Flew into Vancouver from Atlanta the night before the cruise. Used up the last of the Holiday Inn points and stayed for free at the Holiday Inn Express Richmond. The hotel was okay, but the choices for places to eat within walking distance was limited. We chose to order from a local place that delivered to the hotel and spent a quiet night trying to get used to the time change.

We took a cab to Canada Place around 10:30 ($35). We dropped off our luggage and was on board the vessel by 11:00. The Windjammer had just opened and it was the only time all week that we were able to get a table without circling the entire dining room to look for a place to sit. Rooms opened at 1pm and we were off to the tail of the ship.

JS 1100 is on the tail of the ship in the back corner. The balcony was the highlight and almost as large as the room itself. It held 2 lounge chairs, 2 regular chairs and a table. We could have easily fit more chairs/tables if we needed. It was nice to see the full back view and also a bit of the port side, especially in Hubbard Glacier. It was really cold at times, but it was awesome to sit and see a full view instead of just one side.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite

Cabin JS

JS 1100 is a fantastic room. The closet was large enough for two and we had plenty of unused drawer space. The bathroom is plenty large and the bathtub/shower was nice without being cramped. The balcony was extra large and held two lounge chairs, two regular chairs and a table. We could have easily put more chairs and another table out there and still had room. Being on the fantail of the ship, you can see the full view instead of just one side. We chose this room specifically for this reason and it was wonderful going into and out of Hubbard Glacier.
