It was offered on the pearl for around $80 for the behind the scenes tour, or free for platinum. I don't recall the murder mystery but there was a jazz brunch.

We will be in Vancouver for the day prior to our cruise. We would like to go to Granville Island. We have a rental car but would prefer not to drive over, but take the ferry. Are there parking lots next to the ferry docks that we can park in for a few hours? Thanks in advance for your help.

Which hotel will you be staying at? You may be within walking distance to the water taxi over to Granville Island.

Is there a website for the cruise terminals in Vancouver so I can determine where the Radiance of the Sea will dock on May 22nd. Thank you.

We are staying extra day post cruise in downtown Vancouver Sunday May 27th and would like to visit Riverrock Resort and Casino in Richmond. No car. Can you tell me the best way to get there? As far as I can tell from website, they do not have a shuttle that picks up in downtown Vancouver. Any info you have will be appreciated. Thanks!

If you are staying downtown and looking for a casino visit, the Edgewater Casino is downtown right across from BC Place. Depending on your hotel it may be within walking distance. (Easy walk from the Rosedale on Robson, Hampton Inn, Westin Grand)

To River Rock you can get a taxi for about $25 from downtown. I would highly recommend this if you aren't familar with the area around River Rock. You can also get the city bus (B Line) to the Delta Airport and transfer from there, the bus you tranfer to gets you within about 2-3 blocks, it is a bit of an industrial area to walk through so I wouldn't do it in the dark. Off peak fare is $2.25 per person.

Try Delta Hotel. they will pick you up at the Airport.

taxi to habour will be $15.00 Cdn or $13.00 US.

Delta is a good CDN chain of hotels. You will have a pool and many other upgrades at the hotel.

A taxi from the Delta Airport to Canada Place is about $30CAD. To Ballantyne Pier it is about $30-35CAD.
