Froggy615 Posted August 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Trying to find out the quickest and least expensive way to get from disembarkment in Vancouver to the airport. There will be 5 of us traveling. Thanks for any help!!! Annetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smdubowsky Posted August 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2005 You should contact your cruise line and get a transfer from the ship to the airport with the USA Direct program if you are flying to a US city. The cost should run about $20.00USD each. The reason this is advantageous is that you will avoid going through Canadian customs at the pier and US customs later. Your baggage will go from the pier to the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robntawn Posted August 22, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2005 The limo from Canada Place to YVR is $39CAD for the group, and only takes 30-40 minutes. www.limojetgold.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowtec Posted August 25, 2005 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Just used this program on Monday - $15 per person. Decided to do a Vancouver excursion from the ship so were off the ship with no hassles by 8:15. Didn't see our luggage from the time we put it outside the stateroom Sunday night until we arrived in LA Monday night. It was fantastic!

jaxon41 Posted August 25, 2005 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Please clarify -- I was under the impression that it was 20 pp for the USA direct and another 20pp for the airport transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted August 25, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2005 gprentice- We plan on using the yvrairporter to our hotel and from the port. Did you find the ride long with all the hotel stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashdog_1 Posted August 25, 2005 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2005 If you already have a transfer it is $20 for US Direct. (our transfer came with air/cruise). On board they send out a questionnaire during the week directed to people who already have transfers. Then there is an asterisk saying, more or less, "if you would like to purchase a transfer in order to use the US direct service, please go to customer service." or something like that.

cowtec Posted August 27, 2005 #9 Share Posted August 27, 2005 We had the Princess transfers included with the cruise package. When we purchased the US Direct option - which was $15 per person - we decided to take an excursion in Vancouver as we weren't boarding the plane home until after 4 PM. Once they had enough people for that excursion, we turned in our transfers and were given $18 credit per person. The US Direct program on the Dawn Princess was fantastic and I would do it again in a minute! :D Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
