We are a family of 4 - 17 year old son and 14 year old girl. This was our 4th cruise. First cruise was 3 yrs ago on board Celebrity Mercury - from Vancouver to Alaska, then we did 1 day on Sapphire Princess from Seattle to Vancouver in Sept 2005, 7 day Mex. Rev. on Sapphire Princess March 2006 and a 1 day Vancouver to Seattle on board Dawn Princess on May 12th.
We had about 24 friends who joined us on this one day cruise and met up with other fellow Cruise Critic members as well.
We got to Canada Place around 11:45 am and the line moved relatively quickly until we actually had to check in with Princess agents to receive our cabin keys etc. We had inexperienced agents.. in fact, there appeared to be quite a few new or in training agents. Hence, the lines got longer as they took a while to process each family.
