I didn't do an NCL excursion. I signed up for the city bikes Mobi for $12 for a 24 hour pass. Journeys up to 30 mins are included. I cycled around Stanley park and over to Grenville Island. Lovely way to spend a few hours. Read Less

This tour left at 7:30PM and we arrived back at Canada place at 9:40PM, perfect timing to NOT stand in line to check in!! Read Less

Loved Granville Island. Read Less

Took the seabus to North Vancouver. As it was a pleasant day, we enjoyed the market and walks Read Less

Getting on the Ship in Vancouver was a breeze. The taxi ride from the Airport to the Cruise Terminal was a standard $36. We had 4 people so it was a great deal. Read Less

I stayed a night before at the Moda Hotel a three-star downtown. Because its in the city core the night noise was loud, but the room was clean and comfortable. I just walked around and the smell of marajuana is at times overpowering. Read Less

Fly over Canada is a great experience Read Less

Went on half day whale trip Read Less

Vancouver is larger than I remember. You can get a day pass for the train system for about $8 US. Bicycled around Stanley Park for $20 each. Finally found the particular native art we were looking for on Granville Island. Had more Tim Horton's (eh), and fancy tea. Canadian Brewhouse is good for beer, sports, and bar food, if you're so inclined. Also, they have poutine at A&W in Gastown! Read Less

We self-toured Stanley Park, Granville Island and Capilano Suspension Bridge. Read Less

Least favorite stop. After Victoria, Vancouver was a shock. Very elitist attitude! Read Less

Embarkation and sign in was easy and well organized Read Less

Very well organized place. Also expensive. Read Less

We live close to Vancouver and always enjoy visiting. Read Less

From what I saw of Vancouver, it is a pretty cool city and the sights were beautiful. Read Less

Our pre-cruise stay was as the Exchange Hotel located a couple of blocks away from the cruise port at Canada Place. The weather was typical Northwest – cloudy with a couple of periods of heavy rain. Vancouver is really a beautiful city. Read Less

I just drove through Read Less

Great city to start a cruise from; efficent embarcation and friendly locals. Great public transportation too ! Read Less

We flew in the day before what a beautiful area and we will go back. Read Less

We went on our own and took the ferry to shop at the tourists places Read Less

We stayed an extra night in Vancouver before flying home. There is so much to see that it can seem overwhelming. We checked out bags at the dock and used public transportation to explore Stanley Park, Granville Island and the Chinese Garden in Chinatown. Fly Over Canada is at Canada Place and was our first stop (while waiting for the rain to stop). Highly recommend this theater experience as a great intro to Canada. Dinner at Cactus Cafe in Yaletown was excellent. Gastown is also a fun place to explore. Taxi ride to the airport the next morning was under 30 minutes. Read Less

Transfer to airport went smoothly. For the price I would recommend just booking this through Norwegian. Read Less

The entry into Vancouver airport was a cattle call. Massive groups of people moving from one station to the next;collect baggage;move thru line at Canadian customs; then massive line at Canadian security again. Then move to line for cruise ship terminal transfer; then board bus & wait in heat for the bus to fill up. Driver wasted time giving us the scenic route thru town 30 min drive took 1 hour, he even stopped for water bottles (he asked for a vote)... Read Less

Fun place to visit. Pretty clean, lots of places to eat. Read Less

Terrible experience clearing Canadian Customs. Line just to get down the escalator to get to Customs was 45 mnutes long. Took 2 hours to go through the process. Read Less
