Thanks @SuzD123 and @martincath ( hope I got that correct) ...

Yup, you got it, and thanks for reporting back on your experience - may I ask what time you traveled at? That rate seems remarkably low with yesterday being our local Marathon! Street access to the pier was more limited than usual so us locals had been warning folks to expect higher fares (well, not for the fixed rate cabs from YVR obviously, but for all other car based travel yesterday morning at least!)

We traveled by Lyft at 11:30 am on Sunday. I am sure if it was a week day and near rush hour it would be higher. As a comparison, we traveled from Central Pacific Station (Amtrak) at 4:45pm on Saturday to the hotel by the airport and the Lyft rate was $28.75 CAD. Still pretty decent. Ride took about 45 min with traffic.

If arriving after 11:00 a.m. or after

Enter the Pan Pacific Hotel and take the Canada Place Convention Center elevators to Level CS, and luggage drop off will be there.  Level CS is below street level and if you don't take the elevator, you'll have to maneuver your luggage down a steep ramp.  

 

If arriving before 11:00 a.m.

Enter the Pan Pacific Hotel and take the Canada Place Convention Center elevators to Level P2, and luggage drop off will be here.  This is the parking garage and you'll have to walk to the other end of the garage.  After dropping off your luggage, you take the elevators nearest luggage drop off back up to Level CS.  Luggage drop off here starts at around 9:30 a.m. and stays open until check-in closes.

 

Last piece of advice is to pay attention to sign with the ship name in front of the luggage carts.  You don't want your luggage going to the wrong ship!

SCX22, WOW, what a great description of your recommended luggage-drop procedure for Canada Place.  This is just the info I have been looking for.  Our first Cruise is coming up the second week of July ‘24, and thanks to you, our embarkation day will certainly be smoother.

Thanks Again…..

We boarded the Grand Princess on June 5th and luggage drop off was on the street level on the left side of Canada Place. There were lots of people holding signs telling you where to go for luggage drop off.

It apparently varies by ship/cruise line. We sailed in May 2024 on the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam and we dropped our luggage on the right side facing the terminal on the the 2nd floor below street level. We were able to drive right up to the drop point when the bags are handed to the porters because we were in a private car. It is my understanding that if you come by cab or ride share you get dropped at the street on the right side but pick up on disembarkation is a block and a half away on the opposite side.
