We’re sorry to hear you weren’t able to join us. Our cruises operate rain or shine, and while we understand that weather can be a concern, we do our best to provide a great experience in all conditions. Since your reservation was still available to use, we offer rescheduling rather than refunds. We hope you’ll have the chance to visit San Francisco again and experience the cruise!
