Vancouver-Seward 7 day Inside Passage:
We flew into YVR Wednesday night to make sure there was time to recover from any mishaps. None were had. Stayed at Days Inn Airport. Hotel Shuttle was there at midnight for the short ride to hotel. Nice room, good breakfast, walking distance to train station. Hotel booked a taxi for 4 adults plus 8 bags to Canada Place only $35 plus tip. Train is a cheaper option but not as easy as the taxi.
July 16, 2015: 5 minute walk to SkyTrain Bridgeport Station. Purchased DayPass (all day train, bus, SeaBus Pass) $9.75/$7 kids & seniors. Spent the day at Stanley Park riding the shuttle around the park, taking pics along the way, enjoyed a nice lunch at Stanley's Bar & Grill (highly recommend the salmon sandwich) and strolling the gardens next door to the grill.
Our Cabin Steward, Renato, was there to greet us when we arrived at embarkation. He greeted us with a big smile and a handshake, making us feel like we were special guests in his home. Our cabin was immaculate and larger than expected. Our Oceanview window was large with a leather love seat and coffee table to enjoy the view. Renalto kept our room clean and organized with special towel animals, chocolates and ship news decorating our bed. The last evening, he made sure we had water and fresh fruit to enjoy during our early morning walk off. We were very pleased with our cabin's location. There was a crew door next to ours and, although we saw crew coming & going, we never heard them.
