Quick Shuttle Bus from Pier 91 to Vancouver, Canada

[ChiLuvs2Trav]

We are planning on walking off RC Ovation of the Seas with our luggages on May 13, 2022 to board the 9:45am Quick Shuttle bus to Vancouver, Canada.  Are there any potential problems I might not be aware of?

I would make sure that you have a good breakfast before getting off the Ovation, and take one of the later disembarkation time slots.  We will not know if there will be a single coffee/snack vendor outside the terminal until the season starts.  Last year there was not, but in previous years there were. 

 

In past season, the folks waiting for the Ouick Shuttle waited on the right side of the drive way area looking out from the Pier 91 terminal building.  You will be waiting about  2/3 to 3/4 the way down the drive under the overhead awning on the right side (all the buses are staged there).  There will be transportation and wheelchair pushers out and about who can help you.  It will probably be chaotic as it I believe will be the first two ship day, and there may be new staff that are still leaning their jobs.

 

That said, if everything goes well, by the time disembarkation is over, you and your fellow Quick Bus passengers might be the only folks out there.  At least in the past, the Quick Bus is well marked and you will see it as it drives in.

 

There are two restrooms at the front of the terminal building to the left of the center doors.  One Men's and one Women's.    They are both single use, so if it is locked, it means it is in use.

@ChiLuvs2Trav, also check the Seattle weather forecast the day before you disembark.  The overhead awnings will shield you from any rain, but if it is foggy, or we have marine air cloud cover, it could be very cold and windy.  Once you leave the ship you you will be walking thru the luggage hall, thru the passport check kiosks, then outside.  There is no waiting area inside Pier 91 for disembarked passengers.  Once you are off the ship, you are on your way to the outdoors.  So be prepared for whatever weather we have while you wait for your bus.

If you are arriving at the dock at Canada Place, it is very easy to find your way around. Canada Place itself is right in downtown Vancouver, so you can walk to lots of places. But if you want to find a bus anywhere, you can use this link: https://www.translink.ca/ This link provides detailed information about bus routes and times. When you arrive, just specify "Canada Place" for your departure point and then enter your destination.

It will be a 4-5 min walk to your first bus, but the rest is easy.
