We are 4 people cruising from Vancouver in July. We would like to have dinner in town the day before our ship departs. Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant preferably near Canada Place - hopefully with great views for dinner. We are pretty flexible - like nice dining but it doesn't need to be over the top - seafood, Italian - almost anything. Prefer entrees to be under $40.00.

Our ship is docked until 10PM and we are 4 people thinking of having dinner in town. Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant - preferably with great atmosphere or water view in town. In a perfect world we would like something that reflects the area we are in - Entree prices in $30's or less. It doesn't have to be fancy as long as it is really good.

We are taking late evening flight from San Francisco on day our ship docks in July and want to store our luggage for the day. I know you can do it at Welcome Center but that closes at 7PM and we weren't sure we wanted to head for airport that early.

I searched online and found a company called Bounce which operates in San Francisco and NYC and appears to broker places in city to store luggage for day. Does anyone have any experience booking through them?

If not, any suggestions for a place to store 6 bags for the day.

I checked my cruise documents as well as the Port of San Francisco schedule and they both say Pier 35 south

We are 4 people and are looking to eat off ship on Saturday night in July. We will be seeing Beach Blanket Babylon first so will be in the North Beach area. Can anyone recommend a really nice restaurant (hopefully not all tourists) that we can either walk to or are no more than 10 minute cab ride. We don't want it to be outrageously noisy. Entrees ideally in $3000 range but definitely no more than $45.00. Someone had recommended several to us - Cotogna, Slanted Door, Kokkahi and Flour and Water. I haven't checked yet for location. Any opinions welcome.

we are docking at Pier 35 and I believe we are only ship that day in our terminal. Are we within reasonable walking distance of North Beach area - we are going to Beach Blanket Babylon and I didn't know if we could walk or needed to Uber.

we are on Crystal cruise ending in San Fransisco and plan to spend day touring and leave on red eye. Can anyone suggest where we can leave luggage for day? I heard there is a place at pier 39 but I believe it closes at 700 and we weren’t sure we would be ready to pick it up by then.

We are 4 people and cruising out of Vancouver. We have heard Stanley Park is wonderful and thought we would like to visit it the day before our cruise departs. What is the best mode of transportation from downtown to Stanley Park? Is Uber available? Otherwise are taxis plentiful? Any idea of how long it would take to get there and what the cost would be? We won't be biking there and I am not sure how long to block out for the visit.

Any other "must see" suggestions for a couple of days in Vancouver?

We are 4 people arriving for day on Crystal Symphony in July. We have heard the gardens are fabulous and would like to see them. What is the best way for us to get from the pier to the gardens? Is Uber available? Otherwise are taxis plentiful? Anyone have any idea of how long it will take to get there and what the cost might be?

Our ship actually docks early the previous day so I was told we could get off at 7 with no problem.

We don't typically like ship excursions because there are too many people on them. We often use private guides - there are 4 of us so it is sometimes not much more expensive.

Our cruise is embarking in Vancouver on July 8 and I have been told we can start boarding around noon. We would like to drop off our luggage though much earlier so we can spend the better part of the day touring. I have heard that we can drop off as early as 9:30 but I was curious if anyone knows for sure.

Does anyone know how early we can drop off our luggage at the port before our cruise departs. They said we can board starting at noon.

We are 4 people leaving our ship very early on July 15 (7:00). Can anyone recommend a reliable company for a private transfer. The cruise line wants a ridiculous amount of money.

We are on a ship arriving July 10 - there are 4 of us and we have never been there before. Any recommendations for a great 1 day itinerary? We would consider hiring a private guide as well if you have any great recommendations.

We are 4 people on a cruise arriving July 12 in Astoria. We don't particularly like ship excursions and wondered what you might recommend for some sightseeing that day. We will hire a private guide if necessary but if we can get around on our own that would be great.

We will be in Astoria for one day July 12 on cruise. There are 4 of us and we have never been there before. We don't like ship excursions and wondered if you could recommend either a private guide or suggest a 4-6 hour itinerary that would give us a taste of Astoria.

I screwed up and bought tickets a few weeks ago for the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam but didn't realize I bought them for wrong day. When I went on website this morning - tickets are all sold out for the days we will be in Amsterdam. I assume tour operators buy them up and that possibly we can get them in secondary market. Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy 4 tickets for morning of July 5?

We used Catherine ( tour.designer@provence-travel.com ) for a day in Provence from Marseilles. She offered several different itineraries - picked us up promptly from ship and we had a lovely day with her. I would highly recommend her.

We are 4 people in Paris for 3 days in July. Our friends have never been there before and want to see all the typical basic tourist sites. They like using a guide for a 1/2 day walking tour to familiarize themselves with an area. Any recommendations for good guides. Also are there any companies that do very small group walking tours?

We are flying into Paris in July and would like to arrange for a private car service to our hotel. It will probably have to be a minivan because of luggage. Can anyone recommend a reliable company that does a meet and greet at airport and will pick us up at hotel for the return.

We have 1 1/2 days in Edinburgh when we go to Scotland for my husband to go golfing. We are staying at Balmoral Hotel. I have hear that we should see the yacht and castle but I don't know what else you could suggest for a full day of sightseeing.

we are stopping in Scotland on a European trip this summer so my husband can play St. Andrews golf course. We will be spending two nights at Gleneagles Resort and my husband is playing two rounds of golf. I know there is a spa at hotel but am looking for things to do for two days.

Does it make any sense to drive with him to St. Andrews and visit the town while he plays golf or is there anything else closer to hotel that you could suggest.

We will be in Amsterdam in July and only have a short time to explore the city. We are staying at The Dylan Hotel.

Can anybody recommend a good itinerary for us to follow. Do you think we will have time to perhaps get out of city for 1/2 day to see the windmills and countryside?

Do we need to hire a private guide to do any walking tours? LAstly how long is ride from airport to hotel?

Thanks so much for any info you can provide.

We prefer a private driver
