Finally it’s time to board the ship. One of the nice things about staying at the Pan Pacific Vancouver, is it’s right at the cruise terminal (at least if your ship is leaving from Canada Place). So in the morning, all you do is call the desk and have the hotel bellmen pick up your luggage, and they arrange to take it to the ship. Talk about easy. Then, after checking out, all you have to do is hop in the elevator down to the cruise port level. We did that around 11:30, and basically walked through the entire process with no lines, and got right on the ship.
Later that evening, watched as we left the city of Vancouver. Have found it kinda interesting, we’ve run into a couple of cruise staff that we had during out last cruise, which was on the sister to the Island, the Coral Princess. Lauren’s one of the assistant cruise directors (don’t know if she was listed as assistant or junior last time aruond), and Bryan was the shore excursion manager, I’m guessing he’s doing the same thing here since his name is at least listed as part of the shore excursion staff.
