Best webcam for the Lion's Gate Bridge in Vancouver I could find is here:

Not live video but there is a "replay the day" feature.  Might be able to catch Ovation passing under the bridge tonight.

 

Try this... there's not anything I know of regarding the bridge passage, however here's the port webcam.

Trying to decide the best spot to capture it from.  Any suggestions?

 

Hey twangster.... if you see this post in time, I feel the position afforded to you at the Brockton Point Lighthouse (circled in red below) might be your best bet. While it's not the bird's eye view as Prospect Point gives you, it allows you to watch Ovation as she passes you and slows to position herself for Canada Place.

 

From a distance you'll see Ovation come under the bridge... I suspect you have a great zoom lense? You can then watch her pass very close to you, and then on to Canada Place. If you're at Prospect Point, Ovation disappears as soon as she gets under the bridge

Maybe one of these years RCI will harmonize the cabin categories across the Quantum class.

Hopefully.  Wish they had these on Anthem.

This is going to be an AWESOME cruise! 😁

 

Can't wait to follow along. Makes our 440 days until our Alaska cruise out of VC not seem so far away. We plan to fly in a couple days before the cruise to explore as well. Have a GREAT cruise!

A couple pictures of her passing under the Lions Gate Bridge...

 

 

Funnels/stacks retracted

 

 

 

 

Appeared to pass under with a large margin of safety.

 

 

Stilling securing lines when I reached Canada Place.

 

 

 

It seems that CC is now blocking in-line images from the site where I host my images so these will be some of my last posted here.

Looking forward to the review. I just sailed for the first time on Q class on Anthem last week and will be on Ovation for a Seattle round trip in September.

@CC Help Jenn

Jenn,

Is the blocking intentional or new policy that wasn't intentional?

 

 

Nice picks

See you on board
