This was our first cruise on Celebrity, our other cruises were on Royal Caribbean.
We arrived in Vancouver 2 days early to allow us some free time before the cruise. We went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and the Fly Over Canada. Both well worth the money.
We stayed at the Days Inn, a couple of blocks from Canada Place. It was a very easy walk even with our luggage (one large roller, three smaller roller suitcases). The hotel has some age on it, and the rooms were small, but we saved a hundred or so per night compared to other hotels.
