Vancouver post cruise question

[cusematt4]

Hi all - does anyone have any suggestions for a post cruise day in Vancouver?  First time in Vancouver, flight home isn’t until 10pm.  We’ll have a full day once we get off the ship.

In addition to recommendations, any advise on what to do with our luggage?

Thanks!

The port is in downtown so a lot of key sights and attractions are reasonable distance (ie walkable or 15-20 min drive away) .  Obviously it depends on what kind of things interest you and weather/rain can play a part on what will be enjoyable.  If you provide some high level guidance, many of the locals would be happy to provide more detailed suggestions.  

Personally, I think some of the best of Vancouver is along the water:  A walk along the seawall, Granville Island and the public market, Stanley Park, etc.  And depending on when you are in town, there are generally many festivals and events when the weather gets more consistently sunny.

 

As to what to do with luggage, there are some threads/post that talk about leaving your luggage with the Pan Pacific Hotel's (which is located basically above the port) bell staff for a nominal fee.  I've used a service called Bounce in Los Angeles which also seems to also have partners (hotels and small businesses with space to store luggage which you get to choose from) in Vancouver.
