Going Where No FunShip Has Gone Before
No, it's not space, the final frontier. It's San Francisco. It's hard to believe but Carnival Cruise Line has never homeported a ship in the City by the Bay. But that's going to change in 2020.
San Francisco will become Carnival Cruise Line's 19th home port in North America when Carnival Miracle operates a series of cruises from there to Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico.

Princess Cruises is First Customer for San Francisco Shore Power
This morning, Island Princess became the first ship to plug into the Port of San Francisco’s new shore power, which is also the first port in the state to offer the facility.
"Cold ironing" allows a ship to plug into the city’s power grid and shut down their engines while in port, thus reducing air emissions.
The process of connecting the ship’s four, three-and-a-half inch power cables takes about 40 minutes to connect and power down the ship’s engines. (Another 40 minutes is required when the ship is ready to leave.)
Island Princess' connection to shore power is shown below.
