rkacruiser Posted November 8, 2015 #102 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I would love to stay at the Pan Pacific but I just can't justify (to myself) the cost since I travel solo. It would have to have a lift (with all my luggage and bad knees) and be within a couple of blocks of restaurants. I would like to spend under US$300 for the two nights. Scrapnana, For what my opinion is worth, in the past, I have stayed at either the Pan Pacific or the Fairmont Waterfront when in Vancouver. Since we had a day to visit the city again when I was on Satendam in September, I went into the downtown area (huffing and puffing up the hill from Canada Place) and found it to be very interesting to visit; never had spent any time in that part of Vancouver. Maybe a hotel in that area, i.e. Hotel Georgia and Hotel Vancouver appeared to be "classics". If you have not visited the city before, getting a hotel near/or the Hop On/Off Bus route is something I would strongly recommend. I hope this helps.

Rare Copper10-8 Posted November 8, 2015 #103 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) It's boat show parking. Sorry. I didn't see the post yesterday. Do you know what used to be in that lot? Was something torn down? That's south of the 17th St bridge, correct?[/color][/size][/font] Edited November 8, 2015 by Copper10-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was supposed to be a new hotel or combination residential commercial building built there, but it's been a vacant lot ever since. Granted, it's a waterfront vacant lot, with dock space.

Rare Scrapnana Posted November 8, 2015 #109 Share Posted November 8, 2015 What is that other horn that was sounding numerous times before and after the Love Boat?

I did the hop-on, hop-off bus this year and will likely do it again next year. I enjoy the commentary and convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boytjie Posted November 8, 2015 Author #125 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Tomorrow it is the Zuiderdam's turn but I may miss that too if it run's late. We are attending a fund raiser on the Celebrity Eclipse that will be overnighting in New York City tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
