My 2 adult daughters and I flew from Chicago to Vancouver and spent the night at the Delta Inn and Suites in downtown Vancouver. Pricey but nice accommodations and a very friendly and helpful staff. It was about $30 by cab from the airport. The hotel is in walking distance to Gastown with a lot of shops and restaurants. Only a 3 min. taxi ride to the pier.
We left the hotel at noon to board the Radiance of the Seas. Yes,there was a line boarding the ship, but it went very smoothly.
We still had not received 2 pieces of luggage at 10:30pm---found out they were being "held" because one bag had power cord and the other had a small fan. These items were not allowed.
cabin 9602--great location--close to the stairs and elevators.
lots of storage even with 3 people sharing a cabin
never heard any outside noise
