  1. Usually I have walked off a Ship in Vancouver about 8:00 A.M. It is then at least 1/2 hour to the airport. So in THEORY you would have enough time. I for 1 would not count on the theory, as if the ship were late and you got off at 8:30 and had a long line to clear Canadian Customs and Immigration, you could be looking at 9:30 at the Airport, and if US Customs and Immigration are busy when you get there, (And I have seen and heard about very long slow lines at YVR for US Customs and Immigration) you could very easily miss a 10:30 A.M. flight.

  2. On the Summit years ago on an Alaska Cruise, I had been on a fishing excursion and got back to my cabin a little on the late side, and my Room Steward was already fixing the room up for the evening. She asked me right away how the fishing had been! Then the last sea day, I had purchased a T Shirt and something else, and headed back to my cabin with of course a bag in one hand. My room steward saw me headed toward my cabin and rushed ahead of me to open the cabin door. Highly unecessary BUT even more highly appreciated! Then on the Galaxy a 12 nighter out of San Juan, a bunch of us CC types got together every night in the Martini Bar, and by early on decided that we would be in the same corner. The Waiter got to know us and what we wanted and as soon as we got seated he was there with our drink! He would often be busy as we left for dinner, but he let us go and then tracked us down at our tables to get the bill signed. I think his pockets were quite heavy at the end of the last night, even paper money can add up to weight quickly!

  3. 3 instead of 4 downs, longer and wider field, more players on the field, backfield can move before ball is snapped, all in all a better game. Major League without mega hype. Then of course there is the Grand National drunk AKA the Grey Cup Game, which is the Championship game of the CFL. The end result on the field is irrelevant, the parties leading up to it can be magnificent!:D
