  1. Yes they did. Tour operators who have experience working with cruise passengers will be familiar with the set up and should be able to suggest a convenient meeting point.
  2. But paying by ACH doesn't give you the same protection as paying with a credit card.
  3. My very first cruise departed from Canada Place on July 1, 2001. I have fond memories of Canadians out and about in Vancouver celebrating the holiday. 🇨🇦
  4. @ShipWalker, I'm laughing at lemon 🍋 scented. 😁
  5. I don't believe Viking's fares include tips. Also, some lines such as Uniworld and Tauck (the ones I'm familiar with) include all alcohol (not just beer and wine) and alcohol is available all the time, not just at mealtimes. You really need to sit down and figure out all the inclusion and exclusions before making a decision based solely on fares.
  6. Rafting or no rafting, I've enjoyed all my river cruises. @Snowcat1, what exactly about rafting is bothering your DH?
  7. With 12-15 couples, I would definitely use the services of a TA that specializes in river cruises, and let them negotiate a deal for your group and handle all the bookings.
  8. I enjoyed reading your review. Glad your return to cruising was a success.
  9. More seating in the Lido and/or more 2-top tables for solos and couples. More specialty cafes such as the Dutch Cafe that are included in the fare. Full promenade deck.
  10. Where is the train station and how do you get to it from Seatac? How much does it cost and where does it drop you off in Vancouver?
  11. I used to use Quick Shuttle, but their current schedule gets you to Canada Place at 2:30 and all aboard is 3:00. Don't know why they don't adjust their schedule for cruise passengers.
  12. I'm flying into Seattle and taking the HAL transfer.
  13. I sailed Tauck last year, and they asked that each passenger only bring one suitcase to minimize the staff's workload. I was on an 8-day cruise and was able to pack enough in one suitcase and a carryon to get me through without having to send out laundry. We often got back late from tours, and I sometimes wore the same top to dinner and exchanged my leggings for a pair of pants.
  14. Those prices are very reasonable when you compare them to what couples are spending for weddings on land.
  15. Which means they use their customers' money instead of taking out bank loans.
  16. Sorry I missed that. In post #2 they say Celebrity. I think the OP is confused.
  17. I went as an adult and thought it was fun.
  18. My personal opinion is that Viking uses their customers as their bank. I doubt they keep the advance payments in a non interest bearing account.
