This was a new port for us and is definitely worth a repeat visit. We took the trolley tour--very informative and stopped at the mission. There were several drop off points if you wanted to wander around the city--so many things to do including flea markets, arts shows, walking on the beach, etc. The city had a tent set up with lots of info on walking tours, where to eat, etc. We enjoyed walking along the famous wooden pier. This is a tender port.

On a previous cruise we booked a "trolley" tour that only gave us about a half hour at the Mission. This time, we skipped booking a Princess tour and took Lyft directly to the Mission. After plenty of time there (a couple of hours), we walked leisurely the 3 miles or so back to the water shuttle dock, stopping at the courthouse to enjoy the view from atop the tower (free) and a big scoop of ice cream at McConnell's on State Street along the way. Also, the city has had an information tent on the sidewalk near the water shuttle dock and a free tourist shuttle bus to the courthouse & other stops the last couple of times we've been there.

We booked a sightseeing bus excursion early and had a enjoyable time. There is a small agency that uses a stretched chop 1932 open air coup painted yellow that holds 8 people. Those who booked this said it was a blast.

Walked off on my own. Did a downtown tour with the free bus. Quaint city.

30 minutes to tender to the dock, once you are actually on the tender boat. We didn't get up early for tender tickets, so our turn was approximately 2 hours after the tender services started. Santa Barbara had a downtown market and a lively group of businesses on State Street. We enjoyed walking and looking around. We had limited time available due to the tender timing. Would rate this better if we had a full day to enjoy in the port.

No excursion, but disembarked. Used the water shuttle and was easy and quick.

This was a substitution for Monterey. I booked this cruise specifically for Monterey, so disappointed.
