Baggage drop location Vancouver cruise terminal.

[dces1]

Getting lots of conflicting answers. Boarding Sapphire Princess Saturday. Is baggage drop outside main terminal entrance or in underground drop off area? I will also need to find where to get wheelchair assistance. Thanks in advance.

We have been through Vancouver several times, but not on Princess. There is a very convenient (IMHO) below ground dropoff area. I would imagine there would not be something different for Princess.

We have sailed out of Vancouver 4 times and the luggage drop off has always been in the underground parking area.

If you don’t want to walk down the ramp you can go into Canada Place and take the elevators down to the CS level

As per everyone else commenting, you walk down the ramp, then along to the underground drop off, then up the escalators or use elevator to get to check in/immigration. A taxi will take you to the luggage drop off area. If you stay at the Pan or across the road at the Fairmont Waterfront, they will deliver your luggage for a small gratuity.

I think the issue is because this year a couple of tweaks are being trialled - asking cruiselines to stagger boarding times more, and ADDING an extra opportunity to hand luggage over as you enter the convention hall!

 

So folks who get dropped off by cab etc. downstairs don't need to schlep bags up any levels, nor do folks who walk in from street level have to schlep bags down any levels... everybody wins!

 

NB: can't guarantee the convention centre level bag drop is every day; all season; only busy days; or gets stopped because it's not working as well as hoped! But for OP @dces1 to ensure you get wheelchair assistance in the right place you are supposed to do that via your cruise line - in case you get the runaround from CSRs going by scripts with no local knowledge of the Vancouver terminal, you could try contacting their shoreside agency (last year Princess used Destination North America who you can contact by phone: +1 (604) 641 1221) or reach out to the port directly about accessibility services by email: cruiseservices@portvancouver.com

 

Hope that helps!

Destination North America are providing shore services again this year. I have a friend who works for them part time.
