clue when it actually was due to all of the fog)we could barely see any of it. They blasted the fog horn consistently every few minutes for at least an hour if not more prior to us going under it and about half way to the pier until the sun was up and we got passed the fogginess...this was sort of cool to listen to and just float along in the fog and hear ours and the bridges horns going off (in fact we got fog horn quite a bit that entire night starting at about 10pm well before we were anywhere close to San Fran...nothing obnoxious...it was actually sort of neat..but of course we were in the mid shop so it didn't bother us at all inside our stateroom

We sailed back out shortly after the late showing in Walt Disney theater on Wednesday night --(this was the Finding Nemo night so we didn't get out until almost 9:45pmish ) because we just barely happened to catch it by stepping out on deck 4 as we came out of the theater..but again tons of fog plus it was fully night at that point so nothing to really "see"


Here are photos from when we went under it taken from our verandah at 6568 starboard side..

Nothing:

We sailed on the April/May repo cruise to Vancouver last year and the Wonder approached the Golden Gate bridge around 6am at full speed. My husband woke me up with such excitement....well then the ship slowed right down to a bare crawl :rotfl2: and it took us about 1/2 - 1 hour to reach the bridge and go under :rotfl:

It was absolutely breathtaking. I think we had rare weather. Sun was rising, no fog, just a sunrise and the golden gate approaching. I couldn't have asked for a more memorable morning.
