We traveled on The Serenade on the repo cruise to Alaska and the West Coast, departing Vancouver on September 19, 2009.
Arrival into Vancouver was uneventful, until Immigration. There were over one thousand passengers in the arrival terminal, and -four- immigration agents. It took over 2-1/2 hours to get through immigration, then another half-hour to finally find our bags that were in several big piles. Hope Vancouver gets its act together before the Olympics!
Vancouver is an absolutely gorgeous city - we also took the train to Whittier, site of the ski events for the 2010 Olympics.......another beautiful town. If in Vancouver, look into The Whistler Mountaineer....well worth the trip.
Our cabin, a Grand Suite, was spacious. Plenty of room to move about; spacious closets. Only thing is the side of tub in the bath is very high, a little disadvantage to my 5'8" Partner getting in and out.
