We live in Vancouver, so for us the ship was a two-stop train ride on the Canada Line. Because of the royal visit at Canada Place that morning, and with 3 ships docked, we went down to the pier at 9:30 where the port had organized the embarcations to come in at one end of the terminal and the disembarcations to leave via the other end. The process was very efficient and we were checked in and had our seapass card by 10:00 am. After security and a stop to get our photos taken, we were on board by 11:00 am. This avoided the inevitable line-ups and we got to enjoy the ship that much earlier.

The ship is 15 years old and has had some renovations and changes made recently, but this was our first time on a Millenium-Class ship and we were looking forward to seeing it.
