lkmamom Posted June 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Thanks in advance for being so patient. We have cruised many times but this is our first with Holland. We are sailing from VanCouver in just a short few weeks:D and I was wondering, since we will be staying near Canada Place and check out at the hotel is noon, could we check our bags at the port and then disembark for a little walk around VanCouver before we officially embark or is it due to security, that once we embark, we need to stay onboard? I am just trying to find answers to please both DH ( who really wants to see some of VanCouver before we leave) and DS who is very excited to check out the new ship. I just thought that since the ship does not leave until 5pm there would be time to do a little sightseeing but do not know what to do with the suitcases. Thanks for all of your help, you are all so kind on these boards:) Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted June 10, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Yes, you may leave the terminal once you've checked in. But you may also drop your bags off with the steveadores (before you even go into Canada Place) then walk down to Gastown or somewhere else until you choose to go back and check in.

Yes, you can; just like Jim said! Vancouver is a great city! Gastown is worth a visit if you've never been there before; Have a great cruise!

doctork Posted June 11, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2006 You can also leave your baggage with the hotel bellman at checkout, see the sights, then pick them up later when you are ready to embark. Vancouver is a beautiful city; take the opportunity of a few hours to tour it! Have a wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkmamom Posted June 11, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Thanks so much for your replies! We are all very excited and this will help so much. We have been really studying what to do in VanCouver since our time will be limited, so this will help a lot. :D Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Walt Posted June 11, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I recommend Jim's suggestion. By checking your bags in early, not only is that chore done and you have no security issues, but also your bags will be waiting for you in your stateroom when you board, not vice versa.
