To my knowledge, what you can bring back duty-free (as I assume that's what you're asking about) is not affected by the country or countries that you visit while you're away from Canada - only the total time you're outside Canada.

Are you staying in LA, or just transferring through (and your bags are booked through)? If you're only in transit in LA, then the only restrictions are the Canadian ones that depend on how long you are gone, not where you've been. However, if you are collecting your bags and staying in LA, then you also have to abide by the US restrictions.

No I’m only traveling though LA we get the cruise in LA I fly from Vancouver to LA and then get the ship there

There are no different customs limits if you were in the USA or in Mexico. It is all based on the number of days since you left Canada until your return back into Canada.

 

If you are away for a total of 7 days or more you can bring up to $800 CAD equivalent back with you, without paying duty or taxes. (From the CRA site)

With your cruise ending in LA, US customs duty restrictions will apply. Not sure about difference with Canadian customs. You can check here if there is any difference.

As long as you are not leaving any items in the USA the US customs do NOT apply

Check the US CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) web site. You may be considered in transit, or you may have to meet US customs regs. The CBP can give you all the details that you need.

If you get off the ship in LA you will clear US customs upon debarking - unless you have somehow arranged with the cruise line for them to directly route your bags to Canada without your collecting them.
