By Templeton Lot, do you mean the "Value Long Term Parking"? https://parking.yvr.ca/vancouverbooking/Booking/SearchParking That's a great idea about the glovebox. I'll empty it and leave it open. I was planning on taking down the tonneau to show there was nothing in my SUV "trunk" and I'll do the glovebox too. I know nothing is 100% guaranteed but the airport lots do look like a good option. One review mentions a broken window but all the other complaints are just about how annoying the ticketing system is. I'd previously stayed in the Westin Bayshore, whose parking lot is a large public garage, and I didn't have any incidents there before. But it's about twice as expensive as the airport. I'm planning to drive in same-day early in the morning, so no hotels. I'm used to lugging baggage around on buses/trains every time I fly out of SEA-TAC, so no worries there.

I guess I should add that I'm not comfortable with Valet either, so it looks like Park n Fly is out. But I did see some other airport parking options, which I was hoping were well populated and safer.

Looking for a safe garage to leave my car in Vancouver. Safety is #1 (not getting windows smashed... or towed). I don't mind if it's a ways from the port and I have to take a train/bus there. The Canada Place garage appears to be fully booked for my dates (I booked a last-minute cruise), so that likely isn't an option and I need alternatives. There are some (very expensive) garages near the harbor that I'm considering but wouldn't mind something cheaper or personally recommended. Do any of the park and rides allow overnight parking?

Thanks, all. It's reassuring to hear that they can be accommodating. I was worried that if I only eat "lunch," my options might be more limited than dinner times. The menus I've seen list a lot more options for dinner, so I'm hoping they can do something more dinner-style at lunch times on sea days. I don't need the same staff, I'd just heard that's how they handle it at dinner when you pre-order (I assumed so they can track the order). But if it's just associated with me regardless of server, that's totally fine with me. It's my first cruise so I'm trying to work out those little details, expecting to be a bit lost on the first day or so. I know I'm supposed to try to talk to them early to work out the special diets stuff but having never been, it's hard to picture exactly how to do that. All part of the adventure. 🙂

Is it possible to get special dietary dinner-type options in the MDR at lunch time? I usually eat my last meal by 2 PM. Very rarely do I eat after 5 PM so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to take advantage of the main dining dinners, but that seems to be where the most accommodations for dietary restrictions are made. Do you have the same staff every day at lunch time like dinner so that you can make request the day before like is typically recommended with dinner? I'm looking at Sapphire Princess Alaska.
