CanuckMumof2girls Posted July 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Good morning all. My daughters and their hubbys are sailing Volendam in September, First cruise for the Gentlemen. I would Like to surprise them with a limo ride from airport to cruiseport (YVR to Canada Place) I have googled but there are about 2 dozen that show up and the one on YVR website says "not currently operating", was hoping for something someone has used as a few have pages not updated since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Check on the West Coast Departures board. A number of locals can help over there. The Mods will probably move it there as this has nothing to do with HAL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outdoorphoto Posted July 25, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2023 If it is an actual stretch limo you want, make sure the service provider has them. Some only have a Town Car that won't hold 4 people and luggage and use large SUV's for larger groups. We've used kjlimousine.com twice and had good service, but only two of us so a Town Car was fine.

Rob Just curious-what’s the difference between a limousine and a town car? (I thought they were the same.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted July 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2023 We had a white stretch limo show up at Seattle's Pier 91 last week on a Carnival cruise day. Consensus from the outside staff was 'why bother?" I understand the thought behind the limo ride, but for the same or even less cost, you could have champagne delivered to their stateroom, or pay for a specialty dinner or shipboard photo package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsternight Posted July 29, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 29, 2023 If its a stretch limo you want pleasebe aware you may not get dropped off in the cruise terminal. A lot of them seem no longer permitted in the underground, and you will be dropped off on the street. Depending on the kaos you may have a bit of a walk. A year ago we had a luxury SUV take us, no problem getting in. This spring since I had my inlaws with us I booked at stretch. Hours before pickup the limo went down so they sent a transit Sprinter instead. First attempt he was turned away from drop off, second attempt he got in. Still trying to decide for August cruise. Our local taxi company has a very bad reputation for not showing up for a reservation. We have an early boarding time so may take the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
