Just got off the Victory, aft balcony cabins had doors to go between the balconies if desired.

Compare that to the airport shuttle which is $20 per person/$38 round trip to be packed into a van that stops at every hotel each passenger wants, and a cab is the way to go.

Shopper's Drug mart, London drugs and 7-11 are all within 3 - 4 blocks of Canada Place - the first two would have the best prices for the pop and there is a government liquor store across from Waterfront Station which is next door to Canada Place to get your beer - beer is not sold in grocery or convenience stores in BC. That liquor store is not open Sundays or late evenings so if your are traveling on a Sunday there is another government store several blocks away that is.

 

There are a number of private liquor stores that are opened 7 days a week but their prices are much higher.

Q? how to do plan on getting the beer on board the ship?

 

Cheers

Man, it's taken me forever to find where I posted the question. You have to make a post to find a post here!

The last times we sailed Princess & RC, we rolled a suitcase filled with cans of beer & cokes onboard as carry-on. Even tho it went thru the scanner, no one cared. I carefully packed the beer in 12 pack soda boxes with soda toward the top just in case someone looked, but no one did. You can refill in the ports too. A grocery sack scanned full of cans, and no one said a word.

It saves you a ton of money onboard, and if it gets confiscated, oh well - we tried. The room steward even kept our beer packed in ice for us. (RCL's fridges do not work at all! and Pricess's do somewhat if you leave the outter door open all the time)

Also you can get a box of wine onboard in checked luggage with no corkage fee - because there is no cork!

In fact RC is so much on the honor system, you can bring booze onboard from a port. After the scanner they say, be sure to check it. About 20' inside the ship, you could walk right past the check point and no one knows you have it. Not that we did, but it certainly can be done.

Sorry if this has been asked & answered, I have hunted, but this thread is L-O-N-G....

Is there a cheap place near the Canada Place to buy soft drinks and beer by the 12 pack? Like a KMart or large grocery chain?

You lose any points accumuated over 1000 thru the end of your anniversary year. That is why folks get a second card.

I have the same question as kmacht. Cruising deposit is due in October. Can I turn in the certificate after the deposit is paid, but before the cruise in February?

You question was answered above.

4. Mail your certificate well before the final payment date.

No use waiting to the last minute in case of problems. Order and mail your certificate as early as you would like to in order to give yourself time to fix any problems if they arise.

One question regarding using the certificates. Can they be used after final payment has been made?

I read in another thread here that is the way it usually works. You pay off your balance, then the certificate amount is refunded to your card as soon as they process it. But apparently the above works too.
