Nope - don't even try it. It's at least a 1 hour drive, more in rush hour, and you have to clear US Customs after check-in in YVR. I've seen the Customs line being a couple of hours, often depending on how many cruise ships come in.

This may be a dumb question, but it's been a long time since we did an ocean cruise. Sailing on the Royal on 02 March out of San Francisco. Can we drop our luggage off and check in later to board?
