shiner6 Posted May 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2022 How crazy is it during disembarkation at Canada Place? We are a family of 6 able bodied individuals who are staying at 'The Sutton Place' upon return to Vancouver. What are our best choices to get there and drop off our belongings so we can head out to explore Vancouver for the day? We plan on self-disembarking.

julia Posted May 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2022 If you are all "able bodied" with reasonable baggage and weather permitting, it is only a 15-20 minute walk (1.0 km) from Canada Place to the Sutton Place. If not, then perhaps split into two groups and grab a taxi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted May 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Yup - I'd just walk it, unless you see that the cab queue is short. If so, maybe load ALL the bags but just a couple of people into the cab while the others walk over! Sutton is moderately fancy - a bellhop should be available to help with the bags from the curb, but if they're all helping elsewhere then 2 folks allows one to head in for a trolley while the other guards the pile. Random, opportunistic property theft downtown tends to be more "Aha! A rental car with Shiny Things inside! Smashy-window, grabby-runny!" but an unwatched pile of suitcases might also wander off... If you don't all have free data/calls in Canada, the citywide official WiFi network works perfectly well for messaging or even VOIP calls - some folks reported they even manged a video-proctored Covid test using it - so if you connect any WiFi enabled devices to #VanWiFi you can easily stay in touch while separated; makes it trivial to do different touristy things and meet back up for lunch etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
