Vancouver Piers???

[teacherman]

We are looking at a B2B next September on RCCL. Itinerary says ship arrives at "Ballantine Pier" but later that day leaves from "Canada Place". Is this the same pier?

It is two different piers.

No, they're different piers; Ballantyne is about 1½ miles east of Canada Place (which is right downtown).

However, while RCCL mostly operate into Ballantyne during the year, it seems highly unlikely to me they'd move the ship mid-day. Most of the time RCCL's repo cruises do dock at Canada Place, it's only the weeklies that dock at Ballantyne. I would keep an eye on the Vancouver Port Authority Cruise Calendar next year and see where it's really docking. Worst case scenario, it's a $10 cab ride between piers.
