    airport to Canada Place

    Unless the Arthur Laing bridge is congested with commuter traffic (you can check Google Maps), I vote taxi with 3 people as the price is so close the Canada with the airport surcharge leaving the airport. Taxi... you get to see the city instead of watching a dark tunnel door to door...

    Recommendation of hotel near the Vancouver Airport ??

    My fav airport hotel would be the Raddison Vancouver Airport. Canada Line station (subway) is across the street. You can be downtown in 20 minutes for $4. Super convenient for the airport or the cruise terminal. Two adjacent malls with two supermarkets lots of Asian restaurants and two major...

    Pre-cruise hotel in Vancouver

    There is no Seattle to Vancouver ferry. You either fly, Amtrak or Greyhound into Vancouver. In terms of hotels, it depends on your budget. It costs significantly more to staying at the cruise terminal hotels. Blue Horizon is a popular budget hotel for cruisers.

    Will people return to cruising?

    The 14 day post-cruise unpaid isolation is the biggest reason holding me back. I can't be away for 3 or 4 weeks from the office. I so miss my MdDS treatments.

    Carnival Suspending All Princess Cruises for 60 Days

    I think Princess is very challenged... with travel to Europe restricted 30 days and more regions potentially to come. It's easier for Princess to "reset" and look at a 60 day shutdown for clients and staff. With past issues on the Diamond and Grand, the Princess brand is hurt and needs rebuilding.
