We flew into Vancouver a day early and were very glad that we did. We had Princess book our flights and that worked out great for us. As soon as we got through Customs, Princess was waiting for us. They took our bags from us and got us a cab right away. They loaded everything and we were off to the Sutton Place.

Sutton Place was very pretty. The employees were very helpful to us. They had good recommendations for dinner and gave us a good list of places to see. We ate at Milestones and the food was wonderful. The wait staff was excellent. We then walked around Vancouver and found Canada Place. We did some shopping and some window shopping. The next day we got up and met with the Princess reps. We asked if it was ok for us to walk to the Canada Place because we wanted to do some site seeing near Canada Place, even though we had paid for the transfer. They said that was fine and they would still take our luggage.

We got to Canada Place around 1130 and only had to wait a few minutes to board the Coral. Once on board, the trip just got better. The Coral is a beautiful ship!! We went right to our room, but it was not ready yet so we decided to explore the ship and eat lunch. Bandit was our waiter and he was excellent!! He was very friendly and polite. Always smiling and willing to answer all of our questions. After lunch in the Horizon Court, which was not bad and the desserts were excellent, we went on exploring the ship. Every Princess employee that we encountered during the entire week, was very courteous, polite, helpful and they always had a smile for us. We then went up to Lido Deck and enjoyed sailaway!! The first full day at sea, Tuesday, was a little choppy. According to what was on Coral TV the waves were about 4 feet. It was not too bad. On this day we ate breakfast in the dining room and that was very nice. We sat with other people and it was nice to meet others around us. My husband and I renewed our vows that night and it was also the first formal night. The renewal of the vows was worth the money!! Princess had everything worked out, went over what would happen during the ceremony and asked if we had anything we wanted to add. Once it came time for us, they escorted us into the Chapel and the ceremony began. We bought the cheaper of the two packages and that was more than enough for us!! The pictures turned out great!! We then went to dinner and the food was excellent. We ate in the Bordeaux because we had anytime dining. We would do the anytime dining again. It worked out the best for us. We could eat once we got back on the ship and never had to rush. We had Bandit as our waiter again. He did an excellent job with his recommendations and made sure we were happy. Everyone looked great all dressed up. Read more
